In the Division of Nursing, we aim to foster human resources who can contribute to the construction of the Community-based Integrated Care System as a key person who connect health, medical care, and welfare through inter-professional work.
Characteristics of human resources to be trained
Human resources who have advanced knowledge and skills and can manage inter-professional work and collaboration with related organizations in community medicine
Human resources who seek new knowledge by academic methods related to medical care, eldercare and prevention in community medicine
Features of the major
Currently, medical care in Japan is at a major turning point toward the construction of Community-based Integrated Care System. We are moving from medical care that focuses on the treatment of illnesses toward “Supporting medical care” that focuses on the lives of patients and their families and supports the entire life and physical aspects. Also, we aim to not only recover from illness but also support maintenance and improvement of quality of life (QOL) while coexisting with illness. In order to guarantee "continuation of life with dignity in a familiar area", it is necessary to smoothly circulate the cycle of health and treatment, so we need specialized knowledge and skills for support for medical care life.
Based on these facts, in the [specialized subjects], we set up five areas of medical treatment support and nursing management at each life stage, "Maternal and Child Medical Treatment Support Area", "Adult / Elderly Medical Treatment Support Area", "Community Mental Medical Treatment Support Area", "Home Medical Care Support Area" and “Nursing Management Area”. Students select one of these five areas and write thesis, but are required to look broadly outside the specialized area because it is important to understand Team Medical Care for fostering human resources who can contribute to Community-based Integrated Care System. Therefore, in this major, under the guidance of an academic advisor, at least one subject from other specialized fields will be taken as an elective compulsory subject.
The characteristics of learning in each area are as follows.
"Maternal and Child Medical Treatment Support Area" is an area where you can learn about the utilization of social resources so that you can grasp the health problems of maternal and child from the pregnancy period and lead to childbirth and childcare with safe and secure.
"Adult / Elderly Medical Treatment Support Area" is area where you can learn about development of continuous high-quality nursing practice while collaborating with multiple occupations and institutions in order to deal with issues such as the elderly with dementia and long-term care, the need for frailty prevention, and end-of-life care.
"Community Mental Medical Treatment Support Area" is area where you can learn about nursing to support people with mental problems in collaboration with multiple occupations so that they can live one's life with peace of mind as members of the community.
"Home Medical Care Support Area" is an area where you can learn about the team approach, which link between home medical care and clinical pathology, and understand the functions and roles of home medical care in The Integrated Community Care System.
"Nursing Management Area" is area where you can learn about management such as instruction, cooperation with related occupations and institutions, and coordination so that we can provide high-quality care to caregivers as a member of Team Medical Care in the community, especially in medical care, eldercare, life support, and prevention.
