Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, 1) the current status of employment training for Indonesian nurse candidates by EPA, and 2) the situation of basic nursing education in Indonesia, and the status of continuing education and training after graduation at a hospital. The purpose of this project is to develop a working training model that promotes the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to nursing care in Japan and the improvement of the Japanese language skills necessary for working through OJT. The training plans prepared by the host facility did not have the level of difficulty according to the specificities and the level of the candidates, and focused only on national exam learning. In addition, the employment of the candidates was mainly in collaboration with Japanese nursing assistants, and there was little opportunity to learn nursing practice from nurses.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

EPAにより来日したインドネシア人看護師候補者の看護補助者という立場での就労期間は、国家試験の合格をめざすと同時に、日本で看護師になるための重要な準備期間である。本研究成果は、この期間のより効果的な就労研修のあり方に示唆を与えるものであり、候補者の日本の職場への適応、看護師としての就労継続、キャリア発達、日本における看護ケアの学習と実践の向上につながる。
