Participants included 275 nurses with over 3 years of clinical experience, categorized into hospital and community-based. Convenience sampling was used, and data were collected between January 9 and February 3, 2025. Descriptive statistics and the paired t-test were conducted using IBM SPSS 26.0. Educational needs were analyzed using the Borich Needs Assessment and the Locus for Focus model.Results: Among participants, 75.6% had received education on work-related laws, and 79.3% of those participants received related education during their undergraduate studies. However, 32.4% of nurses reported experiencing practice related difficulties due to insufficient legal knowledge, particularly related to unclear legal responsibilities and ambiguity in the scope of practice. High educational needs were identified for the Nursing Act and the Labor Standards Act across all workplaces. Hospital nurses emphasized the Hospice and Palliative Care Act and Emergency Medical Services Act, while community-based nurses prioritized the Mental Health Welfare Act, Elderly Welfare Act, and Dementia Management Act.Conclusion: Nurses\u2019 legal education needs are related to practical applications and their capability to respond appropriately to legal requirements, and these needs vary depending on their work environment and social changes. These findings underscore the necessity of restructuring legal education curricula to improve practical relevance and support nurses\u2019 rights, providing a basis for developing workplace-specific legal education programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4040\/jkan.25049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,21]],"date-time":"2025-08-21T04:18:32Z","timestamp":1755749912000},"page":"400-412","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4040\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparison
