Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to: 1) elucidate the implicit knowledge of neurodegenerative disease nurses in symptom nursing, 2) clarify the emotional experiences and management of neurodegenerative disease nurses, and 3) reconstruct a new reflection program to enhance symptom nursing by neurodegenerative disease nurses. As planned, qualitative descriptive methods were employed to elucidate the implicit knowledge and emotional experiences of neurodegenerative disease nurses. In terms of implicit knowledge, certain techniques and tricks specific to neurodegenerative disease nursing were identified. Regarding emotional experiences, aside from negative emotions, positive emotions such as fulfillment and coping behaviors were also revealed. The reflection program based on these findings provided an opportunity for nurses to reflect on themselves and their patients' situations, gaining insights for future practice.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

神経難病看護師のメンタルヘルスを含めた感情の問題は、内外を通じて課題となっている。また知識の蓄積が少ないことも看護師の実践を困難にしている。これらのことは、看護の質に直結する。特に、神経難病には根治治療がなく、患者の症状は時間とともに深刻化するために苦痛を伴い、その心理、社会的側面にも多大な影響があることから、看護の質は患者のQOLに影響する。この度、神経難病看護師の暗黙知や感情体験を踏まえてリフレクションプログラムを行うことで看護師の肯定的感情を喚起し、次の実践に向けた手掛かりを見出せたという成果は、学術的、社会的にみて意義があると考える。
