Purpose: To clarify the training required to improve the ability of nurses for nursing practice and the reasons for it in Chiba.
Methods: A survey, mailed to the medical facilities in Chiba, was conducted in 2013. Among 2,214 responders, 249 nurses in middle- and small-scale hospitals, etc. were selected for analysis and they responded about the training they require and the reasons for needing it, and the descriptions of responses were categorized.
Results“: Dementia Care” was extracted from all facilities as the required training. The nurses wanted to receive the training because they were facing the problems mirroring the society. The term “Emergency Nursing” was extracted from the answers of nurses in hospitals and clinics, and“ Terminal Care and Deathbed Nursing” from that of nurses in home-visit nursing care stations and facilities covered by long-term care insurance, and the reason stated for requiring such training was the desire to improve their ability for nursing practice.
Discussions: The nurses in Chiba identified countermeasures for elderly people with dementia as an urgent problem. As inter-professional collaboration is necessary for constructing the community-based integrated care system and the ability for nursing practice is necessary for constructing this system, it is considered that organizing trainings that strengthen these aspects are necessary from now on.
