Outline of Final Research Achievements

The philosophy of Kampo medicine has a body of knowledge that is effective for maintaining the health of women and the elderly. However, it is not in basic nursing education, and there are very few nurses studying Kampo medicine. Therefore, we extracted the contents of Kampo medicine for nurses to learn and utilize, and developed educating programs that nursing students can learn enthusiastically. The teaching materials were made available online, and both the degree of achievement of the tasks and the evaluation of the students were good. The teaching material ver.3 was completed after quality improvement, such as receiving evaluations from Kampo specialists, nurses who learned Kampo medicine, and a acupuncturist.
The content of the teaching materials was to understand the basics of "Philosophy of Kampo medicine", "Ki-Blood water", "Four examinations", and "Care", and then to assess the individual constitution and think richly of care methods.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

医師は漢方医学を学ぶのに対し看護師は学ぶ機会が極めて少ない。漢方医学では未病を扱い暮らしの中の養生を示すなどの特徴から、超高齢社会における地域包括ケアに寄与すると考えられるため、人々の暮らしの中で看護を提供する者たちが漢方医学を学ぶ意義は大きい。看護学生や看護実践家が漢方医学を学ぶための系統的な教育プログラムとしては初めての試みとして今後の発展につながると考える。
