Abstract
Objective: Hospital nursing staffs are required to engage in community-based integrated nursing practice as the Japanese government promotes "aging-in-place" strategies and the construction of community-based integrated care systems. The aim of this study was to clarify the current situation regarding recognition of the Community-based nursing practice supervisor training program (extension program), and the Community-based nursing leader training course (graduate program) among university hospital nursing staffs.
Methods: An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted with 751 nursing staffs at A-University Hospital.
Results: A total of 674 questionnaires were returned (89.7% response rate), with 667 questionnaires analyzed (98.9% valid response rate). Altogether, 305 respondents (45.7%) knew the extension program and 395 respondents (59.2%) knew the graduate course, while 149 respondents (22.3%) were interested in or considering enrolling in the extension program, and 119 respondents (17.8%) in the graduate course. The main reason for hesitation was uncertainty about managing both work and study. A total of 231 respondents (34.6%) knew about "the Home Care Mind Concept".
Conclusion: The study suggested that knowledge dissemination activities using the cooperation system of the university hospital nursing department and the university for development of community-based integrated nursing personnel could raise motivation for enrolling in recurrent education programs.
