(Summary)
The purpose of this study was to clarify the current status of oncology certified nurse specialist(OCNS) involvement in cancer genome medicine. A survey of 235 OCNSs who consented to participate in the study revealed that those involved in cancer genome medicine had a better understanding of hereditary tumors. Through descriptive content analysis, 8 learning needs were identified in relation to cancer genome medicine. Among these needs,[ basic nowledge of hereditary tumors and cancer genome medicine], [regular acquisition of up-to-date information on genetic medicine], and[ genetic counseling in actual clinical settings] revealed no differences between OCNSs involved and not involved in genetic medicine. On the other hand,[ role of an OCNS in genetic medicine], [nursing care for patients and families with hereditary diseases], [systems and collaboration to incorporate genetic medicine into rganizations], [information on genetic medicine for facilities other than urban/designated hospitals], and[ programmed learning as a systematic approach to genetic medicine provided by academic societies] differed between the groups in terms of descriptive contents.

(Summary)
This retrospective study investigated the 3-year impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) of 2011 on deaths due to neoplasm, heart disease, stroke, pneumonia, and senility among older adults in the primarily affected prefectures compared with other prefectures, previous investigations having been more limited as regards mortality causes and geographic areas. Using death certificates issued between 2006 and 2015 ( = 7,383,253), mortality rates (MRs) and risk ratios (RRs) were calculated using a linear mixed model with the log-transformed MR as the response variable. The model included interactions between the area category and each year of death from 2010 to 2013. The RRs in the interaction significantly increased to 1.13, 1.17, and 1.28 for deaths due to stroke, pneumonia, and senility, respectively, in Miyagi Prefecture in 2011, but did not significantly increase for any of the other areas affected by the GEJE. Moreover, increased RRs were not reported for any of the other years. The risk of death increased in 2011; however, this was only significant for single-year impact. In 2013, decreased RRs of pneumonia in the Miyagi and Iwate prefectures and of senility in Fukushima Prefecture were observed. Overall, we did not find evidence of strong associations between the GEJE and mortality.

(Summary)
The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) was a disaster leading to radiation exposure and psychological distress, particularly among pregnant women. However, it is not known how this affected the seasonal changes of pregnancy and childbirth. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of the GEJE in the Fukushima Prefecture on spontaneous and induced abortions with regard to seasonal variability. We used the data of vital statistics of live birth and stillbirth registry and the census survey of the Fukushima Maternity Care Facility. We calculated the spontaneous and induced abortion rate for 2011-2016 using two different methods (cross-sectional and longitudinal). We calculated the quartiles and outliers to determine the impact and duration of the GEJE. Periodicity was investigated using spectral density analysis. The data were analyzed for the entire Fukushima Prefecture and by region. The spontaneous abortion rate did not show specific changes after the GEJE. Contrarily, the monthly analysis in the cross-sectional method, revealed specific increases in induced abortion rate during the year after the GEJE; in the longitudinal method, induced abortions increased among women who became pregnant within 1 year after the GEJE. Spontaneous abortion showed no specific periodicity, while induced abortion showed cycles of 6 and 12 months, with a particular increase in May each year. The spontaneous abortion rate was not affected by the GEJE. The changes in the induced abortion rate after the disaster may have overlapped with the timing of the increased periodicity, and cannot be attributed solely to the GEJE.

(Summary)
he aim of this study was to clarify the experience of recurrent/advanced cancer patients receiving outpatient cancer rehabilitation and find out how cancer rehabilitation can support cancer patients. The study was conducted by semi-structured interviews of 13 recurrent/advanced patients undergoing cancer rehabilitation during cancer chemotherapy. Six categories were extracted: [Finding the physical condition suitable for me] [Being unable to find movements that I can effectively utilize myself] [Being able to continue normal everyday life] [Showing people around me that I can still move] [Having fun actively moving my body] [Gives meaning to my present ``living'']. Characteristics of the experience of patients who have undergone cancer rehabilitation are: cancer patients can get a sense of control over their own bodily functions, they can move their own bodies autonomously, and it is a new opportunity to expand their own possibilities.

(Summary)
The 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (within Fukushima, Iwate, and Miyagi prefectures) was a complex disaster; it caused a tsunami and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, resulting in radiation exposure. This study investigated the earthquake's effects on the migration patterns of pregnant women and their concerns regarding radiation exposure. We also considered the following large-scale earthquakes without radiation exposure: Great Hanshin-Awaji (Hyogo prefecture), Niigata-Chuetsu, and Kumamoto. Pregnant women were categorized as outflow and inflow pregnant women. Data on the annual number of births three years before and after the earthquake were used as a denominator to calculate the outflow and inflow rates per 100 births. The odds ratios of annual outflow and inflow rates after the earthquake, using three years before the earthquake as the baseline, were calculated. The odds-ratio for outflow significantly increased for Hyogo, Fukushima, Miyagi, and Kumamoto prefectures after the earthquake, particularly for Fukushima, showing a significant increase until three years post the Great East Japan Earthquake (disaster year: odds-ratio: 2.66 [95% confidence interval: 2.44-2.90], 1 year post: 1.37 [1.23-1.52], 2 years post: 1.13 [1.00-1.26], 3 years post: 1.18 [1.05-1.31]), while the remaining three prefectures reported limited increases post one year. The inflow decreased after the earthquake, particularly in Fukushima, showing a significant decrease until 2 years post the Great East Japan Earthquake (disaster year: 0.58 [0.53-0.63], 1 year post: 0.76 [0.71-0.82], 2 years post: 0.83 [0.77-0.89]). Thus, pregnant women's migration patterns changed after large-scale earthquakes, suggesting radiation exposure concerns possibly have a significant effects. These results suggested that plans for receiving assistance and support that considers the peculiarities of disaster related damage and pregnant women's migration patterns are needed in both the affected and non-affected areas.
The purpose of this study was to characterize periods of hospital-to-home care transition for elderly cancer patients by extracting definitions of such periods and their characteristics as situations from the literature, and to discuss effective nursing support toward hospital-to-home care transition. Relevant research papers published within the period between 2010 and 2020 were searched for using Ichushi Web and PubMed. Descriptions related to periods of transition, characteristics of situations, and hindering/promoting factors were extracted without any changes and categorized based on descriptive content similarities. In these papers, a period of hospital-to-home care transition was described as 1 week to 1 year after discharge. As a situation, it was characterized as ``a time when the patient rebuilds his/her life'', and therefore, ``a time of instability''. Factors hindering and promoting hospital-to-home care transition were represented by6categories, which suggested the following commonalities between them : [ physical management],[patients'/families' intentions],[home care systems],[other family members' commitments to home care], [collaboration systems], and[nurses' home care experience].
