Because of the lack of guidelines and standardized protocols for end-of-life nursing care in intensive care units in Korea, many nurses have reported facing difficulties when providing care for patients. This study attempted to develop a standardized end-of-life nursing protocol for use in intensive care units. A draft of the end-of-life nursing care protocol was developed after a literature review. A Delphi survey was carried out twice with 30 experts, and the content validity ratio of the items was investigated. The draft end-of-life nursing care protocol was divided into 3 separate stages with 24 items: 8 initial end-of-life care assessment items, 5 ongoing end-of-life care items, and 11 post-end-of-life care items. The content validity ratios of the first and second rounds were 0. 33 or greater in each category, demonstrating the validity of the proposed draft as a standardized protocol. Furthermore, at the suggestion of the experts, an extra item was added in the last stage, resulting in 25 items. The results of this study are expected to help leading hospitals in South Korea outline the roles and range of tasks for end-of-life care in an intensive care unit and thereby resolve difficulties for nurses. Furthermore, this will improve the medical services that family members receive during end-of-life care.

“…Convergence refers to the degree to which the opinions of the Delphi panel converged; the closer it was to 0, the more appropriate it was. The agreement had a value close to 1 when the first quartile coefficient (Q1) and third quartile coefficient (Q3) were agreed upon [41].

Degree of convergence goodbreak= \frac{Q_{3} - Q_{2}}{2}, Degree of agreement goodbreak= \frac{Q_{3} - Q_{2}}{Md}

Recently, digital forensics has become increasingly important as it is used by investigation agencies, corporate, and private sector. To supplement the limitations of evidence capacity and be recognized in court, it is essential to establish an environment that ensures the integrity of the entire process ranging from collecting and analyzing to submitting digital evidence to court. In this study, common elements were extracted by comparing and analyzing ISO/IEC 17025, 27001 standards and Interpol and Council of Europe (CoE) guidelines to derive the necessary components for building a digital forensic laboratory. Subsequently, based on 21 digital forensic experts in the field, Delphi survey and verifications were conducted in three rounds. As a result, 40 components from seven areas were derived. The research results are based on the establishment, operation, management, and authentication of a digital forensics laboratory suitable for the domestic environment, with added credibility through collection of the opinions of 21 experts in the field of digital forensics in Korea. This study can be referred to in establishing digital forensic laboratories in national, public, and private digital forensic organizations as well as for employing as competency measurement criteria in courts to evaluate the reliability of the analysis results.

Purpose: This study aimed to reach a consensus among experts on the global health competencies for medical students in Korea.Methods: A global health competency model was developed to identify domains and competencies for medical education, and a three-round modified Delphi method was used to reach consensus among 21 experts on the essential global health competencies. The degree of convergence, degree of consensus, and content validity ratio of the model were used to reach a consensus.Results: A list of 52 competencies in 12 domains were identified according to a literature review. In the first-round Delphi survey, the global health competencies were refined to 30 competencies in eight domains. In the second round, the competencies were reduced to 24. In the final round, consensus was reached among the expert panel members, and the competencies were finalized. The global health competency domains for medical students include global burden of disease (three items), globalization of health and healthcare (five items), determinants of health (two items), healthcare in low-resource settings (two items), global health governance (three items), health as a human right (four items), cultural diversity and health (three items), and participation in global health activities (two items).Conclusion: The group of experts in global health achieved a consensus that 24 global health competencies in eight domains were essential for undergraduate medical education in Korea. The domains and competencies identified herein can be used to develop an undergraduate medical education curriculum in global health.
