Outline of Final Research Achievements

We explored current issues to help establish expertise in reproductive nursing. Our results revealed that the specialist-training course and multi-occupational collaboration are inadequate when compared with those of foreign countries. As characteristics of reproductive medicine, it emerged that nurses strongly realize the necessity of continued learning due to rapid advances in medicine. On the other hand, it was also shown that they have a dilemma in mastering the latest knowledge while maintaining work-life balance. Therefore, it was suggested that the workplace environment should be developed. It also became clear that it is necessary to assess the amount of medical knowledge possessed by nursing personnel and to evaluate using the results of their self-improvement, in order to see the maturing of reproductive nursing expertise. Therefore, the future task is to develop a bi-directional program of support for nursing personnel and voluntary activities.
