2020
: With the outbreak of COVID-19, maintaining the healthcare system is a crucial issue.

Public health nurses (PHNs) working in public health centers in prefectures and designated centers in cities or core cities, play a critical role in controlling COVID-19 (Yoshioka-Maeda, Honda, Iwasaki-Motegi, 2020). Providing care for COVID-19 patients, their families, and the community, the workload of PHNs has been reaching the maximum limit.
