Purpose: We aimed to identify collaborative disaster governance through the demand and supply analysis of resources recognized by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: We used a descriptive study design with an online survey technique for data collection. The survey questions were developed based on focus group interviews with nurses responding to COVID-19 and expert validity testing.
Background: This study aimed to develop and validate an assessment instrument for students engaging with an algorithm-based simulation scenario addressing emergency measures for high-risk newborns with apnea in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Method: The study was conducted in two phases of development and evaluation of the algorithm-corresponding instrument. One hundred sixty-nine senior nursing students from two universities in South Korea were evaluated using the developed instrument.
This study aimed to evaluate child health needs in South Korea and the country's healthcare system capacities to meet them. A comprehensive needs assessment was performed by reviewing child health programs in Korea, followed by focus group discussions and individual interviews with multiple health experts and practitioners. Analysis of the meeting and interview transcripts were identified seven major domains of child health needs and healthcare system capacities.
