Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a living lab program to solve the musculoskeletal health problems of rural women and analyze its effects. Methods: The subjects included eight rural women and this study involved pretest and posttest designs for a single group. The program ran from July to August 2020 and consisted of one in-person training session and three weeks of management. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated by the change in the degree of pain experienced in the wrists, shoulders, and back, along with the general health status of the subjects. The Wilcoxon Sign-Rank test was used in the analysis. In addition, the program satisfaction was analyzed with five items based on the factors of the health belief model. Results: While the program seemed to have no significant impact on the health status of the subjects, all the participants did report reduced pain in their wrists, shoulders, and lower back. The 'sensitivity' and 'cue to action' metrics also increased with participation in the program. Conclusion: This program was effective in relieving some pain associated with the musculoskeletal problems in rural women. Therefore, such programs should be sustained and spread around community organizations

Purpose: This study was to investigate relationships among health promotion behavior, family resilience, marital communication, and successful aging of the new middle-aged living in rural areas. Methods: Data collection was conducted from May 1 to June 20, 2021, participants were 119 adults aged 50~69 living in rural areas. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS/WIN 23.0 program for descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. Results: As a result, factors influencing successful aging for the new middle-aged were avocation (β=-.27, p=.002.), family resilience (β=.24, p=.045), marital communication (β=.22, p=.023), gender (β=.19, p=.023), and the explanatory power of 31.0%. Conclusion: These results suggest that it is necessary to develop a program to strengthen personal avocation, family resilience, and marital communication.

Purpose: The study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of community health programs for local residents. Methods: This study was a one-group pretest-posttest study design. The subjects of the study were 259 residents in 26 villages of 13 primary health care posts located in G city. Data were collected using the questionnaire and analyzed using the paired t-test in SPSS 28.0. Results: As a result of performing the community health programs, prostate symptom scores improved in men, and stress and urgency urinary incontinence scores decreased in women. In addition, it was found that the degree of health-related knowledge increased among female subjects after the community health programs were provided. Conclusion: The community health programs were effective, and the effectiveness of the programs may differ according to gender. Therefore, when developing a program, it is necessary to consider a gender-sensitive approach that considers the difference between men and women.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe a school health teacher's experience working in a mountain village during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2021. Methods: The study used a case study method based on the school records and reports to the local office of education. Results: In T City, since the first COVID-19 case confirmed on March 8, 2020, as of May 17, 21, a total of 21 cases have occurred, including two third-year students of H Middle School. Since then, one additional case was confirmed on May 18, one more on May 25, and one more on May 27, resulting in a total of five confirmed cases. During this period, 42 students and 13 teachers were self-quarantined, all students and staff were tested for COVID-19 PCR, and students received remote classes. The role of school health teacher can be described through three categories: "collaborator", "care coordinator", and "educator". The school health teacher did a lot of work until the situation came to an end, successfully fulfilling these three roles. Conclusion: Some suggestions were made to prepare a more effective communicable disease response system suitable for public health infrastructure of non-urban area.

Purpose: This case report was attempted to present the process of the end of life nursing care provided by the visiting nurse. Methods: The subject was a person who was decided the long-term care Grade 1 and received a visiting nursing service, and the service was terminated on the death, and then was selected as a case with the consent of his family. The data were collected through long-term care benefit provision records and interviews with the visiting nurse. The nursing process was presented by applying the Omaha System. Results: The subject had digestion-hydration problems and respiration problems in the physiological domain, and the problems of role change, caretaking/parenting, spirituality, and grief in the psychosocial domain were identified. Depending on the problem, the end of life nursing care was provided to the subject and family members through activities on physical symptoms/signs, dietary management, end-life care, and coping skills. Conclusion: We expect that if the visiting nurse provides anticipatory guidance on the death process, the subject will be able to prepare for death comfortably with the family at home instead of vague fear of death.
