Objectives: In order to cope with a rapidly aging national population, the Japanese government promotes the use of a comprehensive community care system known as Kantaki, which was established in 2012. Aimed at older populations, Kantaki offers a variety of services, including home-visit nursing care, day care, and overnight care. This study clarified the factors that affect the estimated revenue of Kantaki services through a secondary analysis of detailed information released by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). Our goal was to provide information that may facilitate the stable management of Kantaki operations across Japan. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of official statistics data and detailed information released by the MHLW in April 2020. As such, we calculated the estimated revenue for Kantaki services. We then conducted a logistic regression analysis with estimated revenue set as the dependent variable in order to assess the magnitude of each influencing factor. Results: A total of 594 multifunctional in-home long-term care services were established. Of these, 506 met the requirements for Kantaki set in this study’s analysis. The logistic regression analysis showed that items with large odds ratios included tube feeding (2.59), enhanced working conditions for care workers (I) (2.58), and colostomy/ileostomy care (1.76). Conclusion: To achieve stable management practices for Kantaki, it is important to handle at-home medical needs through the use of skilled care workers, who must be properly trained and ensured stable employment.

Objectives: To assess the quality of life (QoL) in Japanese patients receiving standard chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer. Patients and Methods: This prospective observational study included 30 Japanese patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer (PS 0–1) who were starting standard first-line chemotherapy. QoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment for Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire, version 3.0. Anxiety and depression were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Assessments were performed at baseline, 2 weeks, and then monthly during chemotherapy. Results: At baseline, the global health status (GHS) score was low (50/100), and 9 patients (30%) were experiencing significant levels of mental distress. Scores for the GHS, five functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social), nine symptoms (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties), anxiety and depression generally did not deteriorate during chemotherapy. However, the QoL scores varied during chemotherapy according to the patients’ characteristics. Patients who achieved tumor control tended to have well-controlled QoL scores. A high survival rate was significantly associated with having a high baseline GHS score. Conclusions: Japanese patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer might maintain their QoL during standard chemotherapy, with tumor control being associated with well-controlled QoL. In addition, a high QoL at baseline was associated with a good prognosis.

Lecturer evaluation by students is one of the methods that are likely to provide important information in evaluating the “quality” of education. However, the current situation is that it is being promoted without investigation of reliability and validity. The purpose of this study is to verify the reliability, content validity, and construct validity of Shimonoseki city university Lecturer Evaluation Scale (SLES), which is a lecturer evaluation by students. The subjects were 1,286 students in the freshman to senior of economics. SLES is a comprehensive scale can be applied to three types of lectures: face-to-face lecture, simultaneous bidirectional lecture, and on-demand lecture. The reliability was verified using Cronbach’ s α co efficient, and construct validity was verified using structural equation modeling. As a result of the analysis, the reliability was 0.912 for the face-to-face type, 0.930 for the simultaneous bidirectional type, and 0.919 for the on-demand type. In terms of construct validity, a high degree of suitability was shown in all lecture form. This study suggests that SLES can be used effectively with undergraduate students. and on-demand lectures. Further investigation with large samples with larger sample size is recommended.

Conditions supporting the acquisition of verbs by children with Down syndrome were investigated from early childhood to lower grades of elementary school. Moreover, correlations between verb acquisition and parents’ approaches to their children were analyzed. Participants were parents having children with Down syndrome that had acquired meaningful words (n=27). The “words and grammar” version of the Japanese MacArthur Bates Communicative Development Inventories (JCDls) was administered to examine the parents’ involvement. The results indicated that when the total number of expressed vocabularies exceeded 200, the rate of acquiring verbs increased even in children with Down syndrome, which indicated that “200 words” was an important criterion. Moreover, results suggested that reading and writing letters and numbers as well as teaching children the polite use of language used by parents supported verb acquisition by children with Down syndrome. polite language.” Otomo et al. (2005) examined language development in TD children from early childhood to childhood and suggested “teaching polite language” might provide new perspectives and expression methods to children, which were not previously in the children’s repertory. The results of the present study suggest that parents’ approaches to DS children, i.e., teaching polite language, might increase expressive vocabulary words.
本研究调查了唐氏综合症儿童从幼儿到小学低年级的动词习得情况。此外,我们还分析了动词习得与父母对待孩子的方式之间的相关性。参与者是患有唐氏综合症的孩子的父母,他们已经学会了有意义的单词(n=27)。使用日本麦克阿瑟·贝茨交际发展量表(JCDls)的“单词和语法”版本来检查父母的参与。结果表明,当表达的词汇总数超过200个时,即使是唐氏综合症儿童,动词习得率也会增加,这表明“200个单词”是一个重要的标准。此外,研究结果表明,读写字母和数字以及教孩子礼貌地使用父母使用的语言有助于唐氏综合症儿童的动词习得。礼貌的语言。”Otomo et al.(2005)研究了TD儿童从幼儿期到儿童期的语言发展,认为“教授礼貌语言”可能会为儿童提供新的视角和表达方法,这是儿童以前没有的。本研究的结果表明,父母对残疾儿童的方法,即教授礼貌语言,可能会增加表达性词汇。

Objective: In this study, we clarified the current status of international nursing education at the national university and investigated issues related to education in the future. Method: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed by mail to the educators responsible for international nursing education (one per university) at 42 nursing departments of national universities. The survey period was from July 1 st to September 30 th 2016. Results: Responses were received from all 20 universities with full-time educators. For the 22 universities without full-time educators, information was collected by phone, email, and from the homepage of their specific university. As a result, information was obtained for all 42 universities. Of these, 85.7% implemented international nursing education and 52.4% have established it as a compulsory subject. In all, there were 61.9% universities with full-time nurses acting as academic advisors. Most of educators considered that “understanding of different cultures,” “world health policies,” and “content relating to international cooperation” were essential contents for education in the future. Discussion: As 52.4% of the universities that were surveyed treated international nursing as a compulsory subject, it is considered that whether or not one receives lectures on international nursing education is largely effected by the system of the university and the choice of the student. Regarding issues in the future, the construction of a curriculum aiming for the development of human resources with the capacity for practical application and rich in internationality is necessary.

The IN-Child means of “inclusive education needs child”. There is In-Child who shows remarkable difficulty in a behavior face about 3.6% in Japan (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 2012). However, there are a few concrete teaching programs to improve social skills according to the characteristics of ADHD tendency, and the effectiveness of its teaching programs has not yet been verified. The purpose of this study is to decide on the social skill training program for the children with ADHD tendencies in regular classes. We searched the practical reports on children with ADHD tendencies in foreign countries by using the ERIC-Institute of Education Science thesis database. Among them, 23 papers were related to practical reports. Since there were practices listed in the review paper, a total of 12 cases were analyzed. There were many programs that used rewards, such as token economy, thereby indicating that a program promoting voluntary activities with a reward is believed to be effective for children with ADHD tendencies.
