In hospital A, we have implemented group training for the young and inexperienced nursing staff. However, we found that many of these nursing staff had uneasiness in using their technique. Therefore, we have been holding staff technical support club for the young and inexperienced nurses (hereafter referred to as “Hiyokko Club” ) since five years ago. By carrying out the evaluation of the “Hiyokko Club”, and to review the method of support so that we provide a better support, we conducted a questionnaire survey to 45 new recruited nursing staff in 2015.
As a result, it was ascertained that these new nursing staff considered the technical support of “Hiyokko Club” assertively and that the support built the staffs' confidence. Moreover, by participating in “Hiyokko Club”, the new nursing staff made friends and obtained mental support.
We found the “Hiyokko Club” as a meaningful place for the inexperienced nursing staff. To make “Hiyokko Club” more effective, it is necessary that we coordinate to continue holding and providing information including techniques menus. We have also obtained suggestion to improve on the types of support for the next year.
