“…However, interactive workshops, rather than lectures and academic instruction, are the best method to promote changes in professional practice (Griscti & Jacono, 2006). Furthermore, it has been reported that, in addition to ensuring the self‐effort of nurses within hospitals, there is a need to establish networks with hospitals in neighboring regions because their desire (willingness) to learn is positively correlated with the presence of training facilities (Takahashi, Kiyomura, Kajiwara, & Itoh, 2012).…”

Aim Aiming at environmental arrangements for pediatric cancer patients and their families to receive appropriate medical care and support with a sense of security, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare designated 15 hub hospitals for childhood cancer. These hub hospitals have established networks with approximately 200 centers/hospitals treating pediatric cancer. In order to promote equal access to nursing, we investigated nurses' difficulties and needs at these treatment hospitals with limited experience in pediatric cancer nursing. Methods In order to examine education on pediatric cancer nursing, we investigated difficulties felt by treatment hospital nurses, their educational experience and their educational needs. A total of 584 nurses (66.51%) from 52 hospitals from which written consent was received completed the questionnaires. Results Nurses had difficulties regarding nursing care for patients with critical conditions, such as terminal care, and actions to be taken when a patient's physical condition rapidly changes. Nurses most strongly desired education on nursing care for patients with serious problems, such as terminal care, and follow‐up provided in the form of in‐ and hub‐hospital lectures. Conclusion Our study suggested that in order to provide nurses in treatment hospitals with education focusing on nursing care for patients with serious problems, education systems based on cooperation between hub and treatment hospitals are needed.

“…The principal factors found to be associated with ability to develop staff were "gathering and using information" and "supportiveness of the work environment." A previous study by Takahashi, Kiyomura, Kajiwara, and Itou [22] suggested that the learning needs of clinical nurses (including managers) may be influenced by their educational backgrounds and the type of hospital they work in. Since learning needs and training are closely related concepts, we assumed that the explanatory factors associated with them should be similar.…”

The purpose of this study was to clarify how Japanese nurse managers (i.e., “shunin”) or higher-ranked positions self-rate their nursing management competencies and to identify factors associated with their ability to develop staff. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the 41-item Management Index for Nurses. This index assesses the competencies related to six components of nursing management: planning, motivating staff, developing staff, communication, organization, and ensuring safety. The total possible score is 205 points. The mean percentage score for each component was calculated based on the responses from 118 participants (107 women; mean age = 44.1 ± 7.0 years). Results showed that the mean percentage score for competencies related to ensuring safety was, by far, the highest (71.8%), and the lowest was for competencies related to organization (47.6%). Principal factors found to be associated with participants’ ability to develop staff were “gathering and using information” (a subscale of “educational background and interests”) and “supportiveness of the work environment”. These results suggest that, to improve nurse managers’ competencies related to their ability to develop staff, hospitals need to establish continuing education systems that offer nurse managers convenient educational opportunities in management science, either on-site or at a higher education institution; and develop an in-house support system that enables managers to obtain counseling when practical management concerns cause them stress.
