新しい「病院環境」に関する授業が学生に与えた影響

hospital environment

看護総合科学研究会誌

Students wrote free-form reports at the end of the new "hospital environment" class within introduction to nursing science. We analyzed content on the reports by Berelson's analysis, and identified student's learning outcome. Analysis identified the following 8 categories: A. interest in the new environment, architecture and hospital; B. discussion of the influence of environment on humans; C. recognition of relationships between nursing and environment; D. negative assessment of the new environment, architecture and hospital; E. future self-learning and goals; F. Intellectual stimuli from lecture and teacher; G. future development of nursing; H. interest in architecture and engineering. The study suggested that the class described above was useful to understand relationships among primary concepts in nursing, to recognize and develop motivation toward nursing, and to understand the importance in learning with a broad perspective.
