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

本研究的目的是检视在日外籍护士培训计划的现况及问题，并探讨有效的培训计划。研究对象为2名在日本接受培训的外籍护士和9名在本国医院和机构参加外籍护士培训项目的护士。研究方法为一小时左右的非结构化访谈。研究结果如下：1)部分外籍实习护士出现劳累、环境变化引起的感冒等生理症状，担心家人尤其是孩子引起的思乡等精神状态不稳定。此外，他们的目的和培训计划的现实之间也存在差距。(2)对学员进行日常生活指导，安排住宿、交通、经济等生活条件。3)考虑学员与工作人员之间的人际关系。(4)日语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来设计交流和培训的方式。(5)由于学员的目的不明确，培训师很难掌握学员的目的，关心教学和评估的方法。(6)培训师对实习生的态度是积极的，但认为实习生对病人的日常生活护理意识不强，把技术看得太重。在未来的外籍护士培训项目中，需要懂一些语言的培训师对学员的准备情况和目的进行评估，根据学员的目的进行针对性的规划和评估。
