(Summary) The "construction of a community-based comprehensive care system for mental disorders" has been promoted in Japan. However, nurses in psychiatric hospitals do not intervene with community resources and support networks in Japan. This study aimed to determine the care information required by home visit nurses from psychiatric hospital nurses. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine psychiatric home-visiting nurses, and content analysis was performed to analyze the data. Findings revealed 319 narratives about the information that psychiatric home-visiting nurses seek from psychiatric hospital nurses, which were classified into six main categories. Information needed for home-visiting nurses to provide care includes the following : 1) to build trust with home-visiting service users, 2) to help home-visiting service users live according to their wishes, 3) to help home-visiting service users continue treatment in the community, 4) to perform symptom management, 5) to provide family care, and 6) to protect the safety of home visiting nurses during home visits. Nurses in psychiatric hospitals should communicate this information to nurses who provide psychiatric home care. This will improve the quality of continuing care for home care users and support their recovery in community living. J. Med. Invest. 71 : 162-168, February, 2024.

(Summary) Assessing the professional interpersonal competency of novice nurses is crucial for preventing staff turnover and promoting effective work. However, none of the instruments identified in the literature specifically target novice nurses. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically test the perception dimension of the Professional Interpersonal Competency Assessment Scale for Novice nurses (PICASN) in Japan. The study comprised four steps: 1) concept identification, 2) item construction, 3) validity measure, and 4) reliability measure. A cross-sectional web-based questionnaire was administered from February to April 2023 and was completed by 203 novice nurses. Data quality was assessed using mean, item response, missing values, floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency, and item-rest correlations. Content validity index (CVI) was used to determine the instrument's validity, while exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using maximum likelihood estimation with Promax rotation was employed to assess the factor structure. Cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate reliability. The 27-item PICASN demonstrated an Item-CVI of 0.94 and a Scale-CVI of 0.88. EFA revealed two factors: 1) Basic competencies as a novice nurse (15 items) and 2) Relationship building skills within the healthcare team (12 items), which explained 80% of the variance. Internal consistency reliability was excellent at 0.94 and 0.91 for the factors, and the overall scale reliability was 0.95. The item-rest (I-R) correlation values exceeding 0.6 were considered acceptable. The PICASN demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties, making it an effective tool for measuring professional interpersonal competency among novice nurses in Japan. This instrument serves to assist novice nurses by promoting self-awareness and offering targeted insights into specific areas requiring improvement. Additionally, it provides experienced nurses and nurse managers with valuable insights into team dynamics, guiding interventions for continuous quality improvement.

(Summary) Aging and its associated problems related to movement impacts the care of people with psychiatric disorders. This study sought to clarify the usefulness of 2D video analysis for evaluating shoulder range of motion (ROM) during upper limb exercises in patients with psychiatric disorders. Subjects (N=54) were patients with psychiatric disorders categorized as the following:having either a high or low activities of daily living (ADL) score using the Barthel Index;experiencing shoulder ROM limitation, and whether or not compensatory movements were exhibited. Compensatory movement was also considered in patients with Parkinsonism, cerebrovascular disease, and cognitive dysfunction. Shoulder joint ROM was measured using a goniometer and active ROM was captured using ImageJ. No significant difference between passive ROM measured by a goniometer and active ROM measured by ImageJ considering disease groups, ADL level, and shoulder ROM limitation was found. Factoring in compensatory movements, however, significant differences were found between passive and active ROM:existence compensatory movement group, left side (z=-2.30, p=0.02);nonexistence compensatory movement group, right side (z=-2.63, p<0.001). Image-evaluating devices help assess ROM in patients with psychiatric disorders, enhancing the development of physical rehabilitation programs to regain critical ADL, sustaining self-care capabilities.

Epifania, Hirokazu Ito and Rozzano De Castro Locsin : Reimagining quarantine: Assuring hopefulness in nursing and healthcare, Nursing Inquiry, Vol.e12481, 1-11, 2021. (Summary) This article aimed to explore issues of concern related to quarantine, its social consequences and influences, challenging its effects on human behavioral expressions during social isolation. The advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic impacted human lives in multifarious ways, threatening the meaning of normalcy. Quarantine, lockdown, isolation, and other terms reflecting conditions limiting human freedoms have become synonymous in importance to safety, security, and survival. To understand human defiance in the face of maintaining limited mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic, reimagining situations of "unfreedoms" is explained as thinking of changes to inspire and improve the meaning of living lives meaningfully. During the pandemic, issues regarding healthcare practices and social behaviors focused much attention on interactive challenges that enhance ways to mitigate the spread of contagious diseases. Illuminating these issues, discussing concerns and highlighting recommendations to engage in alternative approaches and practices, heightens the declaration of efficiency of quarantine outcomes and effectiveness. Implications are proposed with the hope that they may lead the way forward in exercising contemporary healthcare practices.

Ong, Yueren Zhao and Tetsuya Tanioka : Rehabilitation care with Pepper humanoid robot:A qualitative case study of older patients with schizophrenia and/or dementia in Japan, Enfermería Clínica, Vol.30, No.1, 32-36, 2020. (Summary) Humanoid robots are increasingly deployed in various health facilities to complement long-term care in Japan. Although this technology influx is still in its infancy, many health providers are optimistic about its capabilities. Thus, it is crucial to investigate its preliminary utilization and effects as precautionary measures in understanding the use of humanoid technology in healthcare. The study intends to describe the rehabilitation care experience for older patients with schizophrenia and/or dementia in the use of Pepper humanoid robot. A qualitative case study was conducted to explore the rehabilitation recreational activities of older patients with schizophrenia and/or dementia (n=9) in geriatric health facilities. After securing ethical clearance, observational data were recorded and analyzed using a case-oriented understanding and framework of reaction, interaction, and benefaction. Reaction focuses on their attitudes and impressions toward Pepper. During the rehabilitation and recreational sessions, interaction deals with the relationship between older patients with schizophrenia and/or dementia, Pepper, and providers. Lastly, benefaction reflects the actual health outcome of the reaction and interaction with Pepper. As observed, humanoid robots can elicit simple and individual instructions for simple activities (e.g. exercise) and start the simple conversation (question-answer loop) with its subjects. However, deploying humanoid robots in long-term care requires numerous improvements in robotic technology to elicit an increase in communication and other physical activities, motivation, and a sense of calmness from its clients.

(Summary) Our research group studies on care and rehabilitation using Care Robots(CRs). Legal issues arising from these CRs are diverse. In this paper, we examined legal issues that should be considered in each stage ; manufacturing, processing, installation, use, deterioration, and disposal of CRs, and especially the cases where CRs as medical devices cause damage to patients. Thus, this paper pointed out the subjects as below : ``Product Liability Act mainly and secondary general tort law in the manufacturing stage'', ``Defect liability in the processing stage'', ``General tort law in the installation stage'', ``Obligation of security or faulty performance responsibility in the use stage'' and ``Personal Information Protection Law at the disposal stage''. In addition, we suggested the presumed issues that should be examined and indicated the direction of the way of thinking. This study will contribute to creating safety guidelines for the future use of CRs.

(Summary) Not much is known about the self-perceptions of persons using prosthetic devices. The purpose of the literature review was to explore the self-perceptions of persons living with visible artificial devices from published articles between 2010 and 2017. Using key words to search for published literature in the PubMed,CINAHL, IEEE Proceedings, and Scopus indices showed 680 articles. Braun and Clarke's six phases of qualitative thematic analysis were used on 25 articles meeting the inclusion criteria, revealing 29 data extracts (themes) as data summaries. Three key thematic categories were revealed : Body image and ownership, integration of prosthetic device into the self-body, and suspended enjoyment or delight, reflecting the longings for completeness affecting persons' use of prosthetic devices. Consistent with self-perceptions understood through social biases and customs, completeness is achieved through the happy paradox of a person made whole through artificial devices. This experience informs nursing practice in helping people find meaning in their life. Further research into selfperceptions with prosthetic devices is essential, particularly those reflecting the cultural influences of artificial devices on quality of life.

(Summary) Healthcare for older adults is a significant problem in Japan and in other developed countries. To address this problem, healthcare robots, now realized, can assist and meet healthcare and welfare practice demands. The aim of this study was to clarify characteristics of Transactive Relationships (TR) in older adults, in care workers as intermediaries, and Pepper (Softbank Robotics Corporation) a robot equipped with the application program of Care Prevention Gymnastics Exercises for Pepper (Pepper-CPGE) made by Xing Company, Japan. Data were collected by observing TRs between Pepper and older patients in Kagawa Prefecture,Japan between from May 8 to August 1 2018. The Transactive Relationship Theory of Nursing (TRETON) was used to explain how Pepper-CPGE led the exercises with older adults as physical exercises. The role of PepperCPGE was to provide instructions for the older adults in performing gymnastic exercises. During the exercising activity, care workers were present to prevent falls of the older adults, and to operate and observe the video presentations by supporting and caring for the participants. In using Pepper-CPGE, it was possible to change the role of the healthcare providers, originally thought to contribute to increasing the quality of older adult care and their rehabilitation. J. Med.

(Summary) The Perceived Inventory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (PITCCN) based on Locsin's theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (TCCN, 2005) was developed (Kato et al. 2016) and revised by Miyamoto et al. (2017). The purpose of this study was to verify criterion-related validity of PITCCN using the Practice of Caring Behavior Questionnaire (PCBQ, Shigehisa, 2007). The study was approved by the Ethical Review Board of Tokushima University Hospital. Data were collected from September 2017 to October 2017. Of the 402 questionnaire copies distributed, only 299 copies were returned and analyzed to determine correlations between total score value and Mean Factor Point of each factor for PITCCN and PCBQ. These were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Statistical significance was at .01 levels. Strong positive correlation coefficient was obtained between total score values (r=.76, p?.01) and factors of PITCCN and PCBQ (r=.19 to .68, p?.01) , except the PITCCN's factor 3 : "Utilization of information obtained from technology and continuous knowing" and PCBQ's factor 6 : "Enriched relationships between patient and nurse", (r=.13, not significant). From these results, the criterion-related validity of PITCCN as the inventory of TCCN could be confirmed. J. Med. Invest. 66 : 42-45, February, 2019.

(Summary) The purpose of this research was to develop the Perceived Inventory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing(PITCCN)for Intensive Care Unit(ICU)nurses. The inventory has twenty three item statements derived from Locsin's theory on caring. The research study received approval from the University of Tokushima Hospital Clinical Study Ethical Review Board (Approval No.2585). The time frame was from September2016to November2016. Copies of the Inventory were sent to426ICU nurses working in hospitals in Japan. Only308questionnaire copies were returned with no missing value(response rate was72%). Factor analysis(principal factor analysis, varimax rotation), the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin(KMO)and the Bartlett's test of Sphericity were used to assess the adaptive validity of the factor analysis. Factor loadings were set at0．4or more for the configuration of items. Internal consistency and reliability were established using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Statistical significance was at0．05level. Four factors were extracted and labelled as(1)Training of nurses to provide optimal care,(2)empirical knowledge and whole human knowing,(3)Utilization of information obtained from technology and continuous knowing, and(4)Intentional and ethical nursing of persons. Cronbach's alpha was 0．894 for the questionnaire(20 items)and 0．869, 0．872, 0．876, and 0．734, for the four factors respectively. This showed that the over-all data obtained high internal consistency for each factor. The KMO sample adequacy was0．88and the Bartlett's test of sphericity was p<0．001. These results showed that the Perceived Inventory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing was reliable.

(Summary) It is important that inter-professional team work is established as the cooperation and collaboration of members in order to provide high-quality care. The purpose of this research was to describe the changes in the awareness of students in nursing science and radiological science regarding their clinical practice activities of body positioning and transfer care through interprofessional education. In 2015, first grade nursing students and third grade radiological students in a local university jointly practiced changing body positions and transfer care of patients. They answered a fourteen-item questionnaire about inter-professional education before and after the changing activities. This research was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Review Committee of the Tokushima University Hospital. Of the 105 questionnaire copies distributed, 102 copies were returned but only 89 copies were complete with no missing values and were analyzed using the paired t-test statistic. Inter-professional education provided the following effects : understanding of the ethics of other professions, understanding rational behavior of other occupations, usefulness of educational conference, the necessity of trusting other occupations, understanding the need to work hard on their own jobs, understanding mutual and complementary work, awareness of incompetence, awareness of the importance of team approach, and the usefulness of multi-disciplinary cooperative practice. This study illuminated the necessity of providing opportunities for engagements among students of other professions through lectures and practice of skills using inter-professional education values prior to professional practice in the hospital.

(Summary) It is imperative that a concern of physical function is addressed such as ability to walk, and how the disease and the sophistication of artificial devices influence person's quality of life(QOL). A woman in her 50s who has a lower limb prosthetic device after amputation. She lived with this prosthesis for more than 20 years. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. The findings of the study revealed that hoping for a better QOL can be lost due to unbearable suffering from adverse reactions during chemotherapy. This lived experience made her decide to discontinue chemotherapy giving her greater than expected grief experience than her postamputation. Watchful ambulation became distinctive and purposive with each step so as not to fall. This walking style was to show her normal gait, rather than worrying about the gaze from people. Furthermore, it was found that feelings of incompleteness still existed even with the prosthetic device. This was often attributed to the physical pain and discomfort while wearing this device even while knowing that she is now a whole person. Still she felt incomplete in the moment. Visible artificial device becoming her essential part, provided a meaningful life that enabled her to grow with the family.

(Summary) The current state of employment of nursing staff at psychiatric hospitals is beset with patient care problems such as of shortage of nurses and the increasing number of older nurses.Considering these situations, Nurse administrators in psychiatric hospitals are challenged to increase the number of younger nurses as a solution towards improving the staffing shortage thereby enhancing quality of nursing services. The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of psychiatric hospitals that newly graduated nurses found to be a good place to practice their profession. A survey was conducted using a questionnaire which was provided to 277 sychiatric hospital nurse administrators. About 40% of the 234 hospitals administrators who responded employed newly graduated nurses. Employment of newly graduated nurses was significantly related to hospitals with 200 beds or more than 200 beds or less(x2 ＝35.37∼13.75,φ＝0.40∼0.25, p<0.001). The characteristics of a psychiatric hospital where newly graduated nurse found to be a good place to practice their profession enters are as follow(: 1)Hospital Nursing staff taught courses in psychiatric nursing at the newly-graduated nurses nursing school/nursing college( 2)The students had their clinical experience at the particular psychiatric hospital and(3)The hospital has employed a Certified Nurse Specialist or Certified Nurse in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. A useful approach to the employment of newly graduated nurses in psychiatric hospitals were suggested as follow(: 1)To establish a procedure in which the essence and appeal of psychiatric nursing are recognized, such as promoting psychiatric clinical practice settings and providing staff to conduct lectures at particular nursing education institutions and(2)To nurture and recognize nurses who have become excellent role models.

(Summary) The purpose of this survey was to determine nurse administrators and hospital directors' perspectives about nurses' abilities in performing specific medical practices in hospitals in Tokushima Prefecture. The nurse administrators and hospital directors of all hospitals (113 hospitals) in Tokushima Prefecture were invited to respond to a survey questionnaire by mail posted during the period between February and March of 2015. Responses were received from 46 nurse administrators (response rate, 41%) and 38 hospital directors (response rate, 34%). The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the narrative descriptions summarized. Majority of responses from nurse administrators and hospital directors were accepting that nurses have responsibilities for administering medicines such as tranquilizers, anti-anxiety and anticonvulsant drugs. This result was not affected by the size of the hospital, in which fifty four percent (54%) of respondents were from hospitals with less than 100 beds. In Japan, only hospitals with 100 beds or more may have procedures involving highly invasive treatments. Because of this, many of the respondents answered ``not applicable'' to statements in the questionnaire which were related to invasive treatments. Recruitment of nurses, strategies to cope with accidents and education curriculum were important concerns of nurse administrators and hospital directors which remain to be answered in future investigations.

(Summary) Nursing administration requires a large volume of wide-ranging information, and nurse administrators are limited in their ability to compile and analyze information for nursing administration. The purpose of this study is to create methodology for developing a nursing administration analysis system to aid nurse administrators in performing outcome analysis. In this methodology, information required for nursing administration in the PSYCHOMS? (Psychiatric Outcome Management System, registered trademark) database is analyzed according to the individual needs of nurse administrators. It features a combination of a classification method and an extraction method for obtaining quantitative and qualitative data as information required for nursing administration, and enables nurse administrators to easily obtain analysis results that they directly need. This methodology converts the time required nurse administrators to collect and organize information into time for making considerations in order to devise strategies for improving the quality of nursing care services, and can improve the quality and efficiency of nursing administration. This may lead to an increase of the quality of nursing care services at psychiatric hospitals. This methodology is highly versatile as it can be applied in information management, not only for nursing, but for the entire psychiatric hospital.

(Summary) The purpose of this study was to develop a rating scale for novice nurses' recognition of working environment. The survey questionnaire on working environment was sent to 810 novice nurses in the western region of Japan, of which 634 were returned with a response rate of 78%. A principal factor analysis with a varimax rotation was conducted on the final 16‐item scale and two factors (11‐items) were extracted. The Cronbach α coefficient for the total scale was 0．882, indicating high internal consistency. The first factor was named ``educational-support environment,'' and consisted of six items regarding instruction in the workplace, tackling issues, and relationship with managers, and the second factor was ``working environment satisfaction,'' which consisted of five items regarding human relationships in the workplace, relationship with patients, and vacation. The developed ``rating scale for novice nurses' recognition of working environment'' can easily evaluate the cognitive state of a subject's workplace environment. Therefore, it was considered that this scale was useful when examining working environment.

(Summary) 日本は人型ロボット開発が飛躍的に進んでおり，既に医用工学の観点から医療福祉ロボットの開発が進んでいる．しかし，看護の立場から，看護実践と医療福祉ロボットとの関係が明確にされていないまま医療現場に取り入れられつつある．看護者はこれらの高度医療機器の導入に対してどれほどの関心を示してきたのか疑問である．科学は，医療や看護実践上の倫理的・道徳的課題を十分に検討せずに進歩している部分がある．看護・医療・福祉の専門家，工学者が考える看護ロボットを看護師にとっても患者にとっても有意義なものとして活用するために看護ロボットの明確な倫理指針を作成するための問題提起を行った．本研究のリーダーとしてデータ収集から考察を担当した．
