Outline of Final Research Achievements

Seven home-visiting nurses in their 60s or older who have been providing end-of-life care for many years were asked to share their experiences about how they became involved in end-of-life care at home and their practice and care.
First, in order to clarify how home-visiting nurses in the second stage practice and continue end-of-life care at home, their reasons for continuing, the care they provide, and what supports their continuation, the narratives will be analyzed qualitatively and phenomenologically, thus revealing the structure of the real experiences of each visiting nurse. Currently, the research results have not yet been reported at academic conferences or published in academic articles. They will be reported and presented on future occasions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

少子高齢社会、人口減少社会への対応として地域包括ケアが推し進められている中、生涯現役時代の雇用改革として65歳以上の継続雇用年齢の引き上げなど、働き方改革に向けた取り組みが推し進められている。在宅看取りのケアの充実のために、長年生きがいを持ち、在宅看取りを継続してきた訪問看護師の存在は今後ますます重要となる。訪問看護師のセカンドステージに至るプロセス、職業人生を生きる意味、ケアの実践知と活用について、明らかにされた研究は見られない。在宅看取りへのキャリア移行、継続要因について明らかとなり、在宅看取りの実践の継続を支える環境整備や訪問看護師の多様な働き方改革が明確になるという意義がある。
