Introduction: The aims of this study were to clarify the characteristics and examine measures for improving the nursing practice competencies of home health nurses. Methods : A narrative review was conducted to analyze the definitions of key elements that constitute the competencies in nursing practice of home health nurses in Japan. Results: The competencies of home healthcare nurses were based on professional attitudes, knowledge, and skills. The characteristics of these competencies were demonstrated in daily life in the practice of home health care. The following common elements were extracted from more than half of the seven articles reviewed: “support for users and their families with independence and individuality,” “utilization of the health care system, social resources, and inter-professional collaboration,” “basic professional attitude and demeanor as a home health nurse,” and “risk management for disaster and infection.” Conclusion: The development of these four elements of nursing practice in the training of home healthcare nurses should be prioritized. To improve the competencies of home healthcare nurses, on-the-job training that focuses on the individuality of users and opportunities for team management should be provided. In the training of newcomers, competencies should be achieved based on their attitude as professionals and risk management skills.

Introduction : The aim of this study was to clarify the process by which family physicians succeed their parents in their familyʼs clinic and issues that successors experience during this process. Methods : Subjects were certified family physicians in Japan who either succeeded their parents in their clinics or were working regularly at their familyʼs clinic and were planning to succeed their parents. Participants were recruited through a certified family physician mailing list or privately contacted, and participated in a semi-structured individual interview. The text of the interviews was thematically analyzed. Results : Twelve participants were interviewed. All were male. Seven participants succeeded their parents. Family physicians succeeding their parents in their clinics felt implicit expectations towards succession from their family members and communities, which made them think that succession was the goal. They realized that they had no ability to decide on the timing of succession, clinics have customs and continuity, predeces-sors have different ideas about professionalism, and family businesses are complex. They felt conflict, espe-cially about predecessors, in their emotions towards family members and ideas based on professionalism. Conclusion : We clarified the process of succession by family physicians in their familyʼs clinic, and the issues and conflicts they face during this process.

Introduction : Tetanus is a highly fatal infection that causes tonic convulsions. Although magnesium sulfate may be effective as a treatment option for myopathic symptoms, there is little knowledge regarding its use. Therefore, this study assessed the use of magnesium sulfate for patients with tetanus requiring critical care management. Methods: Using multiple mailing lists of registered physicians in Japan, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the conditions during which magnesium sulfate was used for patients with tetanus requiring critical care management. An internet questionnaire form service was utilized. Results: The number of targets in this study was 24,266 and responses were received from 604 physicians, 252 of whom treated patients with tetanus requiring critical care management. In total, 126 of the above physicians used magnesium sulfate for tetanus. Conclusion: Magnesium sulfate was used for a substantial number of patients with tetanus requiring critical care management. To establish the utility of magnesium sulfate as a tetanus treatment option, further evidence is required.

Introduction : The purpose of this study was to identify factors that affect the expression of opinions regarding choices in end-of-life medical services by community-dwelling elderly people. Methods : We mailed a self-administered questionnaire to 780 elderly people who participated in preventive care projects in two municipalities in the Kanto region. Results : Of the 368 respondents (response rate, 47.2%), we included 348 who provided valid responses (valid re-sponse rate, 94.6%) in the analysis. We performed logistic regression analysis to identify factors influencing the expression of opinions regarding choices in end-of-life medical services. As a result, the experience of being at someoneʼs deathbed was an influencing factor (p=0.046, OR=1.576). Conclusion : The factor affecting the expression of opinions regarding choice in end-of-life medical services was the experience of being at someoneʼs deathbed.

Introduction: To visualize the damage to primary care facilities in Miyazaki prefecture caused by the Nankai Trough earthquake by collating GIS data and to propose feasible countermeasures based on the estimated damage. Methods: The merged data of the estimated tsunami damage downloaded from the service for numerical information on national land use created by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism were combined with the data of medical institutions collected from the regional medical information system of the Japan Medical Association. Results: Of the 721 clinics and 140 hospitals, 139 clinics and 31 hospitals were affected, with 521 and 4,713 beds, respectively. By medical area, regions in which more than 50% of the clinics and hospitals were affected included the northern region of Nobeoka Nishi-usuki (clinics, 58.7%; hospitals, 60.0%) and Hyuga Irigo (clinics, 84.2%; hospitals, 61.5%), revealing a disproportionate estimate of damage. Conclusion: To deal with long-term damage, joint operation among regional facilities in neighboring prefectures is essential for a community continuity plan. Care facilities can take initiatives for cooperative disaster risk reduction planning with residents. 1)宮崎大学医学部看護学科統合臨床看護科学講座精神看護領域 2)宮崎大学医学部臨床神経科学講座精神医学分野 3)気仙沼市立本吉病院 4)筑波大学医学医療系地域総合診療医学 5)みちのく総合診療医学センター 著者連絡先:原田奈穂子 宮崎大学医学部看護学科統合臨床看護科学講座精神看護領域[〒889-1692宮崎県宮崎市清武町木原 5200] email: nahoko-harada@umin.ac.jp (受付日:2020年 5月 12日,採用日:2020年 10月 21日) C2021日本プライマリ・ケア連合学会

In 2019, a team composed of medical and health economics educators and a family medicine trainee from the Department of Community and Family Medicine, Fukushima Medical University, and the School of International and Public Policy, Hitotsubashi University, Japan, embarked on a study tour to Toronto, Canada, a leading country in family medicine education and training. During this tour, the team visited the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto and affiliated hospitals to observe family medicine training in practice, which included video review and feedback for trainee development. In addition, they visited a practice attached to a legal clinic, with subsequent learning about the medico-legal interface and responsibilities of Canadian family doctors. The team gained first-hand insight into family medicine training along with an understanding of a healthcare system that values primary care.
