Abstract

Purpose: This study compared visiting nursing services of Denmark, Sweden, Japan, and the United States to provide baseline data for the development of models for community care nursing services in South Korea. Methods: A review of the literature was performed that include journal articles, government reports, institutional reports, and national/international statistics. Site visits were performed to explore the visiting nursing services of Denmark. Results: Government centered visiting nursing services were provided in Denmark and Sweden mostly by public organizations, while private services prevailed in the United States and Japan. Nursing services included case management or care coordination services, while nurse practitioners or nurse specialists provided visiting nursing services in all of the four countries and the services were provided 24 hour a day. Conclusions: Based on the review of visiting nursing services in foreign countries, the development of models is needed to provide integrated visiting nursing services in Korea that encompass home care nursing, visiting nursing, and visiting health care services.
