Field of Specialization
Fundamental Nursing Ergonomics
Outline Activities
We are conducting research from the viewpoints of nursing science and ergonomics on technologies, objects, environments, and systems to improve safety and comfort in nursing and care settings, to promote the health of people of all ages, and to implement effective nursing education. We target a wide range of age groups, from the young to the elderly, and approach the subject from both the perspective of those who provide care and those who receive care. In addition, we will capture a variety of situations from nursing and nursing care settings to the local living environment. In particular, we aim to make proposals based on objective indicators and scientific evidence for nursing techniques, nursing and welfare equipment, the environment of nursing sites, extending healthy life expectancy, and preventing and reducing the burden of nursing care.
