〔Objective〕To identify nursing students learning through outpatient nursing practice in adult nursing （chronic illness nursing）practice.

〔Method〕A qualitative inductive analysis of the descriptions on the cards presented as learning from the outpatient nursing practice during the sharing of learning in groups referring to the KJ method.

〔Results〕The learning that students acquired through adult nursing practice （outpatient nursing practice）was classified into 8 categories. The categories were to efficiently support information gathering, medical treatment and examination under time constraints, which is a characteristic of the outpatient nursing, to gather information to capture the patient’s life situation and to support the family, which is the role of outpatient nursing, to support self-management, to coordinate with other professions, etc.

〔Conclusions〕The learning that students acquired was highly abstract, so it was not clear whether the learning led to an understanding of the real-life situation of patients living in the community, and whether it led to specific practices that responded to those situations. In the future, it is necessary to consider lectures and practical training programs that lead to practice adapted to the diversity and complexity of outpatient nursing.

〔Objective〕This study aimed to reveal the differences between nursing schools and universities providing basic nursing education regarding the status of ICT setups and utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic.

〔Method〕A questionnaire survey was conducted among basic nursing educational institutions in Japan. The institutions were categorized into nursing schools and universities, and the proportions of ICT setups and utilization were compared between the two groups using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test.

〔Results〕Compared with universities, nursing schools had significantly higher proportions of setting up devices for teachers and wired LANs at facilities but significantly lower proportions of preparing human resources and manuals for supporting remote classes. Universities had significantly higher proportions of utilization of learning management systems （LMS）than nursing schools did. Regarding the use of ICT in nursing education, the results showed that the proportions of institutions using functions of LMS in universities were significantly higher than those in nursing schools.

〔Conclusions〕Although the ICT environment improved regardless of the type of educational institution, there was a difference between nursing schools and universities in terms of educational methods using ICT. It is necessary to support nursing schools by setting up ICT equipment, sharing ICT expertise, and recruiting people who are familiar with ICT.

〔Objective〕This study analyzed the teaching practices of university nursing school faculty members during practical nursing skill training, which they conduct casually on a daily basis, as well as their post-training narratives, with the aim of clarifying how the things they value manifest.

〔Method〕The study participants were university nursing school faculty members with more than 10 years of teaching experience who were present during practical training. During participatory observation, we recorded the educational practices of the faculty members and prepared field notes. After the practical training, we conducted unstructured interviews with the faculty and then described and analyzed the findings, following a phenomenological approach.

〔Results〕The practical training provided an opportunity for students and faculty to “think and feel” together. What the faculty valued was “always thinking and feeling,” which was triggered by the students’ reactions to what they felt had gone wrong, and this manifested itself with conviction.

〔Conclusions〕What the faculty members valued was shaped by their experiences of practical training as undergraduates in the past, as described by their narratives, as well as their clinical experiences, which in turn were connected to their current educational practice, updated, and manifested as a conviction.
