Research theme

The Public Health Nursing Course is involved in the development of knowledge and techniques and the generation and development of norms and theories to promote health maintenance, prevent and recover from health ailments, lengthen lifespan, improve quality of life, and achieve a peaceful society by focusing on all of the people and communities (groups, organizations, regions) who exist in a region, as well as the care systems that they are involved in.
Students will be involved in such research topics as Developing Care Programs and Care Systems in Response to Health Issues and Health Risk Factors for Local People in All Different Stages of Life, Developing a Care System for Achieving an Inclusive Society based on the Narrative of Disease and Recovery for People with Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses in a Community, Development of an Interdisciplinary Coordination Program to Support Children with Health Risks, Development of Child-Rearing Programs to Eliminate Child-Care Stress and Prevent Child Abuse, and Development of Mutual Exchange Programs in Local Resident Group Activities to Maintain Health of Elderly People Living Alone. Through this we contribute to building evidence in the field of nursing.
