Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study assessed issues related to and the current state of education that supports living to the end of life (hereafter, “living education”). A questionnaire survey of 206 nursing departments of universities and 472 3-year nursing schools was conducted. A total of 52 (27.5%) nursing departments and 137 (72.5%) nursing schools responded.
Living education was taught by faculty as an independent subject at nursing departments. At many nursing schools, it was not an independent subject, but classes involved the use of specialists. The most common educational content pertained to definition/concept and nursing of physical symptoms. In terms of educational methods, at universities, lectures by faculty, case studies, GW, videos, and seminars were most common. At nursing schools, lectures by specialists and talks were most common. Our findings suggest the need for faculty to work together and the need to establish mechanisms.
