- Purpose
This study aimed to identify factors influencing subjective health status among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model.
Methods
This study analyzed secondary data from the 2021 Survey on the Status and Needs of Individuals with SCI conducted by the Korea Spinal Cord Injury Association. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted in four steps. Independent variables included sociodemographic factors, satisfaction with medical services (environmental factor), the need for weight control, the need for nutritional education, the need for dietary management, and disability acceptance (personal factors) along with exercise and activity of daily living (activity and participation factors). These factors were added sequentially at each step based on the ICF model.
Results
A total of 513 participants were analyzed in this study, with an average subjective health status of 5.51±2.39. Higher satisfaction with medical services (β=.27, p<.001), frequent exercise (β=.19, p=.008), and a greater level of activities of daily living (β=.02, p<.001) were significantly associated with improved subjective health status. Conversely, a lower need for nutritional education (β=-.25, p=.042) was negatively associated.
Conclusion
This study highlighted satisfaction with medical services, nutrition education needs, exercise frequency, and activities of daily living as important factors. These findings provide insight into how the health status of individuals with SCI can be enhanced through targeted interventions and support from healthcare providers.

- Purpose
A care coordinator is an emerging nursing professional role in South Korea. The purpose of this study was to identify educational needs and priorities for care coordinators among nurses.
Methods An online survey was conducted on 661 current or retired nurses from January 30 to February 28, 2021. A total of 17 essential competencies for care coordinators, recognized based on literature review, were used to analyze the educational needs. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired t-test, and one-way analysis of variance with SPSS 25.0. The educational needs analysis was conducted by using a paired t-test, the Borich Needs Assessment Model, and the Locus for Focus Model.
Results Five contents were identified as the first priorities for educational needs: ‘Health program planning and evaluation’, ‘Care planning’, ‘Coordinating community-based services’, ‘Case management’, and ‘Transitional care’. The second priorities for educational needs included 'Population health management' and'Welfare resource linkages via communicating with social workers’.
Conclusion The priority items derived from this study offer underpinning insights for the development of care coordination training program.
