Outline of Final Research Achievements

The eight core categories of ``conceptual thinking and analytical thinking that lead to pathological judgment'' and the seven core categories of ``capacity development to cultivate nursing practical abilities'' were extracted. In ``conceptual thinking and analytical thinking that lead to pathological judgments,'' we consciously set standards to differentiate between normal and abnormal physical conditions, and conducted thorough verification methods to clarify complex nursing phenomena. demonstrated the ability to use
In addition, in ``competency development to cultivate nursing practical abilities,'' the aim is to acquire insight that will lead to improving the quality of life of patients receiving treatment, to intentionally make judgments based on ethical standards, and to develop comprehensive and holistic approaches to nursing patients.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本において高齢化が進行しがん患者数の罹患率や死亡率が増加する中で、高齢がん患者が増加することを懸念されている。本研究の目的は、地域におけるがん患者の症状コントロールが困難とされる疼痛や苦痛症状、精神的な苦痛や急変症状に対して、特定行為研修が修了した訪問看護師がどのような卓越した思考能力や行動特性が内在されているのかを明らかになり、終末期がん患者の病態変化をやむを得ないと捉えるのではなく、在宅で終末期がん患者の病態を踏まえながらも本質を見抜ける特定行為研修を修了した訪問看護師のコンピテンシーを着手し、今後少子高齢化社会の課題に向けての一助とする。
