ABSTRACT

This study conducted a scoping review of South Korean academic articles published between 2015 and 2024 to analyze the educational needs of care workers and provide direction for future research and practice. Using Arksey and O’Malley’s five-stage methodological framework for scoping reviews, a total of 19 studies were included in the final analysis. The general characteristics of the literature were analyzed based on publication type, yearly distribution, research methods, and study regions. The educational needs of care workers were analyzed based on the content of standardized care worker training textbooks and instructional design models. The annual distribution indicated that 47.4% of studies were conducted between 2015 and 2019, and 52.6% between 2020 and 2024, showing a relatively even spread across the two periods. The most frequently studied educational needs were emergency response and infection control, followed by dementia care, elderly rights and protection, end-of-life care, and the protection of care workers' rights. Educational needs based on instructional design models included studies on the demand for theoretical and practical content that enables real-world application, experienced and specialized instructors with professional expertise, and online education platforms that facilitate repetitive and context-driven learning. Future research is needed to develop and investigate specific, practical educational content tailored to high-priority areas of care workers' educational needs, delivered by experienced instructors, and supported by realistic online training programs.
