Outline of Final Research Achievements

Incurable neurological diseases are progressive diseases resulting in the impairment of autonomous movement and activity. For patients with such diseases, the support of others is essential for establishing their own daily lives. The aim of this study was to extract characteristics of nursing judgment and care, focusing on “exercise and rest”, both of which are inherently connected to vital activities, and group-focus interviews were conducted with nurses with more than half a year of experience caring for patients with incurable neurological diseases.
