Families of cancer patients are also subject to care, and early intervention is necessary. In general hospital wards, nurses have difficulty in performing satisfactory nursing care for families of cancer patients due to limited time to get involved. Their priority is to provide essential care for patients, thus it is inevitable that they cannot offer intervention for patients' families. In recent years, overtime work by nurses has been regarded as a problem, and implementation of in-service education within the working hours is recommended. Based on these backgrounds, we developed "Learning materials for nurses, with a view to standardized care for the families of cancer patients hospitalized in general wards". In this paper, we report on this learning program and the development process.
Although nurses are not indispensable according to the standards of staffing in Group Homes (GH) for elderly people with dementia, they are involved in health management due to the increasing medical needs of users, and the number of GH that employ nurses is increasing. The purpose of this study was to clarify the trends in nursing research in GH and the practices of nurses. The main research contents of the practice of nurses were "nursing of end-of-life (EOL) care" and "nursing other than EOL care". The necessity of nurses in GH and the importance of cooperation with GH staff were also clarified in this study, but there were few reports on the practices of nurses, suggesting the need to clarify the actual situation in the future.
