Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

作成したプログラムおよび教材は、看護師および職場の担当者を対象とするが、関連職種などの人材育成にも応用できるものである。また、プログラムを用いた教育を受けた対象者は、個別ケースへの支援のスキルを身に着けるのみではなく、看護師の場合は医療機関の中での両立支援の教育・体制づくり、職場の担当者は職場内の社内体制・環境づくりなどの推進役となることができることを目標としている。さらには、医療機関及び職場の担当者が共にプログラムを受講することで相互の役割の理解が進み、協働できる仕組みづくりにつながることが期待できる。
