Outline of Final Research Achievements	We developed an educational method that introduced "assessment-nursing skill integrated simulation" to improve abilities of nursing practice in nursing students. The students who performed this simulation assessed the patient's subjective data and symptoms, and provided care to alleviate the symptoms and to encourage the physical independence. On the other hand, the students could not properly assess the pathological condition, and were unable to provide care due to immature nursing skills. Nursing students are expected to acquire nursing skills and improve their abilities of critical thinking by repeating "assessment-nursing skill integrated simulation".
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究で開発した「アセスメント－看護技術統合型シミュレーション」は、臨地で行われる実習状況を想起・再現してケアやアセスメントに関する複数の課題を遂行する学習として、看護技術の初期学習段階で授業に導入することが有効であると考える。また、従来の基本技能の習得に重点を置く看護技術教育と比較して、「アセスメント－看護技術統合型シミュレーション」でアセスメントと看護技術を統合する訓練を繰り返すことによって、学生自身が実践を振り返り自己評価でき、判断力、思考力、観察力といった看護実践能力の向上に寄与する。
