Purpose: This study explored the comprehensive experiences of nurses who volunteered for medical services at Saemangeum Jamboree using a systematic qualitative Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis framework. Methods: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 nurses between March and October 2024. The collected data were analyzed using a conventional content analysis methodology with ATLAS.ti 6.2 software. Subsequently, the derived subcategories were systematically organized and classified within a SWOT matrix framework to provide structured insights into the experiences of the volunteer nursing. Results: The comprehensive analysis yielded 125 meaningful codes, which were systematically categorized into 23 distinct sub-themes and ultimately structured into 14 overarching themes within the SWOT matrix framework. The identified strengths included nursing expertise and clinical competency, building therapeutic trust through patient-centered care, and creative problem-solving in crisis situations. The identified weaknesses included experiencing physical and emotional exhaustion, language barriers due to limited foreign language proficiency, and initial resource constraints that compromised the quality of care. The opportunities identified included patient thankfulness reinforcing commitment to duty and guardians, valuable experience in cross-disciplinary collaboration highlighting the importance of teamwork, and increased sponsorship resources throughout the event progression. The identified threats encompassed a lack of response from administrative organization, absence of standardized nursing protocols or manuals, occurrence of the coronavirus disease 2019, ambiguity in roles and responsibility, and insufficient measures to ensure physical safety in the service area. Conclusion: The comprehensive findings of this study suggest that maximizing the effectiveness of nurse volunteers and enhancing volunteer satisfaction in future large-scale international events requires strengthened pre-event training programs, establishment of a systematic resource management system, and development of comprehensive response protocols for various emergency situations. This study provides essential foundational data and practical insights for planning and operating medical volunteer programs at similar international events and contributes valuable knowledge to the field of disaster nursing and humanitarian healthcare delivery.

Ahn June-hui. 2016. “Language socialization of politeness in a Korean preschool”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 24(1). 175~211. This paper examines language socialization practices regarding politeness in a Korean preschool. In particular, it analyzes linguistic and paralinguistic features of politeness that teachers emphasize in their everyday discourses with children, and examines the ways that children reproduce or reconstruct these features and other linguistic resources in their peer talk. The analysis of teacher-children discourses shows that teachers emphasize pragmatic features of politeness such as polite forms of request, politeness routines, soft voices, high pitch, and rising intonations while not correcting inappropriate and ungrammatical uses of honorifics. Moreover, the analysis of children's peer talk demonstrates that children strategically use various linguistic and paralinguistic features of politeness to address goals of their culture-laden peer worlds such as pursuit of power and authority, alliance formation, or evasion of adult control. These findings are discussed in relations to language socialization research, studies on Korean politeness, and research on peer talk.

본 연구진에서 이번에 개발한 '팔도강산2'는 노인용 기능성게임으로서 2011년에 개발한 '팔도강산1'(팔걸이와 발판을 이용하여 2인이 걷는 PC 운동게임)의 후속 작이며 걷기운동에 노인들의 인지, 신체, 심리 기능을 추가한 게임이다. 현대생활에서의 장보기(몰워킹)를 게임 속에서 구현하였으며, 70년대의 재래시장을 배경으로 기억한 물품을 사오는 장보기 걷기 운동 게임이다. 유사한 맥락으로 걷기가 어려운 노인과 장애인용으로 미니게임도 2종 개발하였다. 아산 노인종합복지관에서 65세이상 고령자 219명을 대상으로 실험하여 효과성을 테스트한 결과 게임 플레이가 기억력, 집중력, 활력도에 긍정적인 효과가 있다고 평가되었다.
