Outline of Research at the Start

39の有人島を有する沖縄県では、小離島勤務保健師の退職率(12.5%)は、全国(7.9%)や、沖縄県(6.0%)の約2倍である(H30年度)。小離島勤務保健師の在職期間は1~5年と短く、少数配置であり、現任教育の体制も十分ではないとの報告があることから、その人材確保や継続教育は課題である。
本研究の目的は、沖縄県内の小離島勤務保健師へのICTを活用した継続教育プログラムの開発である。その開発に向けて、小離島勤務保健師の業務内容や実施困難度、環境の特殊性に考慮した専門性と技術、継続教育の実施状況と内容、PCやネットワーク環境等の実態を調査し、結果をプログラムに反映させる。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to develop an ICT-based continuing education program for public health nurses working in municipalities of small remote islands (hereafter referred to as "small remote islands")
Research results: The study's findings were not just theoretical but also had practical applications.A conference was established to discuss continuing education for public health nurses on small remote islands, with the relevant local government public health nurses and universities in the prefecture as working members. This led to developing a career ladder for small remote islands, a continuing education program for public health nurses, and an OFF-JT program conducted by the universities. A survey on the continuing education program was conducted in 13 small remote island municipalities in Okinawa Prefecture, with responses received from 6 of them. The training program's content reflected the survey results, making them more relevant and effective.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で作成した小規模町村離島に勤務する保健師の継続教育プログラムは、これまでの先行研究等を基に小規模離島の保健師やその支援に携わっている者の意見を取り入れて作成した。そのため、離島の特殊性や保健師のネットワーク構築に配慮した内容のものとなっている。このプログラムは、小規模離島での人材育成に役立つだけでなく、保健師の早期離職の予防につながると考える。また、本研究で作成した自治体保健師の標準的なキャリアラダーの小規模離島版は、同じような環境にある国内の他の小規模町村離島やへき地でも活用できる。
