<Home Care Nursing>
Patients for home care nursing include people who are ill, or have problems
in daily life, and people at high risk for poor health across the lifespan,
from children to the elderly, and their families.
Understanding home care systems in Japan and abroad, students learn how
to develop creative research and apply it in practice related to assessment,
care planning, care provision methods, practice skills, team care management,
care system development, utilization of social resources, evaluation of
care outcomes and cost control.
This course of study prepares clinical-oriented international and multidisciplinary research leaders who can
conduct research projects by themselves and present their results at domestic
or international academic conferences and in scientific journals.
