  This study aims to structure the consensus-building process in health policy formation and evaluation based on health needs. Specifically, it verifies a hypothetical model of the consensus-building process from health policy formation to evaluation, considering process management. The study involves extracting the components of the consensus-building process in health policy formation and evaluation, conducting interviews with cases involved in health policy processes, and exploring intervention and support methods for occupational health nurses. The ultimate goal is to contribute to creating and sustaining a healthy organizational culture within companies.

• Development of a nursing support program for workplace-environment improvements based on stress-check results
  Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists
  Teikyo Heisei University
  01 Apr. 2019 - 31 Mar. 2023
  This study develops a nursing support program for workplace-environment improvements on the basis of stress-check results. Interviews were held with occupational health nurses (OHNs) to survey what support they performed for workplace-environment improvements. Results indicated that workplace-environment improvements were performed from the stress-check planning stage, and the support performed during all processes through the assessment was clarified. This study also clarified assessment methods used for problem determining the workplace that would be targeted by OHNs. Here, experienced OHNs were shown workplace photographs, and gaze analysis was performed using eye tracking. Thereafter, interviews were also performed, and characteristics of OHNs’ eye-gaze movements in tracking were clarified. Contents (details) of the support provided, as well as characteristics of assessments, were also clarified.
• New ways of utilizing house floor plan sketches to facilitate multidisciplinary teamwork aimed at identifying the lifestyle needs of elderly individuals living at home

  We sought to verify the effectiveness of utilizing house floor plan sketches (FPSs) as a tool for assessing in-home living assistance of elderly individuals. First, we developed a training video to encourage care providers to utilize FPSs. In the video, a public health nurse creates an FPS while gathering information during a home visit, then checks the care recipient’s living conditions together with the care recipient and family members, and also convenes a multidisciplinary case conference. Next, the care providers watched the video and then filled out a questionnaire about utilizing FPSs and their effectiveness. Their responses suggested that watching the video increased their interest in FPSs, but some planning and minor adjustments were needed before they could utilize them routinely. The care providers also made recommendations such as utilizing FPSs in the basic curriculum for nursing and welfare students, as well as by care practitioners providing in-home living assistance.
• Utilization of a nonverbal medium to understand home living needs through multidisciplinary cooperation and participation by the individuals concerned

  The objective of this study was to determine how to effectively utilize floor plan sketches (FPSs) to understand home living needs. Following a survey on the utilization of FPSs and a trial of their use, a conference of hypothetical cases was conducted to examine the effect of utilizing FPSs. FPSs were effective in enabling specific information to be shared in a short time, particularly information on the living environment. Moreover, their use stimulated imaginative thinking in those who lived in the home. These findings suggest that FPS utilization may lead to a broadening of support measures.
