Abstract

        In home nursing practice, we are practicing at a home-visit nursing station. In Japan, the number of home-visit nursing stations has increased in recent years. This is because the length of stay in hospitals has decreased and the number of patients receiving medical treatment at home has increased. The number of nurses working at home-visit nursing stations is scarce and always busy. We interviewed a nurse at a home-visit nursing office who accepted the training to find out what kind of changes the nursing students would have when they came to the training while the work was busy. Unlike hospital training, it is difficult to convey to nursing students the importance of etiquette when visiting the home of a patient who is undergoing medical treatment at home, and the nursing student accompanies the patient who is undergoing medical treatment at home. He told me that it was a stimulus. In addition, the visiting nurse also said that the presence of nursing students provided an opportunity to review her knowledge and skills, leading to better nursing. In the busy work, some nurses hoped that nursing students would choose to work as visiting nurses in the future. It turned out that the visiting nurse who answered the interview was thinking about deepening the learning of nursing students even though he was busy
