Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS, 메르스 in Korean) is an emerging deadly viral respiratory disease with no treatment. This study applied a triangulation approach of quantitative structure and content mining techniques while incorporating qualitative approaches guided by domain experts, to understand #MERS and #메르스 tweets. This study sought to gain insights about culturally-appropriate nursing activities for an emerging global acute disease management.

Abstract

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS, 메르스 in Korean) is an emerging deadly viral respiratory disease with no treatment. This study applied a triangulation approach of quantitative structure and content mining techniques while incorporating qualitative approaches guided by domain experts, to understand #MERS and #메르스 tweets. This study sought to gain insights about culturally-appropriate nursing activities for an emerging global acute disease management.
