1. Adult Health Nursing

We understand the characteristics of people and their families in each adult stage, trends and measures in adult health, the characteristics of adult living conditions and the effects of lifestyle-related lifestyles on health, and learn health support.

2. Chronic care Nursing

Chronic nursing is assistance for subjects who continue to receive medical treatment for a long period of time with changes in their medical condition. Based on theory, students will learn how to understand and help people who live with health problems, especially in adulthood.

3. Practicum in Chronic Care Nursing

In this course, students will learn the basic abilities to maintain and improve self-care for adults and elderly subjects with chronic health problems and their families.

     We have a meeting to think about how to live healthy with people who sympathize with the feelings of "I understand but can't do it" and "I can't get motivated" regardless of the presence or absence of illness. We are planning a meeting to support the health behavior of local residents toward polypharmacy, such as how to get prescription drugs, how to store them, and how to learn how to use them properly.
