Research Abstract |
In terms of structural issues in nursing professionals training, no clear factors were extracted from the influence of differences in the training curriculum according to the present study. However, there were differences in the quality and contents of such a curriculum demanded from actual medical settings, indicating that the transition from the training curriculum to the work world is not effectively interlocked. Also in the process of the interviews, it was clearly identified that there was a marked decline in the sense of accomplishment among many of the nurses. It is presumed that there are rather few professions among many existing today where one is filled with the sense of accomplishment and feels it worth doing the work. However, nurses are a group of trained professionals with a high level of specialization. Such a group of people with specialized profession is experiencing loss of sense of accomplishment due to the gap between their training and the actual work setting. Whether this phenomenon is normal or not is a subject worth doing substantial examination in the near future. Other than this, it was found here and there that the nurses did not have future prospects of self-growth in relation to the cases and profession where they worry about the differences between nursing and long-term care. This may call for a system where work continuation and career improvement are supported, such as on the job training and promotion, stimulating work and labor motivation. The nursing training curriculum can be regarded as a period of anticipatory professional socialization. It is suggested that by relating to how professional life that ensues should be established, studies must be done on how educational differences in the training curriculum influence professional socialization.
