| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to clarify the realities of nursery teachers working in medical-type residential facilities for children with severe physical and intellectual disabilities, a field that had not been previously investigated. It was initially assumed that these nursery teachers faced challenges due to working with children with disabilities, providing therapeutic support to highly medically dependent children without prior medical knowledge, and being in a profession with a small workforce. Through this research, many findings aligned with our initial assumptions. However, new insights emerged, including the necessity for mental preparedness in environments different from regular nurseries, the time required to accept their roles, and the internal struggles involved in developing new expertise. To facilitate the practical implementation of the educational program proposed based on this study, continued research is necessary.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
我が国の高い新生児救命率に伴い、重症心身障害をもつ子どもが増えている。在宅や施設で生活を送るこれらの子ども達がより質の高い生活を送れるよう、医療職のみならず、子どもの発達や生活を重視した保育職の関わりが重要である。しかし、保育士への教育体制は整っていない。今回の研究で提示した教育プログラムを実際に運用できるようにすることで、医療型重症心身障害児入所施設で勤務する保育士の労働環境の整備に繋げることができる。また、質の高い保育の提供は子どもたちの生活の質の向上に寄与するものと考える。
