Language：English Publisher：Belitung Nursing Journal

Background: With an aging global population, establishing integrated systems for long-term care is challenging in several countries. Adequate and quality service for older adults in nursing homes can improve their quality of life. The career self-reliance of nurses working in nursing homes may affect the quality of life of older adults; this suggests a need for educational support for career self-reliance behavior. Objective: Our study aimed to identify characteristics associated with the career self-reliance behaviors of nurses working in nursing homes. Methods: Data were collected from nurses working in 789 nursing homes in Japan using questionnaires in 2018. The questionnaire consisted of the Scale of Career Self-Reliance Attitude, Career Self-Reliance Behavior to measure the degree of nurses’ career self-reliance, questions about personal attributes, work environment, and work commitment; and the Clinical Nursing Competence Self-Assessment Scale. A multiple regression analysis was conducted using career self-reliance as the dependent variable and characteristics as the independent variables. Results: Consequently, a total of 336 questionnaires were collected, of which 289 without missing data were analyzed. Of the 289 participants, 79 (27.3%) had certifications or licenses other than those for nursing or had completed graduate school. As a result of multiple regression analysis, a higher frequency of nursing practice (β = 0.38, p <0.001) was associated with career self-reliance attitudes. Having certifications or licenses other than those for nursing or completing graduate school (β = 0.11, p = 0.03), job satisfaction as a nurse (β = 0.12, p = 0.03), higher frequency of nursing practice (β = 0.28, p <0.001), and a higher degree of career self-reliance attitude (β = 0.45, p <0.001) were associated with career self-reliance behavior. Relationships with supervisors or colleagues were not associated with career self-reliance. Conclusion: It is important for nurses working in nursing homes to enrich their nursing practice, continue learning, and be satisfied with their jobs to improve their career self-reliance. Nurses and administrators working in nursing homes should make efforts to obtain these characteristics for nurses’ career self-reliance behaviors. Particularly, maintaining nursing practice frequency is essential for improving the quality of life of older adults through nurses’ career self-reliance.

COLLEGIAN Vol. 31 ( 2 ) page： 100 - 106 2024.4

Publisher：Collegian

Background: To provide quality patient care, nurses are required to actively learn and improve their nursing competence. Aim: This study examined the impact of nurses’ learning factors related to in-service education on nursing competence, targeting nurses with up to five years of clinical experience working in hospitals. Methods: Questionnaires were mailed to qualified nurses working in two areas of Japan. Data from 177 responses with no missing values for the dependent and independent variables were analysed. The survey items included the Clinical Nursing Competence Self-Assessment Scale (CNCSS), Learning Scale on In-service Education for Nurses, demographic factors such as age and career self-reliance, and institutional environmental factors such as number of beds in the hospital where they work. Findings: Among the three concepts in the CNCSS, “fundamental in nursing practice” had the highest average score, and “personal and professional development” had the lowest average score. Of the nurses’ learning factors, “acquisition of basic nursing” and “self-growth as a person” had the highest and lowest mean scores, respectively. Nurses’ total learning scores were significantly associated with nursing competence — the higher the learning score, the higher the CNCSS score. Moreover, the scores for “acquisition of autonomy as a nursing professional” and “self-growth as a person” in nurses’ in-service education learning showed a significant positive relationship with nursing competence. Conclusion: Hospitals need to devise educational programs and train educators to improve the autonomy of nurses and encourage their growth as a person.

Hoshino, J; Tamakoshi, K; Hori, Y; Sakakibara, H

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NURSING PRACTICE Vol. 28 ( 3 ) page： e13044 2022.6

Language：English Publisher：International Journal of Nursing Practice

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family caregivers' health-related quality of life and health outcomes in care recipients. Methods: A total of 160 female caregivers in Japan were initially assessed using self-reported baseline questionnaires to determine physical and mental aspects of their health-related quality of life. Based on these scores, they were divided into three groups: lower, middle, and higher quality of life. We followed up with the 133 participants (after excluding those that did not respond) 6 years later to assess the health of their care recipients; 36 caregivers continued to provide home care, while 97 reported that their care recipient had died or been admitted into institutionalized care. Results: Statistically, a higher risk for care recipients' health deterioration was strongly associated with the mental component score in the lower caregivers' quality of life group of than for the middle group, after adjusting for the care recipients' age, health status, and caregivers' age at baseline. There was no significant association between deterioration of health of care recipients and physical component scores of the caregivers. Conclusion: Caregivers' poor health-related quality of life, particularly poor mental health, may be linked to the deterioration of care recipients' health.

HOME HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT AND PRACTICE 2021.11

Authorship：Lead author,　Corresponding author Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Home Health Care Management and Practice

This cross-sectional study aims to clarify the relationship between the number of behavioral and psychological symptoms in long-term care recipients and family caregivers’ depressive states. Participants were 38 family caregivers who had provided care for their relatives for 6 years or more; they were recruited from in-home care settings in Aichi, Gifu, and Shiga Prefectures, Japan. Participants answered a self-administered questionnaire assessing their depressive state using the Japanese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies for Depression Scale (CES-D). They also answered questions inquiring about behavioral and psychological symptoms of care recipients, including resistance to care, irritability, and feelings of persecution. Using CES-D scores, 11 participants were categorized as depressed and 27 as non-depressed. Depressive symptoms were significantly greater in those with more behavioral and psychological symptoms, following adjustment for confounding factors. The odds ratio of being in a depressive state was 9.43 higher for those with more than 4 behavioral and psychological symptoms compared to those with none, showing a distinct threshold for the influence of behavioral and psychological symptoms on depressive state. Knowing the number of behavioral and psychological symptoms of care recipients may help quickly identify depressed caregivers and alleviate depressive symptoms.

Language：Japanese Publisher：Japan Academy of Nursing Science

Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the mental and physical health characteristics associated with the degree of “concern about the developing dementia” of local residents in Japan by age group (64 years old or younger, 65 years old or older), and to examine possible factors related to feelings about the developing dementia.Methods: This was a descriptive epidemiological study using anonymous self-administered questionnaires for community residents aged ≥40 years. We examined the relationship between the proportion of respondents who responded to the level of concern about developing dementia and their physical and mental health.Results: Those who were greatly concerned about dementia development were 60 individuals (27.1%) aged ≤64 years and 75 individuals (22.8%) aged ≥65. In both age groups, there was no significant correlation between personal attributes, such as age and sex, and the presence or absence of concerns about dementia development. Conversely, a significant correlation was found between the presence or absence of health anxiety, stress, and memory decline and concerns about dementia development.Conclusions: Approximately 25% of local residents aged 40 years and older had severe feelings of concern about the developing dementia, and regardless of age, it was thought that psychiatric and neurological factors may be associated with severe concern.

The Journal of the Japan Academy of Nursing Administration and Policies Vol. 26 ( 1 ) page： 64 - 75 2022

Language：Japanese Publisher：The Japan Academy of Nursing Administration and Policies

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of learning through in-hospital education of nurses as well as the influences of the organizational environment and individual factors on this learning. The study participants were 1,185 nurses working at hospitals in two adjacent prefectures. To recruit the participants, 2,777 questionnaires were delivered to nurses and a total of 1,243 nurses responded. A self-administered questionnaire survey was sent in the mail. In addition to the basic attributes of participants, the survey items included organizational environmental factors such as the number of beds in the facility where they were currently working, the presence or absence of mentors or models, and the presence or absence of leadership role experience. Additional survey items were related to career self-reliance and learning through in-hospital education among nurses. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis, where learning through in-hospital education among nurses was set as the dependent variable, was used. Of the five subfactors of "learning scale on in-hospital education for nurses," "acquisition of basic nursing" exhibited the highest average value, and "self-growth as a person" exhibited the lowest average value. Results of the hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that the factors related to learning through in-hospital education among nurses included nurse age, clinical experience, number of facility beds, presence of mentors or models, leadership role experience and career self-reliance. These results suggest that an organizational environment that is conducive to learning and a strong willingness to learn may promote the extent that nurses learn through in-hospital education.

Journal of Japan Academy of Nursing Science Vol. 42 ( 0 ) page： 356 - 364 2022

Authorship：Corresponding author Language：Japanese Publisher：Japan Academy of Nursing Science

Purpose: This study examined the emotions associated with the development of dementia among the middle-aged or older adults living in community.Methods: A qualitative descriptive research method was adopted in this study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews from 13 middle-aged or older adults who belonged to several clubs.Results: The participants were six men and seven women aged 60–91 years. Twelve participants (92.3%) had contact with people with dementia. Consequently, 40 codes, 24 sub-categories, and 13 categories were formed, and the following six core categories representing the emotions associated with developing dementia among the middle-aged or older adults living in community were identified: (a) fear, (b) apprehension, (c) threat, (d) denial, (e) despair, and (f) relief.Conclusions: The middle-aged or older adults worry about dementia due to unfavorable knowledge. Thus, there is a need to promote sufficient knowledge about dementia among the middle-aged or older adults and provide good care via professionals for people with dementia.

The Journal of the Japan Academy of Nursing Administration and Policies Vol. 23 ( 1 ) page： 128 - 139 2019

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：The Japan Academy of Nursing Administration and Policies

The purpose of this study is to clarify the factor structure of learning that nurses working at a hospital acquire from clinical education in order to develop and test the reliability and validity of the scale of leaning from clinical education of nurses. A questionnaire comprising 53 items was prepared through examination by nurse practitioners. The subjects of a questionnaire survey were nurses who work at hospitals in Prefecture A. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted with the principal factor method and promax rotation, and reliability and validity were confirmed with the Cronbach's α coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis, respectively. The number of responses was 720 (valid response rate=43.6%), of whom 88.6% were female and 11.4% were male. The mean working year and standard deviation was 16.3±9.1 years. Five factors for 20 items comprising the scale were extracted: [acquisition of basic nursing], [expanded view toward work], [self-growth as a person], [acquisition of competency to accomplish work at one's own department], and [acquisition of autonomy as a nurse professional]. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability was 0.960, which cinfirmed internal consistency. The degree of compatibility of the model with confirmatory factor analysis was GFI=0.911, AGFI=0.883, CFI=0.956, and RMSEA=0.066. It was suggested that this scale is reliable and validity, and can be used to evaluate learning acquired by nurses from clinical education.

Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：The Japan Academy of Nursing Administration and Policies

Objective: In our previous study, we developed a scale of nurses' learning from clinical education. This study aimed to test the cross-validation of the Learning Scale on In-service Education for Nurses.Methods: A self-report questionnaire was administered to nurses working at hospitals. There were 435 participants (response rate: 38.6%). Surveys from 82 participants were excluded from the analysis because they did not answer all the questions. Finally, 353 questionnaires were used for the analysis. We examined the Learning Scale on In-service Education for Nurses, the Scale of Career Self-reliance Behavior, and social support in the workplace. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the fitness of the model obtained from our previous study.Results: The Learning Scale on In-service Education for Nurses demonstrated acceptable construct validity and internal reliability of its subscales. A path analysis showed that social support from a superior at work (path coefficient=0.23, p=0.01) directly predicted learning from in-service education. Career self-reliance behavior was explained by learning from the in-service education (path coefficient = 0.41, p < 0.01).Conclusion: Using a different sample from our previous study, this study suggested that the scale is reliable and valid and can be used to evaluate learning acquired by nurses from clinical education. Social support from a superior at work may promote learning from in-service education. Moreover, learning may facilitate self-reliance behavior for career development.
