概要

論文の詳細を見る
The image of nurses in Japan essentially has not changed in over 50 years. While the health care system has changed technologically, the public image of a traditional nurse still remains one of a woman wearing a white nurse's uniform and a cap. The expanding need for more nursing services and a broader field of practice necessitates a shift from the traditional image. The purpose of this study was to review the current "fixed image" of nurses in Japan, and to analyze factors that may influence the future reformation of this image. Many complex, contributing factors were discovered. Social change, feminism, a shifting role of women in society and in health care appear to be influencing reform. Early similarities clearly exist if comparing the nursing image revolution in the USA to that of Japan today.
