Study on the Effect of the Education of Terminal Care/Grief at Universities and Colleges with a Course or a School of Social Welfare on the Technical Training for Support of Social Welfare

本研究旨在阐明在开设社会福利课程或学校的大学和学院开展临终关怀/悲痛教育的实际情况和教育的效果。同时，还对韩国的临终关怀教育课程和临终关怀以及美国和加拿大的家庭临终关怀体系进行了研究。在日本，很少有开设课程或社会福利学校的大学和学院将临终关怀教育作为一门独立课程提供。取而代之的是，其他课程的一部分包括临终关怀教育。由于分析了A大学提供的临终关怀和悲伤课程，该课程在理解人类方面是有效的教育，并提供了人类从出生到死亡的宗教、哲学、心理、社会和身体方面的广泛专业知识。另一方面，韩国的临终关怀教育开始于设有部分护理课程或学校的大学和学院，但没有在任何设有课程或社会福利学校的大学或学院实施这一教育。美国和加拿大的家庭终端护理系统已经达到了非常高的标准，这对考虑日本未来的家庭医疗非常有用。

This study was intended to clarify the actual status of the Education of Terminal Care/Grief at universities and colleges that have a course or a school of social welfare and the effect of the education. At the same time, research on the terminal care education curriculum and hospice care in Korea as well as on the home terminal care system in America and Canada, were also carried out. Few universities and colleges with a course or a school of social welfare in Japan provided education in terminal care as an independent course. Instead, a part of other courses was included education in terminal care. As a result of analyzing classes for terminal care and grief provided at A University, the course was effective as education in understanding human beings and providing a wide range of specialized knowledge in the religious, philosophical, psychological, social, and physical aspects of human beings from birth to death. On the other hand, terminal care education in Korea started at universities and colleges with nursing courses or schools in part ; however, the education was not implemented at any university or college with a course or a school of social welfare. The home terminal care system in America and Canada has reached a very high standard, which was very useful in considering future home healthcare in Japan.
