Research Abstract	This study was a randomized controlled trial in which currently working visiting nurses were randomly assigned to one of the two groups ; the control group in which nurses would not have received any special support after training session and the experimental group in which nurses would have received support to utilize the knowledge and skills that had learned in the learning support program at their workplace. It was suggested that the support from others was effective to maintain motivation for the learning and to make use of knowledge and skills that acquired by the respiratory physical assessment training session in practice.
