Nursing Pathophysiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab centered on infection prevention that uses microbiological methods to demonstrate the evidence behind nursing practice through experiments.

AboutAbout the lab
Testing the evidence for nursing through experiments.
The Nursing Pathophysiology Lab studies nursing practice centered on infection prevention, using methods from bacteriology and pathology.
To prevent infection, it is essential to understand both the properties and transmission of the causative microorganisms and how disease develops in the person who is infected (the host).
Its main research themes at present are oral hygiene management, hygienic management of feeding tubes, and nursing for infection prevention.
The lab has the experimental facilities and techniques to demonstrate the evidence for nursing practice experimentally, using microbiological methods.
Key terms
- Host
- The person who is infected. Resistance to infection varies depending on the person's diseases and physical condition
- Immunocompromised state
- A state in which the body's defenses are weakened by illness, treatment, or other causes, making a person more susceptible to infection
- Oral wiping
- Care that keeps the mouth clean by wiping the inside of the mouth with gauze, sponges, or similar materials

The lab conducts research and education from two perspectives, microorganisms and the host, so that nurses can carry out infection prevention appropriately. With infection prevention at its center, it aims to obtain findings that lead to better nursing care.
*Illustrative imageTwo perspectives: microorganisms and the host
The lab approaches infection prevention from both sides: the properties, locations, transmission routes, and removal methods of the microorganisms that cause infection, and the weakening of the host's defenses by disease, especially the conditions that lead to an immunocompromised state.
*Illustrative imageOral wiping with sesame oil
This study evaluates the effect of oral wiping with edible sesame oil for people who receive care and do not eat by mouth. It is being carried out with the cooperation of long-term care medical facilities (Kaigo Iryoin), as a safe, simple, and low-cost method of oral hygiene management.
