Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

特別支援学校の教員は医療的ケアを必要とする児童・生徒の担当となることに不安を感じているが，適切な支援体制のもとで医療的ケアを必要とする児童・生徒の担当することが教員の不安を軽減させることが明らかとなった。そして，特別支援学校教員の医療機関との連携の希望は強いが，実際の連携は十分でないことが判明した。特別支援学校と近隣の医療機関の医師との直接交流できる研修会は，地域のおける教育と医療の連携を促進し，健康上の課題を抱える児童・生徒が安全に教育を受ける環境を構築することにつながる。
