Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Experts have predicted that infectious diseases such as the Coronavirus will reproduce continuously.
Therefore, it is necessary to expand the role of health educators in incorporating non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases.
Methods: The social prescription policy trends in the UK were reviewed, and a social prescribing case study was reviewed in Korea.
Results: In the current situation, health educators should be qualified to deliver accurate information about COVID-19. To this end, it will be needed to expand the scope and include jobs such as ‘Social Prescriber’ in the UK.
Conclusion: Health Promotion and Education should be institutionalized changing the current health center-oriented method to emulate the UK’s Social Prescribing system. Also, it is necessary to develop a ‘new health education program’ that includes strategies such as keeping social distance, tele counselling in a pandemic era and online distance learning for health education.
