JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe must take precautions against nosocomial infections, which may induce an additional infection on patients and spread multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Their prevention is to be dependent on the correct understanding the sources and infection routes of the pathogens. Hair could be a candidate for the sources and/or routes, because its surface has about 3.7 times more as broad area as the whole body, and is often touched by hands. Therefore, we investigated here the adhesion rates of the opportunistic pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli to heir.We found very high adhesion rates of the bacteria. Forty to 60% of the bound ones still remained on the hair even after washing with various kinds of shampoo.Within 3 min, 1 to 10% of shampoo solution killed most of Staphylococcus aureus, but not any portion of majority strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. This fact indicated that the bound Pseudomonas and Escherichia remained alive on the hair, suggesting that the hair could be a course of the sources and routes of the pathogens of nosocomial infections.View full abstractDownload PDF (108K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to examine the educational needs of nursing faculty in Japan, and to explore the related factors of it. A conceptual framework was constructed based on literature review. The Educational Needs Assessment Tool for Nursing Faculty (FENAT) and Faculty Attribute Questionnaire (FAQ) were used as instruments. The instrument packets were distributed to 1577 nursing faculty randomly sampled from baccalaureate programs, associate degree programs, and diploma programs in nursing in Japan. The answer were returned by mail. Eight hundred and thirty one (52.9%) nursing faculty responded, and 546 valid data were analyzed statistically. The results of the study showed that nursing faculty need to improve their professional activities. Furthermore, it was identified that 17 attributes of nursing faculty related with their educational needs. After discussion about the internal relation among the 17 attributes, seven hypothesis of educational needs of nursing faculty, which should be tested empirically in future study, were developed.View full abstractDownload PDF (122K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSMaintenance of the mental and physical health of stuff nurses in the nursing field is important for ensuring the quality of nursing care, but those influencing it are still unclear. The present study was designed to comprehend the actual status of the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the job stressors, buffer factors and individual characteristics that could potentially influence it, to explore the relationships among the factors and investigate the factors influencing the HRQOL. This study included 500 staff nurses from the Kinki region in Japan to whom a self-administered questionnaire was posted. The questionnaire included four sub-scales of SF-36, nurse stress scale, stress coping scale, and self-consciousness scale. On the results,Vitality (VT) and Mental Health (MH) of SF-36, were significantly lower in nurses who were in their 20's, in smokers, subjects who considered themselves unsuitable for nursing profession, and persons with high public self-consciousness. VT was mostly influenced by sensation of achievement, diversion of mind, and quantitative workload, and MH was influenced by qualitative workload, and sensation of achievement. The results suggest that the sensation of achievement and management in workload should be considered in order to increase the HRQOL.View full abstractDownload PDF (120K) -
-Interviews with the Nursing School Teachers-Setsuko Hayashi, Maki Shibata2006 Volume 29 Issue 5 Pages 5_49-5_57

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study examined teacher conflict related to nursing students with mental health problems and suggested solutions.The study method used was semi-structured interviews and the subjects were 5 teachers at a nursing school (3-year program). Consequently, they described the students' developing human-relations capability and the likelihood of the students having diseased personalities.With this in mind, they encountered conflicts between maintaining a student's mental health and educating the student to be a nurse. In particular, during clinical training, their conflicts increased when they had negative and rescue feelings for the students and were involved affectively and when the necessity to protect the patients' safety and comfort increased. Moreover, they also encountered conflicts when other teachers blamed their relationships with the students; the difficulty in then requesting support from other teachers caused such conflicts to worsen. The result suggests that it is necessary for teachers to relate to students using knowledge and techniques relating to mental health, to empathetically understand conflicts among teachers, and to cultivate an educational perspective by reflecting on such conflicts.We anticipate constructing a support system for teachers' mental health.View full abstractDownload PDF (89K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was clarify the acquisition level of progressive muscle relaxation(PMR) and effects of its continuous self training were assessed by physical and subjective appraisal after PMR training. The results were as follows: 1) Of seven subjects, 4 succeeded in the acquisition of PMR and continued its training for 2 weeks by themselves. 2) Systolic pressure and the pulse rate after PMR was decreased more than half of total. These results indicated that the somesthetic score was significantly improved by PMR training in all the subjects. 3) After 2 weeks, the patients who continued the self training had that the pulse rate was lowered, and the somesthetic score was increased. But Systolic pressure was not changed after 2 weeks. 4) In the patients who continued the self training, significant effects to reduce medical test / treatment associated stress as well as sleep-stimulation effects were observed. Moreover, those patients' attitude became more active against the disease through PMR training. 5) It was suggested that nursing staffs should guide cancer patients by procedures suitable for each patient and support them to continue it.View full abstractDownload PDF (92K) -
-Evaluation Using Our Relationship-establishing Behavior scale-Kimiko Ohara2006 Volume 29 Issue 5 Pages 5_83-5_92

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe performed a survey and analysis to clarify factors constituting the behavior of nursing students for the establishment of personal relationships, and evaluate changes in relationship-establishing behavior with the progression of classes at college. The subjects were second-year students at the department of nursing of our college. Relationship-establishing behavior consisted of 3 factors ( wit" ",sympathy", and"prosociality"). There was no association between the 3 factors and the progression of classes (before classes, after classes, and after nursing practice). However, multiple comparison analysis showed significant differences between "wit"as well as "prosociality"and the progression of classes. The students were classified according to the score for the 3 factors into the low, middle, and high score groups, and changes in the score with the progression of classes were evaluated. In the low score group, the mean score for each factor rapidly increased with the progression of classes. However, the mean score for each factor in the high score group decreased. In particular, in students with a low relationship-establishing behavior score before classes, seminars at college and clinical practice are effective educational methods for the acquisition of behavior. However, educational methods in students with a high score before classes should be further evaluated in the future.View full abstractDownload PDF (72K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRecently, domestic violence ; DV has been paid public attention in Japan, but it is very difficult to detect DV victims because of several methodological problems. Purpose of this study is to make circumstantial analysis of DV victims who were sent to the critical care medical center at T city in Osaka prefecture.
From 1998 to 2001, 9 victims, only 1 case was male, supposed to be injured by DV were sent to the center. By descriptive data collected mainly from nursing records, the identification processes as DV were classified into 4 patterns such as `admission of the victims', `admission of the victim's family', `admission of the person who caused DV' and `admission of the victims according to the care process'. In addition, medical staffs did not play initiative role for coordination with their families and/or social facilities because they did not have sufficient knowledge of DV. It is suggested that effective system for early detection and care for DV victims are highly required.View full abstractDownload PDF (67K) -
