*Illustrative imageHeat stress when wearing protective clothing
The lab investigates heat stress when healthcare workers wear personal protective equipment. Among nurses, it surveys how symptoms thought to involve heat stress appear while wearing it, and the factors associated with them.
*Illustrative imageImproving venipuncture skills
The lab aims to improve peripheral venipuncture technique for blood draws and drug administration. Using ultrasound diagnostic equipment, it measures the depth and diameter of veins and examines the relationship with how visible and palpable they are.
*Illustrative imageLower-limb swelling and the menstrual cycle
In adult women, the lab examines how lower-limb swelling differs across the phases of the menstrual cycle. It measures lower-leg volume and circumference, and evaluates them together with how much swelling the participants feel.
*Illustrative imageViews on life and death related to disclosure
The lab examines attitudes toward disclosing a diagnosis and views on life and death, through international comparisons and surveys of high school students. It also works on education and research in nursing ethics and communication.
