초록

Objectives: This research was conducted to suggest a recommendation for the Korean credentialing
policy of health education specialist as the primary human resource in community health promotion
activities from the special group perspective of the Korean Society for Health Education and Promotion.
Methods: This research was conducted by the professional focus group discussion and descriptive
literature review on health education and promotion.
Results: This draft recommendation for Korean credentialing system development of health education
specialist was based on the four background reasons for modifying health promotion related acts, for
developing better policy of health education credentialing, for keeping the public and ethical responsibilities
as the competitive professional society, and for improving health promotion activities in Korea. Theoretical
background of the four reasons was Ottawa Charter. We classified three credentialing levels of health
education specialist based on health education own competencies, coordiating competencies with
environmental factors, and research competencies. Furthermore, we developed 10 major roles and categorized
53 sub-roles based on these competencies above.
We recommended 10 classes required to take to become Health Education Specialist. These 10
classes were developed based on the credentialing systems in the United States and Japan. These 10 classes
were about health education and promotion methods and strategies not health intervention topics. We also
built the draft plan for continuing education to keep KCHES based on the NCHEC in the United States.
Conclusions: Further research should be conducted to build better health education specialist
credentialing systems modifing current communtiy-based health promotion activities in terms of modifying
public regulation, developing KCHEC examination system, protecting job security both in public and private
sectors, and creating professionalism in KCHEC.
