Outline of Final Research Achievements	This research aimed to develop a cross-disciplinary health humanities (HH) education programme, and three new HH-related courses have been offered at the Graduate School of Nursing, St. Luke's International University since 2023. Two of those courses, Introduction to HH I and II, reflect the results of this research. In addition, with St. Luke's serving as a research base, an interdisciplinary HH lecture series, HH research and study meetings, and public lectures by three overseas guest researchers were held for the purpose of developing and promoting HH across disciplines for the first time in Japan. Research results have been published as articles in the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Health Humanities, Igaku Shoin's Journal of Nursing Research, the Bulletin of St. Luke's International University and other publications. Japan's first edited collection of HH research (co-authored) will also be published in 2024.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	患者中心の医療においてはEBM（Evidence Based Medicine）と両輪をなすNBM（Narrative Based Medicine）の実践を踏まえた全人的アプローチが不可欠である。対象を医療者全体に広げたこの新分野HHにより、幅広い関心と深い共感を持つ医療者の育成に加え、医療に関連する様々な研究領域においてEBMを補完する視点の涵養が可能となる。超高齢社会の日本では、HH教育プログラムの開発と実施が新たなシステムや価値の創造を促進する可能性を持つ。今後、HH実践を「社会的処方」として活用できれば人々の健康とウェルビーイングの向上につながり「地域共生社会」の実現に貢献しうる。
