We are conducting research with the aim of improving the well-being of people who need to manage their conditions over the long term, such as those with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders. We are exploring nursing care that enables people to live as themselves, from before they become seriously ill to the end of their lives. We are also conducting education and research based on a comprehensive approach that includes self-management support and psychosocial care, as well as policy research to contribute to people's well-being by making the most of nursing professionals' abilities.
Research and Education
We contribute to the evolution of chronic care nursing. We focus on developing self-management support for people living with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and fatty liver, which enables them to understand their condition, make appropriate decisions with self-monitoring, and continue to enjoy their lives. We value questions in clinical practice and actively promote collaborative research by flexibly selecting research designs, such as qualitative research, quantitative research, and experiments, according to the research questions.
The undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programs jointly hold regular weekly seminars, and the master’s program also offers a training program for Certified Nurse Specialist in Chronic Care Nursing. We engage graduate students with diverse and rich clinical experiences in exploring nursing science from a broad perspective.
Through an interdepartmental agreement with St. Anthony’s College of Nursing, we also prioritize fostering leadership in the promotion of evidence-based nursing practice. an international perspective. Graduates and alumni are active in diverse fields, including research, clinical practice, and corporate/entrepreneurship.
