Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to develop a functional nursing network to support the prevention of child abuse and the prevention of recurrence. In order to create a problem-solving nursing net, we conducted a survey of public health nurses in charge of maternal and child health at prefectural public health centers and municipalities nationwide in order to verify the effectiveness of the "Interprofessional Support Network for Nurses to Support High-Risk Children" proposed in the 2018 Scientific Research Institute. As a result, a questionnaire survey was conducted for public health nurses and midwives at the Comprehensive Support Center for Child-Rearing Generations in the region to solve the problem. As a result, although there are issues such as coordination due to a shortage of manpower, it became clear that seamless maternal and child health measures are being taken, and that the "Interprofessional Support Network for Nurses to Support High-Risk Children" is functional.
