Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

優れた助産師の育成においては、優れた臨床指導実践能力を有する助産師、すなわち、助産を教えることに長けた指導者の存在意義は大きい。本研究成果は、臨床の場においてこれまで指導を受けていた経験のある立場から、”よい指導者”といえる助産師の特徴や、助産師が”優れた指導者”と評価される際に不可欠な要素を明らかにし、系統的に示したものである。助産の実践の場においては、臨床経験3年目より指導者役割を担うことが多く、実践との両立の難しさも加わり、どのように臨床指導してよいか戸惑う若手指導者が多い。本研究成果は、臨床指導に戸惑う若手助産師に対して、その具体的実践方法などを示す基礎的資料を示すものといえる。
