Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study focuses on caring activities in community, especially on the deconstruction of gendered forms of nurses’ careers and their articulation work required on the part of various social actors. In 2013-2014, a comparative survey on visiting nurses’work was conducted　in France and Japan.
In 2015, the session “Health professions and organization” was organized in the Congress ISA for discussing the question of articulation work by nurses and social workers. The social reconstruction in Fukushima brings new values to the fore, which accentuate developing social networks through the various social actors’ articulation work. This means developing new forms of family life and new kinds of local communities, by extending the existing social networks.
