Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to examine the value generated by nursing practices in each hospital ward, as perceived by nurses. It aimed to identify and understand the various aspects of value, explore potential shared value where they overlap, and gather insights for expanding value and shared value. The nurses' narratives encompassed not only their perspectives on patient care but also their views on hospital management, effective practices in other departments and facilities, and the wider reach of those practices. Multiple perspectives were considered for an individual practice. Nurses had the opportunity to think about the potential outcomes and achievements of their practice across various contexts, such as patient outcomes, discussions with colleagues, and post-discharge reports. The findings revealed that practices within each department exhibited multiple and diverse values that could overlap and coexist concurrently. Dialogue with others may broaden the perspective of perceived value.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では看護師が認識する各部署での看護実践の価値の多面性とそれらが同時に存在しうることを明らかにした。また、部署内外での患者や実践に関する対話の機会が価値認識の拡大に寄与する可能性を示した。この結果は、部署での看護実践の価値の構成を示すとともに、自部署の実践の価値や、看護師の価値認識の拡大に向けたマネジメントの検討に活用できる。
