Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed and evaluated a learning program to enhance self-care skills of high-risk patients at home． For this purpose, we extracted the learning objectives and contents that would be the core of the learning program from both narratives about disaster nursing practical activities of the home visiting nurses and the disaster experiences of the patients and their families. In addition, we examined the learning strategies that enable the patients and their families, the home visiting nurses to learn each other using these learning objectives and contents. Furthermore, we modeled basic frameworks for disaster preparedness for patients and families in home care so that such learning could be put into practice.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

地域完結型の保健医療システムへのパラダイムシフトが進むなかで、頻発する大規模災害や想定される大規模災害に的確に対応し、在宅療養者の生命を守り、万が一被災しても生活の再構築に向けて療養者・家族が取り組めるように必要な療養者・家族の災害への備えを学ぶ学習プログラムの中核となる学習目標と学習内容を抽出することができた。また、そうした学びを実施化するための基本的な枠組みをモデル化するなど未確立な在宅災害看護学の構築を進めるための貴重な学術的知見を得た。
