| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many terminal cancer patients wish to spend their final days in their familiar homes. However, discharge support for family caregivers may be inadequate. Palliative Care Unit Nurses (PCUNs) are aware of the need to provide discharge support to the families of terminally ill cancer patients, but we felt it necessary to confirm the reality that despite this awareness, adequate support is not being provided. Therefore, we conducted a self-administered questionnaire survey of 1,227 PCUNs.
The results of an exploratory factor analysis on the support needed for family caregivers were classified into four factors. The results of this study suggest facilitators for PCUNs to provide more comprehensive discharge support to family caregivers.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の主な目的は、日本の緩和ケア病棟看護師が、終末期がん患者の退院に向けて家族介護者に必要だと考える支援と、実際に提供している支援との間にどの程度の乖離があるのかを明らかにし、効果的な退院支援プログラムを開発することにある。
これにより、日本の終末期がん患者の家族介護者支援の現状をより深く理解し、今後の退院支援体制改善に貢献できると考える。
