Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to make clear the characters of visiting nurse's on the care and to build visiting nursing information network. We interviewed to 22 visiting nursing stations, including Tokyo area 9 stations, Touhoku area 5 stations, and Sapporo area 8 stations. From this interview, we made clear that visiting nurses made much account of the sharing information about how to care their patients. Basing this result, we devised contents of "web community", which aimed to communicate each other on the home and visiting nursing, and we set up our site on the Internet. 3,985 visited our site during 90 days. As the end, this study helped to build the web community on the Internet, which supported exchanging and supplying the information about home and visiting nursing between multi occupations. Moreover, this study made clear that visiting nurses used this site to share and get more information, and that this site became the learning field for refreshing the knowledge about caring patients.
