Abstract

While working as a teacher at a nursing school, the author encountered difficulties in teaching clinical practicum, which prompted her to enter graduate school to tackle these problems. The author engaged in research on the theme of “nursing clinical practicum” both for her master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation and, continued this research after completing graduate school. However, as the author was no longer involved in nursing clinical practicum as part of her daily work, she gradually felt less and less satisfied with the practical application of her research. Therefore, the author received her supervisor’s suggestion and changed her research theme from “nursing clinical practicum” to “research supervision for graduate students.” This allowed the author to once again conduct research directly relevant to her own questions and problems.
This paper presents the author’s research on postgraduate nursing education and how she used the research results to address her issues associated with research supervision and improve the quality of her research supervision.
