science and put it into practice, based on their expertise, skills and on their
scientific knowledge.
Key Features
In a master’s program, two courses have been established aiming at fostering
nursing practitioners who can reform and develop existing nursing practice through
their leadership, research and education.
・Therapeutic Nursing Intervention Course
This course is designed to foster human resources who can provide nursing care based on human caring, and contribute to the reform and development of clinical nursing practice in terms of clinical judgement, decision-making, nursing interventions, and evaluation in nursing practice.
・Nursing Management Course
This course is designed to foster human resources who can challenge existing nursing
management systems, and create an innovative approach to regulating the nursing workforce
and their tasks in the areas of quality/risk control, human resource development, and
hospital administration and system enhancement, while taking care of the well-being of
nursing staff based on caring principles.
The doctor’s course is designed to develop students’ research and educational abilities which were cultivated in the master’s course, to turn their attention to acquiring
the knowledge of various academic fields adjacent to nursing, as well as both national
and international movements in nursing and medical sciences, and to expand
students’ horizons to encourage them to study research questions comprehensively and
from a variety of perspectives.
Moreover, the course enables students to accumulate evidence on research questions
through laboratory research and epidemiological studies, and fosters their abilities
to apply this to clinical nursing care, management, and education. Moreover,
the course further develops and deepens their expertise.
In addition, the course fosters researchers and educators who can intuitively apply
the various theories and knowledge which are useful for nursing, and who can
contribute to the development of nursing science through a comprehensive horizon
and deepened expertise.
