Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

公衆衛生活動の普及が強く望まれているモンゴル国において、看護基礎教育における公衆衛生看護教育の現状を確認したことは意義があるが、コロナ禍の医療従事者の多忙や研究者が渡航できないことに影響され、看護師への研修実施などで研究内容を深化することは叶わなかった。一方で保健ソーシャルワーカーと呼ばれるモンゴル国の公衆衛生専門家による公衆衛生の良好実践を確認できた。今後、保健医療従事者の連携により実用性の高い活動方法方法の効果を検証できれば、社会に貢献できると考えている。
