Abstract
Despite the increasing demand for global health education, relatively few global health courses currently are offered in Korea. This mixed-methods study examined the need for global health competency and global health education experience for nursing students. A survey of 208 nursing students was conducted from May 2020 to August 2020, and three focus groups were conducted with 12 nursing students. The average score of global health nursing competencies was 2.8 ± 0.7 on a scale ranging from 1 to 4. Female, higher academic achievement, fluent English, and higher global health education experience had a significant effect on global health competency. The most influential factor was more experience with global health education. Nursing students' perceptions and educational needs related to global health education were classified into four subthemes. The development of global health education programs for nursing students is needed. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(2):75-82.].
