Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop a program to support the practical capability-building of nurses who work in scenarios that involve critical care. We selected nurses who had started working in the critical care area immediately after graduating, and were now in their second year of work. Our support program to foster nursing practice capability comprised three monthly sessions consisting of a combination of group reflection and simulation, each lasting for a day.
The program adopted in the study provided 1) an opportunity for nurses to confirm the basis of their own clinical judgments by reviewing the knowledge and methods they had acquired; and 2) a space for shared learning represented by vicarious experiences generated by talking with each other.
