The Study of The Training Programs for Foreign Nurses in Japan.

本研究以2名曾在日本受训的外籍护士和9名曾在其医院或机构参加过外籍护士培训的护士为研究对象，探讨在日本培训外籍护士的现状和存在的问题，并探讨有效的培训方案。本研究采用非结构式访谈法，访谈时间约1小时，研究结果如下：1）部分外籍实习护生存在因疲劳和环境变化引起的感冒等躯体症状，以及因担心家人尤其是孩子而引起的思乡等不稳定的心理状态。此外，他们的目的和培训方案的现实之间存在差距。2)对学员进行日常生活指导，安排好住房、交通、经济等生活条件。3)考虑了受训人员与工作人员之间的人际关系。4)日本培训师认为语言在培训项目中非常重要，他们根据学员的日语能力设计了交流和培训的方式。5)由于受训者的目的不明确，培训者感到难以掌握受训者的目的，并对教学和评价他们的方法感到关切。6)培训者对受训者持积极态度，但认为受训者对病人的日常护理意识不强，重视技术，在今后的外籍护士培训中，需要由懂一定语言的培训者对受训者的准备情况和目的进行评估，有针对性地制定计划，并根据目的进行评估。
