Research Perspective of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing by JAET Member

Abstract

　According to Igaku-Chuo Zassi, eight-hundred & thirty-three clinical reports were recoeded by JAET members between 1988-1998. We divided each into four categories by key word: ostomy care 536 (65%) wound care 152 (18%) continence care 12 (1%), and others 133 (16%). Considering the relative lack of clinical reports related to continence care, we would like to emphasis the importance continence care reporting to promote this field as a specialty within the general study of healthcare for the elderly in Japan. Our CD-ROM reference system is easily accessed by medical staff and other computer users. The importance of JAET members to promote their academic using previous scientific achievements is stressed.
