Advance online publication: October 16, 2020JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAim: The aim of this study was to reveal the recognition of radiation materials to the mothers who continue voluntary evacuation.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-seven mothers. Data were analyzed using content analysis.
Results: Recognition of radiation materials released by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident were classified into seven categories: “Materials was negative effects on our health” “My perception of materials different from laypeople” “Materials destroyed natural environment” “Materials didn’t stay one spot” “Materials negative effects were continue for a long time” “Materials was not equally exist by each environment” “Materials effects can be reduced”.
Discussion: To support the mothers who have anxiety about radionuclides, it is essential to considering they had various recognition about radionuclides. Furthermore, it is important to deeply understand the wishes that they want to avoid even slightly exposure of their children due to Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident.View full abstractDownload PDF (917K) -

Advance online publication: October 16, 2020JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to clarify “uncertainty in illness” (Mishel, 1988) and its factors related to untreated unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA), so the Universal Uncertainty in Illness Scale (UUIS) was used in a self-reported questionnaire that was distributed to 165 patients having untreated UIA. As a result, the average total-UUIS score was 72.06±22.86. A univariate analysis was conducted with UUIS as the dependent variable and the four independent variables of “basic attributes”, “antecedent variables of uncertainty”, “coping with uncertainty”, and “SOC3-UTHS”, which represents the sense of coherence. A categorical regression analysis was conducted using seven variables. It found statistically significant correlations in the univariate analysis, for example SOC3-UTHS and “emotional support from others with the same disease”. The conclusion is that these factors explain 43% of uncertainty in illness in the subjects and suggest the necessity of nursing support for UIA patients for finding awareness of UIA and to creating environments where they can share their experiences and feelings with people suffering from the same disease.View full abstractDownload PDF (1005K) -

Advance online publication: October 16, 2020JOURNAL FREE ACCESSObjective: This study sought to identify resilience on the part of Japanese workers who returned to work after taking a leave of absence due to mood disorders.
Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants who returned to work after taking a leave of absence because of a mood disorder, after which the interview transcripts were subjected to qualitative descriptive analysis.
Results: The participants “came to terms with their illness in a way that prioritized continuous employment,” and adapted their awareness of the meaning of employment and of the employment environment by “reframing the meaning of employment” and “making adjustments to facilitate a sustainable work environment.” Moreover, it became clear that their success at returning to continuous employment and the way they approached their new positions made it possible for them “to recognize the positive aspects of continuous employment” and to continue working.
Conclusion: In terms of supporting employees’ continued employment after taking mood disorder-related leaves of absence, the acquisition of symptom management skills, the examination of attitudes toward work and the meaning of workplace relationships, and the provision of opportunities to promote positive awareness in the workplace environment were suggested as directions for support.View full abstractDownload PDF (901K) -

Advance online publication: October 16, 2020JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this study, we aimed to clarify fathers’ experiences when they encounter their stillborn babies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six fathers who experienced the loss of their babies due to stillbirth, and the data thus obtained were qualitatively analyzed. The experiences of fathers encountering their stillborn babies could be classified into 23 categories and 66 subcategories, with three core categories as follows: knowing and connecting with one’s child, facing the death of one’s child, and living as fathers of children who had died. Encountering their stillborn babies encouraged fathers to develop their identity as fathers and simultaneously accept their child’s death and parting with their child. Furthermore, memories and material reminders of the child provided fathers with indications of the presence of the child, even after the loss of their child and provided support to the father. Thus, it is important for the medical staff to support fathers to spend time with their babies and to retain memories of the limited time spent together.View full abstractDownload PDF (916K) -

Advance online publication: October 16, 2020JOURNAL FREE ACCESSObjective: This review examines the present state of overseas and Japanese support systems for healthcare professionals involved in medical errors, commonly desired forms and sources of support, as well as the effects of such support, in order to advance the discussion concerning effective support structures in Japan.
Methods: A total of 42 studies (26 in English and 16 in Japanese) were identified from the Medline, CINAHL, PubMed and Ichu-shi databases using keywords such as ‘second victim’, ‘medical error’ and ‘support’.
Results: The findings suggested that the most commonly desired forms and sources of support correspond in Japan and other countries. Among the forms of support, support from peers or senior colleagues was the most desired, with informal support provided by peers shown to foster positive growth in medical professionals. While peer support programs are common overseas, in Japan, focus has remained on support provided by administrative staff, with a lack of focus on peer support.
Conclusion: Post adverse event support was found to have as significant an impact on medical professionals as organizational culture. Implementation of training to enhance support skills among on-site staff and to address organizational culture is needed in Japan.View full abstractDownload PDF (893K) -

Advance online publication: October 16, 2020JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPurpose: This research clarifies the direction and issues of research on competency related to the teaching activities of nursing science professors (hereinafter “professors”) through a review of domestic and foreign literature.
Method: CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed, Ichushi-(Igaku Chuo Zasshi) Web, CiNii and J-STAGE databases were used to find literature using a combination of keywords such as “nursing faculty”, “competency” and “teaching or education”. Ultimately, 26 foreign references and 28 domestic references were sampled.
Results: Literature after 2010 has increased. Through an analysis of reference materials, we created fourteen categories and the following four themes: Characteristics of Teaching Competency, Development of Tools for Measuring Competency of Teaching Activities, Actual State of Competency for Teaching Activities, and Cultivation of Competency for Teaching Activities.
Conclusion: The creation, adaption and evaluation of evidence-based educational plans and implementing findings remain a challenge in fostering teaching competency among professors in the future.View full abstractDownload PDF (1086K)
