Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

外来看護師が慢性疾患をもつ子どもと家族のニーズを捉えるための具体的な方策については明らかになっておらず，本研究で外来看護師への教育支援プログラムを示すことにより，外来看護の質の向上につながると考えられる．本研究に参加した外来看護師は，小児看護専門看護師のモデル事例を用いた講義や他施設の看護師とのディスカッションにより，実践的な視点から学びを深めることにつながっていた．本研究で行ったプログラムの講義部分を、全国の地域医療支援病院の看護師向けに公開することにより，外来看護師への教育支援に活用してもらえることが期待される．
