Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、まず家族看護の実践能力とは何かを学術的に明らかにし、その中でもジェネラリストがもつべき家族看護の実践能力について検討し、その能力を養うためのeラーニングツールを開発した。ジェネラリストがもつべき家族看護の実践能力が明らかになることで、基礎教育で教授するべき範囲が明確になったことは学術的意義があると考える．また、その能力を現認教育でも使用できるツールとしてeラーニングを用いた教育プログラムを開発した。この教育プログラムを活用することで、どこからでも誰でも学習できる環境が提供されることは看護師の家族看護実践能力のボトムアップに貢献できると考える。
