A Study on Information Technology Education and Developmentof CAI for Nursing Students

摘要本研究旨在探讨日本护理资讯学教育的现况与问题，重新思考日本护理资讯学基础教育的指导与架构，并在此基础上建构新的资讯科技教育体系。为此，本研究于2002年采用问卷调查的方式，对全国护生信息学课程设置、师资队伍、设备、课程设置、护理信息学教育意识等进行了调查。调查对象为日本1046所护理学校，调查对象的回复率为40.2%。调查结果显示，90.7%的受访学校为护理学生提供了信息学课程，82.9%的受访学校拥有自己的计算机教育系统。然而，只有13.1%的护士使用计算机辅助教学（CAI）， 4.0%的护士使用远程教育课程进行护理教学。因此，护理信息学已被认为是日本护理实践的必需品。然而，对学生护理信息学教育的重视不够。在护理信息学教育方面，应建立一些专项项目，进一步开展工作。作为一项试点研究，开发了社区护理实践的计算机辅助教学。为了研究该CAI对护理专业学生的教育效果。结果表明，该CAI在社区护理教学中具有较好的应用价值。在此基础上，我们探讨了护理信息学教育的框架和内容，并于2004年出版了新的护理学信息学教材。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual state and issues of nursing informatics education for the students in Japan, to reconsider a guideline and a framework of basic nursing informatics education for students, and to develop an educational system with new information technology based on these findings. For this purpose, a nation-wide survey was carried out on the course works, teaching faculty, equipments, programs of informatics for nursing students, and consciousness of nursing informatics education by questionnaires in 2002. Its subjects were 1,046 nursing schools in Japan and the response rate of the subjects was 40.2%. This survey revealed that 90.7% of the respondent schools provided their nursing students with the course works of informatics, and 82.9% had their own computer education systems. However only 13.1% used computer assisted instruction (CAI) and 4.0% had distance-education programs for teaching nursing. Therefore nursing informatics had been recognized as a necessity for the nursing practice in Japan. however nursing informatics education for the students had not been sufficiently addressed. Some special projects to promote nursing informatics education should be established and further work needs to be done. As a pilot study, a computer assisted instruction for community nursing practice was developed. To study educational effect of this CAI nursing students were selected. As a result, it was found that this CAI was useful for teaching community nursing. Based on these findings, We discussed the framework and content of nursing informatics education, and published a new textbook of informatics for nursing students in 2004.
