Research Abstract	Work engagement was used for measuring appropriateness of home visiting nursing agencies' management system. Article review showed that better collaboration among nurses and other care providers/clients might affect nurses' work engagement positively. We developed the Japanese version of Relational coordination scale, which could be used in order to measure good collaboration with others. Self-administered web survey was conducted for Japanese home visiting nurses. Better collaboration with physician, care managers and clients was positively associated with nurses' work engagement. Promoting better collaboration within care providers in community would contribute to improve managing system of home visiting nursing agencies.
