Abstract:
In Japan, as more people require medical care, the importance of effective collaboration between nurses and professional caregivers, both in the home setting and in nursing home facilities, is increasing. The purpose of this study was to identify differences in the way professional caregivers in Japan view medical care administration in the home and in nursing home facilities. Responses to a questionnaire given to in-home and nursing home caregivers demonstrated that many professional caregivers, especially nursing home caregivers, desired collaboration with nurses to enable them to provide safe medical care. An educational system for professional caregivers in Japan is needed.
