Abstract:

Nursing is an integral and important part of the healthcare system. In Soviet period nursing model in Georgia viewed nurse as the „first stage“ of medical practice (doctor’s assistant). This resulted in the impediment in the development of nursing as an independent profession. In order to improve public health through further development of the nursing practices in the country, and achieve increase in the quality of nursing care, introduction of higher education system was urgent.  Throughout the recent history of Georgia, many fragmented attempts to develop the field were conducted. Nursing was one of the first health care group and practical discipline included in the Bologna Process.  As a result of reforming the education systems, from 2011 new level of a nurse have been introduced in the healthcare system of Georgia - Bachelor Nurse. Revision of  vocational curricula began just in recent years, however due to the lack of professional nursing literature and many other factors, such as the absence of nurse trainers and outdated methods of clinical practice, the quality of education in Georgia requires its harmonization with international standards and intensive work in this direction is in progress. The University of Georgia was the first educational institution in the country where BSN program was developed and introduced.

Abstract:

Clinical training is an important component of nursing education that enables students to use and strengthen the theoretical and simulation teaching skills.

Clinical training is carried out by Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) or physicians who have completed a nurse-trainer course, but it isn’t always the case. The purpose of the research, which is in the process, focuses on the main problems of clinical education in Georgia.

One of the the core problem is related to the government’s and society’s general attitude towards nursing profession and education, which is directly related to clinical learning problems, such as - nursing education, lack of skills in nurses, lack of nurse-trainers and most importantly - the non-homogeneous attitude of the staff working in the clinic towards the nurses-students.

Effective clinical training is crucial for high quality nursing care and Clinical Nurse Educators (CNSs) are the ones who are responsible for nursing-students teaching in clinical conditions.

Despite such clinical trials, nurses-trainers face a number of problems during clinical training, since the nurses' qualifications in the clinic and the level of education is much lower than the need for nurses-students.

As a result, CNEs face challenges and may not adequately teach, guide, supervise and assess student nurses during clinical placements, thus potentially reducing their effectiveness as educators.

Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) face challenges of different origin, which in turn reduce the effectiveness of clinical training and its consequences.

Abstract:

Introduction: Engaging millennial students who have learned in a digital environment is a current challenge.  Multi-taction I-Walls are emerging as an ultimate touch technology that may help facilitate a complete multi-sensory and collaborative solution for these digital learners.  This collaboration can be implemented in multiple locations as will be discussed in this example. Using a multi-sensory approach to engage the student in active learning requires knowledge and availability of technology, technology support, and faculty development time.

Background:  Critical components of multi-sensory learning include:  1) make it real-time, 2) visualize in one place, 3) connect learners and technology, 4) showcase rich media, and 5) implement use of touch screens across multiple loctions.  In addition, the more modalities provided in the learning experience, the higher the retention rate of knowledge acquisition. Students are engaged using visual, auditory, and tactile (haptic) strategies with the multi-taction I-Wall.  According to Therrell and Dunneback (2015), a top preferred active learning strategy is hands-on, interactive, and experiential and top preferred engagement strategy is making real-world connections. Through the use of the mulit-taction I-Wall, the students will have an interactive, real-time learning experience that utilizes current practice, up-to-date resources and real-world examples.

Purpose:  The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of using multi-sensory learning technologies on retention of knowledge of a pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis case study simulation.

Methods:  Nursing students from two campuses will complete a 5 item pre-test prior to the immersive multi-sensory learning experience.  The pre-test scores will be compared with a similar post-test after participating in a collaborative interactive multi-taction I-Wall simulated learning experience related to a pediatric diabetic keto-acidosis simulation.  This experience will meet the core components of visual, audio and haptic learning.

Results:  We hypothesize that students will improve the score on the post-test after participating in the innovative simulated learning experience cross-campuses. We also anticipate that the students will report a high level of satisfaction with the learning experience.

Implications:  Use of multi-sensory learning technologies can enhance knowledge retention and increase engagement of millennial learners.

Abstract:

This paper explores the difficulties and challenges during clinical practicums among Chinese nursing students in Hong Kong and identifies strategies to maximise student learning. By using critical incident case study, interviews of 3 focus groups with 20 nursing instructors (i.e. 5-9 persons in a group) were conducted on 2018. The group discussions were facilitated by the same moderator and observed by two academic staff. Each interview lasted for an hour and they were audio-taped and transcribed for analysis. The interviewees were assigned into 3 groups according to their teaching experiences in higher education, i.e. 6 members in the experienced group (>2 years), 9 in the intermediate experienced group (1-2 years), and 5 in the non-experienced group (0-1 year).  Three themes that reflected students’ challenges included 1) Interpersonal inadequacy: a failure to commit to nursing professionalism, codes of ethics, and the practice of safe procedures; previous traumatised experience in clinical practicum; the lack of confidence and insights into the ‘shoulds’ and ‘shouldn’ts’; 2) Intrapersonal conflict: discord created by overly dominant students in skill practice, and inadequate and ineffective communication; and 3) Extrapersonal influences from the hospital environment. The strategies that were identified to maximise students’ learning experiences were: for example, maintaining standards and supervising practices throughout, partnering with clinical staff to monitor student’s learning, instigating disciplinary system to assess fitness for practice, using multiple teaching methods, channels and platforms, motivating and backing up students and providing feedback, teacher’s self-reflection and sharing of personal experiences, checking students’ performances from academic records, etc.

Abstract:

The rapid changes that come with developing science and technology bring innovative approaches to health care and healthcare environments. This situation requires interactive and current teaching techniques in nursing education (Baykara, 2017; Abe ve ark., 2013). To gain perfection for nurses and improve competency of patient care, one of the more effective learning methods adopted and used increasingly in nursing education is simulation (Edeer ve Sarıkaya, 2015). One of the main objectives of nursing education is to train nurses who are competent to improve patient care and provide patient safety.

Reviewing the literature, one can see that simulation based teaching method is used in order to develop learners’ physical examination skills, and the results are significant (Öztürk ve ark., 2016; Gordon ve ark., 2013; Baykara, 2017; Multak ve ark., 2015; Perlini ve Musca, 2012). With knowledge of this our study aims to evaluate the development of sophomore nursing students’, who take Physical Examination Course, skills of listening the sounds of lungs and intestines, through simulation conducted along with a scenario.

The study's universe consists of 191 students who are studying in the second semester of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing and taking Physical Examination Course in the Fall semester of 2017-2018 academic year. In the research, sample is determined by randomized method and 30 students will compose of sample group. Physical Examination practices will be evaluated using a high-fidelity simulator (Meti-Man Prehospital Simulator) with a scenario. The research data that prepared by the researchers will be collected using the "Personal Information Form" which containing the descriptive characteristics of the students and "Bondy Psychomotor Skill Evaluation Scale". Skill evaluation of students' practices will be observed by two independent observers. The analysis of the data will be carried out using descriptive statistics, paired samples t test and interobserver agreement test, the results and recommendations will be shared.

Abstract:

As one simulation method, the standardized patients (SPs) simulation helps educators to teach nursing students variety of skills in nursing, medicine, and other health professions. This grant funded study examined the effect of the Diverse Standardized Patient Simulation (DSPS) cultural competence education strategy on students’ (n = 53) transcultural self-efficacy (TSE). The multidimensional DSPS strategy involved careful integration of cognitive, practical, and affective skills guided by the Cultural Competence and Confidence (CCC) model. The National League for Nursing Jeffries Simulation Theory, International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning Standards of Best Practice: Simulation^SM, and guidelines and standards for coaching standardized patients were followed for scenario design, implementation, evaluation, and standardized patient training. The DSPS strategy involved two simulation scenarios targeting underrepresented patient populations (Muslim immigrant woman with limited English proficiency and Irish-Italian American gay man with his partner (Puerto Rican) to be utilized in a second-semester, nine-credit, 15week medical-surgical nursing course at an urban public US university. Content validity of both scenarios was conducted by five doctorally prepared content experts with excellent results. Using a one-group, longitudinal educational intervention study design, the Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) was implemented as a pretest and post-test. Results support that a) the DSPS strategy caused statistically significant changes (increase) in students’ TSE perceptions and b) all students regardless of background benefited from formalized cultural competence education. Utilization of evidence-based teaching and learning strategies such as the DSPS offer a valuable guide for educators to foster cultural competence development.

Abstract:

E-Learning (EL) is becoming increasingly prominent in Higher Education, but there remains a number of barriers to EL that must be carefully considered in applying, and accepting this kind of education method. This paper seeks to analyse the views of learners towards EL according to Self-Determination Theory (SDT), and identifies the motivations for accepting EL in Nursing Education in an Egyptian Higher Education establishment. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from undergraduate learners who were geographically widely spread around the twenty public Nursing Universities in Egypt: Cairo, Ain Shams, South Valley-Qena, Minia, Helwan, Banha, Tanta, Menofia, Demnhour, Kafr El-Sheikh, Suez Canal, Bani Suef, Assiut, Alexandria, Fayoum, Mansoura, Sohag, Zagazig, Aswan and Port Said Universities. This study examines Egyptian undergraduates’ IM, EM, AM, Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness with respect to the adaptation of the EL method.  The findings were coded and fed into statistical package for Social Science (SPSS) and Analysis of Moment structure (AMOS) for data analysis. Confirmatory Factor Analsysi (CFA) was used to confirm the dimensions under study are verified by SDT, as Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to find the effect of the SDT on nursing students’ motivation in Egypt.  The research contributes to the application of SDT within the field of EL through an analysis of the views of lecturers towards the motivations that EL offers to Nursing educators in Egypt. This study suggests that the Public Nursing universities should pay more attention to IM, EM and AM in the non-traditional learning environment.

Abstract:

This paper aims to present a pedagogical innovation in a nurse education leadership teaching programme It focuses on building the concept of resilience in nursing with the creative use of pictures and personal voices.  It is argued here that the importance of having a resilient health care workforce has significant impacts both in terms of the welfare of staff as well as for patient care.  Understanding which personal factors might help an individual to be more resilient, is an ongoing process, and as such there is a need for an understanding of the self in action. This necessitates a need for consideration of what works well and what creates further challenge. It is proposed that such an approach would provide a personal profile of issues to work on as well as areas of strength. In order to enhance understanding of personal resilience, nursing staff attending a leadership course engaged in of strategies designed to engage them in considering this aspect of their leadership.

Three key methods of engagement are employed 

1. Developing a resilience portfolio using pictures and specified questions.
2. Engaging in peer to peer discussion to support one another in identifying resilient qualities 
3. Recording and identifying personal resilience within this dialogue.

The activities were undertaken over a six-month period, and involved sessions within the course as well as work and home settings. Findings of this teaching innovation will be presented, followed by a discussion of lessons learned and a reflection about the sustainability of developing and implementing this initiative

Abstract:

Urinary tract infections are the most common hospital infection, accounting for up to 40% of infections reported by health care institutions. The objective was the evaluation of the implementation of basic rules on the technique of insertion of urinary catheter by nurses during the performance of this nursing procedure. The study included 32 nurses and 32 patients randomly selected, who were catheterized during the study period, in May 2017, at the Vlore Regional Hospital, Albania. For the assessment was used a checklist form, where were presented all steps of the correct procedure of urinary catheterization. 87.50% of nurses were women. Mean age of nurses 35.875 years, age range [29-55] years. Bachelor level education were prevalent with 50%. In catheterized patient’s female gender dominated with 68.75%, age interval [37-88] years. The results for the implementation of the steps in the procedure of urinary catheter insertion revealed that some of the most important steps of this procedure, were not implemented by any nurse or implemented by some of them. The perineal hygiene was not applied by any nurse. Hand hygiene was applied only by 43.75% of nurses and 56.25% of nurses did not wear sterile gloves during the procedure. Proper application of all urinary catheterization procedure steps is very important for the prevention of urinary tract infections associated with catheterization. Continuing education and increasing the professional awareness of clinical practice nurses related to this nursing procedure are essential for the quality and safety of care provided to the patient.

Abstract:

Health facility delivery is considered a critical strategy to improve maternal health. The objective of this study was to identify utilization of institutional delivery and its associated factors.A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among the mothers of under five children in Dhungkharka, Kavre District,Nepal.Pre-tested questionnaire was administered to 170 mothers between 15-45 years of age group. Household survey was done by using purposive sampling technique and face to face interview technique was used to collect the data from 1^st Julyto 30^th December 2014. Data was analyzed using simple descriptive statistic with SPSS version 16. Association with institutional delivery was assessed by using chi-square test.Among the total participants,90.0% of them had institutional delivery.The higher proportions of institutional delivery were found in both literate mothers (p=0.001), and literate husband (p=0.023).The proportion of institutional delivery among the mothers decided by their relatives(husband,father/mother-in-laws and other family members)for institutional delivery had higher portion (p=0.048) of institutional delivery than participants who decide themselves. But the study was not able to find out the significant association between institutional delivery and age of mothers, husband’s occupation and number of children, number of ANC visits and distance to nearest health facility for delivery.Utilization of institutional delivery was much higher than national figure. Institutional delivery was associate with both educational status of mothers and their husband. Decision made by husband, mother in-law, father in-law and other family members were also associated with institutional delivery. So, to increase institutional delivery, family members need to be encouraged for safe motherhood programme.

Abstract:

Background: The golden standard of student achievement evaluation is assessment. Based on the cognitive learning theory, this study started from the three stages of knowledge acquisition-transformation-evaluation, explore the effectiveness of the diversified multistage evaluation model.

Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to extract 504 undergraduate nursing students from grade 2010 to 2013 in a university in Northwest China, and divided into experimental group and control group. Diversified assessment ran through the whole teaching process, and teachers accepted unified training.

Results: In the experiment group, all of usual-time scores, final exam scores and overall scores showed normal distribution, which accorded with the formation rules of students' learning outcomes. The students in the experimental group were higher than the control group in the final exam scores and overall scores, and their usual-time scores were lower than the control group, and the difference were statistically significant (P<0.01). The results of single factor repeated measurement ANOVA showed that the total evaluation scores and the 4 dimensions of the scores of 11 items of learning effects at each stages all had statistically significant differences (P<0.01), and the second stage overall score increased by 3.733(2.731, 4.735) compared with the first stage, the third stage overall score increased by 6.653(5.709,7.598) compared with the first stage.

Conclusion: The diversified multi-stage assessment model of nursing undergraduate based on cognitive learning theory had effectively improved the teaching quality and effect, stimulated and promoted the students' ability to acquire knowledge actively, transform knowledge and evaluate theirself learning effects.

Abstract:

Purpose : The turnover rate of nurses in 2016 was 10.9%. The reason for this decrease was that they thought there was no work motivation. This research clarifies factors that affect Japanese nurses’ work motivation.

Method: I conducted an interview with 16 nurses. During the interview, the nurses were asked questions regarding factors that made them feel work motivation . The interview was recoded to create a verbatim report of each session. The resulting verbatim data were qualitatively analyzed.

Result: Factors that made nurses feel work motivation were "feedback from patients," "time at which they are involved with patients," "patient recovery," "communication," "good relationships in the workplace," and  "relationships with supervisors."

Discussion: In Japan, nurses are currently staffed at a nurse:patient ratio of 1:7 in hospitals, and nurses cannot be sufficiently involved with patients because of the insufficiency of the number of nurses. This result suggests that the work motivation of nurses will increase if they can be involved with patients for a longer period of time.

Conclusion: Work motivation has been shown to enhance employees' intention to continue working and also to be closely related to job retention and company performance improvement. Because motivation for a job increases work motivation, it is desirable to improve the workplace environment so that nurses can spend more time to involve themselves with patients.

Nozaki has completed her PhD. from Waseda University. She is a Professor and her specialty is Nursing Education.            

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem:　With the change of medical structure due to the arrival of a super-aged society, team medical care and interprofessional collaboration are required in Japan. According to the national nursing model core curriculum, interprofessional collaboration among health, medicine and welfare fields is positioned as a part of basic qualities and abilities of nursing profession. Thus, it is expected for undergraduate students to learn fundation of interprofessional collaboration. For instance, working as a team with all related areas of professions to understand roles of each team member, and to practice teamworking skills such as taking roles of a leader and a coordinator of the team.

However, effective educational methods for team building of interprofessional are not well-developed. Although some attempts have been made by introducing Team STEPPS, it is not enough to foster the basic abilities for interprofessional collaboration because it aims to foster culture of medical safety. Therefore, team building through experiencing the process of the problem solving practice by groups will lead to better interprofessional collaboration. This study aims to develop a methodology for team building through the process of problem solving by groups.

Methodology & Theoretical Orientation:　 We have been done several trial studies using the Root Cause Analysis (RCA) with newly appointed faculty members and Indonesian healthcare professionals. According to the results, it is needed to reinforce the ambiguous part of RCA by adding evaluability assessment (EA) method. In this presentation, we propose a draft of modified version RCA, and we would like to exchange opinions with participants.

Abstract:

This study aims to examine the associations of  job burnout, resilience and patient safety culture in nurse staffs. The participants are the nursing staff of a medical center in Taipei. The assessment tool is a self-administrated structure questionnaire. A total of 275 nurses completed the questionnaire. The main findings are as follows:

1. The extent of job burnout is between middle to high level; resilience score is above average and the attitude toward patient safety culture is within negative and neutral area.
2. In terms of job burnout, emotional exhaustion is the most severe

and next is the low personal accomplishment and lacking humanity. There is a significant difference of burnout socres by age, patient number, seniority, and salary.  

3. No significance  found  in  scores of  resilience by sociodemographic background .
4. Regarding the patient safety culture, no significant difference was found. Nevertheless, there exist significant differences in seniority on the scores of safety atmosphere, age on the cognition of stress and work place on the perception of management.
5. Results from the structure equation model analysis found that job burnout has a direct effect on patient safety culture. Moreover, resilience has a mediation effect on relationship between job burnout and patient safety culture, indicating that the mediation effect is partial.

Abstract:

High fidelity simulation allows multiple learning objectives to be conducted in a realistic clinical environment safe and harmless to the patients. Students are introduced to realistic situations which take place in either a community or a hospital and need to combine comprehensively their assessment and decision making with discussion, teamwork and joint effort in order to achieve the best management for the simulated patients (Wilford & Doyle,2006).

The use of simulation in the nursing education for critical care has been progressively accepted across Taiwan in the past years. The Nursing Department of Shin-Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital in Taipei designed a simulation curriculum in the education for critical nursing care and has been applying it from 2012 through 2016. The simulation teachers developed many different pathways to lead the young nurses to practice and acquire decision-making skills through realistic situations in which group communication, discussion, and teamwork were mandatory to manage properly complex situations such as ethical dilemmas, patient's safety issues, AMI, CVA with rt-PA treatment, acute intoxication, hyperkalemia in hemodialysis patients, and accidental extubation. 

The instructors led the nurses to discuss their clinical problems and different opinions before a debriefing in the workshop. Approximately 80 nurses participated in each session of the curriculum in the above- mentioned period of time and the satisfaction of the trainees was as high as 91%.

High fidelity simulation can consolidate the nursing practice, improve the critical care skills, professional competence, and ultimately, self-confidence of the nursing staff.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: The risk of the occurrence of a large-scale earthquake in Japan in the near future is increasing. The estimated damage of an M 7.3 earthquake with Tokyo Bay as the epicentre at 6 p.m. in the winter (wind speed 8 m) in Ota Ward, Tokyo, alone is predicted to be 11,108 destroyed buildings, 32,218 burn injuries, 1,073 fatalities, and 10,412 injured and 1,655 critically injured patients.

Methodology Orientation: In this study, we developed a system that simulates the number of critically injured people likely to be hospitalised in the five disaster base hospitals in Ota Ward during a large earthquake and examined its usability.

The system is based on specialised software with map functions, and it has the following four features.

 Based on the database published by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the map colour codes the comprehensive degree of risk.

 The number of critically injured who are likely to be hospitalised in the five disaster base hospitals are estimated and indicated on the map.

 Simulations are developed for 5 a.m., 12 p.m., and 6 p.m.

 Simulations are developed for 24, 48, and 72 hours after the occurrence of the disaster.

Finding: Our estimates demonstrated that the number of critically injured patients hospitalised at the disaster base hospitals during an earthquake could be as much as 20 times the usual levels.

Conclusion &Significance: Based on the interviews of hospital officials, we confirmed that this simulation system could be helpful in responding to large-scale earthquakes.

Hsin-nan Hsieh has completed her master ‎master degree from National Taipei University  of  Nursing and Health Sciences . She is a education nurse  at SHIN KONG WO HO-SU memorial hospital. Her major is  critical nursing care developement, and nursing education planned , include Clinical Ladder Systems for Nurses program, teacher education program and New personnel Training Course and so on.  

Abstract:

Integrated care emerges as the most crucial trend in healthcare. Patient-centered care has now made therapy to center stage in discussions of quality (Wollersheim & Faber, 2012). However, insufficient knowledge on medical care and lack of communication techniques lead to poor quality care. A survey by The Hospital among NPGY (Nurse of post-graduated year) in June, 2013 discovered individual learning performance on Capability of Clinical Care and Effective Communication Between Providers & Patients dropped to 78.4% and 78.6% from 80.7% and 80.1% in 2012 respectively. In order to enhance clinical care capability, The Hospital introduces integrated care training programs, including shared-care and Objective Structured Clinical Examination(OSCE) applied to cross-functional teams. They are expected to reinforce skills for nurses of post-graduated year, as well as offer professional approaches for healthcare providers more knowledge in other associated categories and then enhance overall medical quality.

NPGY Individual Core Performance Assessment result indicates that Capability of Clinical Care and Effective Communication Between Providers & Patients arrive at 84.5% and 83.8% in 2016, higher than 78.4% and 78.6% in 2013. In terms of medical care, clinical care quality in the aspects of fall prevention comes to 99.3%, better than 94.0% in 2013.

The Hospital, implements Integrated Care Program, including shared care models and OSCE evaluation in order to enhance patient-centered medical care. On the one hand, OSCE evaluation is applied to increase NPGY clinical care capability; on the other hand, it also helps strengthen nursing workforce, especially in the circumstances of high rate of nurse turnover in the recent decade.

Abstract:

Evidence-based nursing (EBN) is an approach to nursing practice intended to optimize decision-making by emphasizing the use of evidence from well-designed and well-conducted research. It also a scientific method promoted worldwide for solving patient’s problems. Educational training courses incorporating EBN have been used to upgrade the capacity of evidence-based nursing care. The purpose of this study was to understand the effects of EBN training program for new nursing staff in 2016-2017 of a medical center in Taipei. The training program included lecture, e-learning, and give guidance by instructor.

The assessment tool is a self-administrated structure scoring list and the minimum passing mark is 60. Oxford (UK) CEBM Levels of Evidence was in quality appraisal. A total of 92 nurses completed the Evidence-based nursing report. The main findings are as follows:

1. The quality of evidence is mostly 1b in the 92 topics.
2. Most topics all were searched by evidence data base, included CoChrane, PubMed.
3. The competence of formulate the question, search the evidence data base, search the literature, appraisal the literature, draw a conclusion about the preferred practice, application in clinical sitting, and to provide specific recommendations based on the results is between middle to high level.
4. The competence of describe the key words is between low to middle level.
5. No significance  found  in  scores of  EBN report by socio-demographic background .
6. Results from the scoring analysis found that describe the key words is more difficult for new nursing staff. It could provide recommendations and strategies of future designing the EBN training program for new clinical nurses and as a reference for the nursing educators.

Abstract:

According to theorists of Nightingale and Watson, creating healing environment is benefit for both patients and nurses. Most of nurses were lack of comprehensive understanding of a healing environment. The Respiratory Care Center(RCC) is a subacute care facility provides pulmonary rehabilitation program to prolong ventilation weaning patients. Providing a healing environment can often be a challenge in RCC due to daily training and exercising. Strategies of quiet time are dim down the light and reduce the noise level with two block of time. The aim of this project is to enhance the conception of nursing care in providing healing environment in RCC.

From October 2016 to April 2017, the project team designed an education program with pretest-posttest evaluation which based on quiet time and conducted to nurses from RCC. The primary outcome was the pretest-posttest evaluation of nurses.

In our project, we demonstrated  that the conception of providing healing environment can improved by education programs. We surmise that the lower mean scores in senior nurses were attributed to work fatigue and overload non-clinical working. Despite the daily pulmonary rehabilitation is important to patients with prolong ventilation weaning in the RCC, providing an adequate healing environment has beneficial to recovering. The concept of providing healing environment should be keep prompting and emphasizing for nurses.

Oyamada has completed her PhD from St Luke’s College of Nursing. She is a Professor and her specialty is Nursing Education.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: In the past twenty years, the number of universities offering faculty of nursing is rapidly increasing. However, despite this rapid increase in the number of nursing universities, there is still a shortage of nursing teachers. In addition, there has been some reports that Faculty Development (or FD)  programs are not comprehensive enough to produce competent nursing teachers. As a result, many young teachers particularly assistant professors were unable to acquire necessary teaching skills and develop expertise that make them leave the university after a few years of practicing their profession.

In response to these circumstances, the Japan Association of Nursing Programs in Universities (or JANAP) proposed some guidelines for the FD of young nursing faculties. To support this goal, Chiba University developed "FD Mother Map" and disseminated it to nursing universities in Japan.

Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: With the help of these guidelines and literature review, the team is working on the development of a career ladder which serves as a reference standard for newly appointed assistant professors. These guidelines also aim to develop their competencies through on/off the job training while receiving support from their superiors and mentors.

In this presentation we would like to announce the process and draft of the career ladder and exchange opinions with participants.
