Gerontological Nursing
Outline
"Gerontological Nursing aims to support the elderly (and their families) living in various places such as at home, in nursing homes and in hospitals, and working in accordance with other professional care workers. We pay close attention to the health conditions and living environment of the elderly and try to help them live well until their last moments.
In student education, we provide lectures, exercises, and clinical training practicums (at nursing care insurance facilities and hospitals). Students learn how to provide nursing intervention to help the elderly live well. We help students acquire an aspirational attitude to develop their own sense of awareness toward the elderly and to acquire professionalism as a nurse, as well as to be equipped with the ability to think about the roles of nursing in elderly care and the future issues in the field of gerontological nursing.
In research activities, each member of the department has her own research topics and aims to contribute to the development of elderly care and to improve approaches for gerontological nursing education."
