Study on Differences in Nursing Techniques between Japan and Developing Countries

本研究的目的是为了弄清日本与发展中国家在护理和技术方面的差异，从而寻求适合各自受援国情况的国际护理合作。从日本国际协力事业团派遣到发展中国家的志愿护士的活动报告中选择来自日本的护理差异的描述，并进行半结构化访谈。根据一些报告（厚生劳动省）的基本护理和助产技能对数据进行了分类。许多发言涉及预防感染的技能。鉴于对护理的差异和可能影响实践的可能背景的描述，认为这些不同的护理实践可分为六类。

The purposes of this study are to clarify differences in nursing care and techniques between Japan and developing countries and thereby to pursue international nursing cooperation suited to the situations of respective recipient countries. Descriptions of nursing differences from Japan were selected from the activities reports of volunteer nurses dispatched by Japan International Cooperation Agency to developing countries and semi-structured interviews were also conducted. The data was categorized with reference to basic nursing and midwifery skills of some reports (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). Many statements concerned infection prevention skills. Given the descriptions on differences in nursing and probable background that may be affecting practices, it is considered that such different nursing practices may be classified in six categories.
