| Research Abstract |
1. Effects of clinical practice on the hospital
The results from an interview of nurses and university faculty members of this university and other practical training facilities revealed characteristics of positive effects and issues for letting students grasp the essence of nursing through clinical practice.
2. The relationship between the hospital and the university
The analysis of the interview and self-assessment for the collaborative research conducted by our faculty members showed positive results in improving practical nursing training as well as introduction of a practical component in coursework. The positive effect was also confirmed in workshops for nurses, indicating a need for continuous support.
3. Need for lifelong learning support for nurses
A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to 12,501 nurses working in Gifu, Japan and 7,952 responses were collected. The results showed a high rate of nurses who expected to use the university library, and a need for powerful PR for collaborative research.
4. Setting up a model and system for social contributions within the university
The efficacy of a video conference system, which is a method to enhance collaboration with the hospital, was proved by its trial run at the research guidance for graduate students. For nursing workshops, a local server developed by the university was used to carry out trial discussions via an electronic bulletin board system.
5. Organizations and activities that facilitate social contributions by universities in and out of Japan
A study on the current status and issues of social contributions by public universities in Japan and Australia verified the importance of the assessment and announcing of such activities, the collaboration of social contributions and educational activities, and support for employment opportunities and lifelong learning for graduating students.
