Outline of Final Research Achievements

Caring, also known as the essence of nursing, is considered important in basic nursing education. However, caring encompasses emotional aspects that can be influenced by students' views on nursing and ethics. Thus, the educational methods for teaching caring have traditionally focused on clinical practice, and teaching caring in lectures has not been extensively studied.

This study focuses on educational methods in the field of education, where emotional education has been prioritized. It examines the potential application of emotional education to the teaching of caring in basic nursing education. By incorporating moral education and Narrative Based Medicine, specific lesson plans for teaching caring through lectures and exercises have been developed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでケアリングを学ぶのは実習とされてきた。実習は実際の対象者と学生が関わる中で、ケアしケアされる関係性を構築できることでケアリングの学びが達成されるためである。しかし、近年の入院期間の短縮化や学生の状況など学びに影響する要因が多い実習では、学生が必ずしもケアリングを学ぶことができるのか担保できない現状にある。
そこで、本研究では、授業者の環境・状況要因を調整でき、全ての学生が学びの機会が保てる学内で行われる講義、演習で活用できるNarrative Based Medicineを基盤としたケアリング教育の方法を構築できたことは、基礎看護学教育、臨床看護においても重要な意義をもつと考える。
