Abstract
A survey was conducted among nurses who participated in trainings for nurses specialized in severe motor and intellectual disabilities offered at medical care facilities/nursing care offices for disabled children in Tokyo (professional nursing-training course for severe motor and intellectual disabilities in Tokyo; hereinafter, trainings) as well as nurse managers from corresponding facilities, for the purpose of investigating achievements and issues from the trainings. The results of the survey revealed “theoretical exploration of professional knowledge/skills", which was the purpose of the trainings, and “decrease in employee turnover rate" as the achievement of the trainings. Meanwhile, the issues raised for educational centers offering the trainings included “training methods which reduce burdens of trainees" and “training designs, taking local features into consideration", and those for nurse managers included “role allocation, taking trainees' burdens into consideration" and “establishment of a system which can increase the number of trainees for continuation of the trainings.
