Outline of Final Research Achievements

Medical facilities are prone to have odors peculiar to diseases or resulting from a range of treatments, and these odors play a role in lowering the quality of life of in-patients. However, measures nurses take to alleviate odors of patients are a sensitive issue in the relationship with patients, and this has delayed the research into odor control in Japan compared to Europe and the USA.
This study is based on a questionnaire survey to identify the awareness of odors among nurses and determine details of the situation around measures to deal with odors, to contribute to a more comfortable care environment from the viewpoint of nursing science. Further, we measured odors in medical facilities focusing on lavatories, and stoma clinics based on the results of the survey. We collected basic data for a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the odors determined at the measurement sites and provide details of the problems with dealing with the odors at the medical facilities.
