Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the core job roles of occupational health nurses and propose directions for improving undergraduate occupational health nursing education. Methods: As part of a qualitative descriptive study, a literature review and in-depth interviews were conducted with five occupational health nurses with over 20 years of experience. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify key job domains and educational implications. Results: The literature review identified nine core job domains for occupational health nurses. Expert interviews revealed three key areas that require emphasis in undergraduate education: workplace assessment and hazard identification, nurses' unique clinical health management competencies, and responsiveness to current laws and field issues. By integrating these findings, nine essential job domains for undergraduate occupational health nursing education were derived, emphasizing health management competencies that are uniquely performed by nurses and workplace assessment abilities that new occupational health nurses find most challenging in practice. Conclusion: This study suggests that undergraduate occupational health nursing education should be restructured to emphasize health management competencies and workplace assessment abilities, without neglecting the balanced coverage of other essential job domains. Additionally, case-based learning, simulation-based education, and integrated interdisciplinary approaches were identified by expert participants as supplementary considerations for enhancing the effectiveness of occupational health nursing education with limited educational resources.
