Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined the differences between cognition of the importance and self-assessment of the status of implementation regarding the support activity items for multiple pregnancy as a factor related to ethical issues. There were less than 20% of public health nurses who evaluated themselves as “fairly conducted” on each status of implementation while 40% of public health nurses recognized more than half of items as “very important”. Attributes of public health nurses relevant to recognition of the importance were [Participation in workshops to support parenting after multiple birth], [The number of years for education of public health nurse], [Years of experience as public health nurse]. This was a result that we would be able to anticipate the effectiveness of continuing education regardless of academic background or years of experience.
