Outline of Final Research Achievements

[Objective] To examine nursing skill onomatopoeias (hereafter referred to as onomatopoeias) used by nursing teachers in instruction of nursing skills and to construct a database that will be useful for improvement of skills instruction. [Methods] A questionnaire survey for nursing teachers and a web-based questionnaire survey for young people (age 19-21) were conducted. [Results] The most commonly used onomatopoeia by nursing teachers was “soh”(gently), followed by “pittari”(fitting perfectly) and “suh”. The young people’s images of actions for these onomatopoeias were the same as those of the nursing teachers. A total of 10,531 collected onomatopoeic words were categorized as “quickness”, “accuracy” and “instantaneousness”.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、看護教員が技術指導に使用しているナーシングスキルオノマトペの特徴を明らかにすることができ、ナーシングスキルオノマトペのデータベースの一部を構築することができた。このデータベースは、看護技術の指導経験の浅い教員が、効果的な技術指導を実施することに役立ち、看護教員の技術指導力の質向上に貢献できる。
