| Research Abstract |
The concept of “Human Security" has been developed by UNDP during 1980's and expanded by Japan through its international contribution. The concept seems not new but relating to basic human rights. However, it has been emphasizing security of each individual human rather than nation, due to increasing of familiar insecurity such as violence and poverty since after so-called “Complex Humanitarian Emergencies" spread all over the world, particularly in developing countries and newly emerged stats, during the last decade of last century.
It recalls the importance of protection from violence/dispute, free from lacks of appropriate health service, education, employment and to be secured for movement for whole individuals in the world.
Although health has been the most essential to human security, none of study has been conducted on the role of health/nursing professionals how to contribute to human security, until today.
In this study, we have conducted field studies in practical nursing and nursing education in a few countries in South-East Asia.
In Japan, there is no evidence of introduction of the concept of “Human Security" in to nursing education. Also, none of nursing education in SE Asia has class of it. As. in its vision for future nursing, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) says more active role of nurses in reduction of poverty and ill health, we strongly recommend to more than 160 of university/college level nursing institutions in Japan, to be more actively participating and disseminating “Human Security" through nursing care.
We intend to continue and expand the idea of the research through our international activities in Japanese Red Cross Kyushu International College of Nursing.
