As the need for greater global health competency increases for health care professionals in South Korea, educational efforts for nursing students have begun. This study examined the effectiveness of two educational courses for freshmen and sophomores that were designed to improve students' global health competencies.
A trend study was conducted for all undergraduate nursing students enrolled in a 4-year undergraduate nursing program in 2013 and 2014.
We assessed students' global health competencies (1-knowledge and interests in global health and health equity, 2-global health skills, and 3-learning needs) in 2013 and 2014 and analyzed variance between mean scores by year and by course exposure, using 95% confidence intervals.
Students who took both global health courses (sophomores in both years) reported higher global health-related knowledge and interests than did freshmen (p < .01); these scores were not sustained a year later.
The two courses may have improved students' global health competencies. Reinforcement of knowledge in later courses may be needed to build on the global competencies.
随着韩国医疗保健专业人员对全球健康能力的需求日益增加，针对护理专业学生的教育工作已经展开。本研究考察了为大一和大二学生设计的两门教育课程在提高学生全球健康能力方面的有效性。
对2013年和2014年就读于四年制本科护理专业的所有本科护理学生进行了一项趋势研究。
我们在2013年和2014年评估了学生的全球健康能力（1. 对全球健康和健康公平的知识与兴趣，2. 全球健康技能，以及3. 学习需求），并使用95%置信区间分析了各年份及课程接触情况的平均分数之间的差异。
修读了两门全球健康课程的学生（两年均为大二学生）报告的与全球健康相关的知识和兴趣高于大一学生（p <.01）；一年后这些分数未能保持。
这两门课程可能提高了学生的全球健康能力。可能需要在后续课程中强化知识，以进一步提升全球健康能力。
