The objective of the present study was to elucidate the processes and the time required for each stage of birth kangaroo care (BKC) by observing the behavior of infants. Specifically, participant observation was conducted for 10 mother-infant pairs with normal delivery between July and September 2003 who gave consent to participate in the study. Observation with video recording was conducted from delivery to either completion of BKC or the point where the infant began to fall asleep. For analysis of the movements and behaviors of the infants during BKC, the durations of each of the following six stages were measured and investigated: 1) delivery, 2) placement on the mother's abdomen, 3) awakening, 4) nipple searching, 5) sucking on the nipple, and 6) drifting into sleep. The results showed that BKC was implemented for a mean of 1 hour and 29 minutes. After being placed on the mother's abdomen, the infant started to suck on the nipple about 1 hour later and started to fall into sleep about 1 hour and 30 minutes later. Individual differences were observed in the duration of time spent at each stage, and having a short duration for one stage did not necessarily mean that the durations of the other stages were also short. The duration of nipple searching after awakening was the longest.

【Purpose】 The purpose of this study was to examine the present situation with respect to cognition of marital violence and the correlative factors among Chinese women in Japan. 【Methods】 The subjects of this study were 140 married Chinese women, whose native language was Chinese, living in metropolitan areas in Japan. The survey was conducted using self reporting questionnaires, including Cognition of Marital Violence Scale and personal attributes. 【Results】 The median (mode) score on Cognition of Marital Violence Scale was 45.0(46.0). The lowest score was 25.0 and the highest score was 57.0. It was found that the personal attributes significantly correlated with cognition of marital violence were the couple's age, length of courtship, presence or absence of children, length of marriage; employment status. 【Conclusion】 Chinese women in Japan have a low tolerance for marital violence. The tolerance for marital violence tended to increase with increasing age and length of marriage. It was suggested that encourage women to understand marital violence correctly were essential before marriage or in the early years of marriage.

Aim: To clarify the attributes of the concept of "true presence", which is a basic part of nursing theory, and to investigate the practice of "true presence" to evaluate the role of Parse's theory of nursing in practice. Methods: After carefully reviewing two texts and four references on Parse's theory of nursing, we selected the passages describing the concept of "true presence" and analyzed them by the method of Walker and Avant. Results: One hundred and twenty-four descriptions were extracted from the literature review. The attributes included 1) the meaning of the concept in Parse's theory of nursing, and 2) the nursing practice of "true presence". The antecedents included 1) nurses providing "true presence" for patients, and 2) patients who needed "true presence" from the nurses. The consequences included 1) finding the meaning, 2) staying with patients, 3) promoting self-transcendence, and 4) improvement of quality of life. Conclusions: This study suggested that the concept of "true presence" is the basic principle of Parse's theory of nursing. It has the consequence of leading to "improvement of quality of life" (the purpose of the theory), and is a nursing practice that emphasizes the understanding and independence of patients. In addition, specific ways to provide "true presence" for patients were reviewed.

The point of this study is to get a basic data of families who contribute to in-home care for the elderly in need of caregiving. The cognition related to a role of family caregiver is stated as 'Caregiving Commitment', and this concept is basically consisted of three (3) factors, 'Affective Commitment', 'Continuance Commitment', and 'Normative Commitment'. The purpose of this study is to define the relationship between those commitments and the family's will to continue the in-home care. In results, within the three (3) factors that constituting 'Caregiving Commitment', it indicated that the 'Affective Commitment' and 'Normative Commitment' have a significant effect on the family's will to continue the inhome care. And this suggests that the commitment theory cannot be denied. As to conclude, along with the existing home care service, if the elderly wish to receive in-home care, and if their families have a will to continue the in-home care for the elderly, it revealed the importance of intervention, either directly to the 'Caregiving Commitment', or indirectly through the factors that relate to 'Caregiving Commitment'.

One of the most important points for medical care cooperation is image information, which plays a major role in decision-making regarding diagnosis and treatment of disease. This study examined contents of images that have been used in community medical care, such as detection equipment, resources, recording mediums, at Bokutoh hospital in Sumida-ku. The survey was carried out between January 2008 and February 2011 and involved 4442 pieces of data. The number of the provided images has been on the increase in community medical care. More than 90% of all provided images were produced by CT or MRI. One of the reasons for the increase in the number of offered images was that CT and MRI have been recently upgraded with new detector technology. The second reason was that many patients bring in medical images take at other medical institutions as part of referral information to treat illnesses. The third reason was that Portable Data for Imaging (PDI) are increasingly being used.
