Studying nursing that protects and promotes mental health

Its role is to develop evidence-based care by viewing people holistically from biological, social, and psychological perspectives.
The subjects of its work extend beyond individuals to groups such as families, communities, and schools, as well as healthcare professionals and supporters.
Its research addresses support for people living with dementia and environments that enhance resilience in adolescence.

*Illustrative imageSupporting people living with dementia
Dementia has no established cure and often follows a long course after diagnosis. The lab studies measures to reduce social stigma, as well as how to practice advance care planning (ACP), which supports decision-making about future care and medical treatment.
*Illustrative imageEnhancing resilience in adolescence
It is said that people who experience major adversity in adolescence are more likely to develop mental health problems. On the other hand, some people have the capacity to withstand adversity (resilience). Using population cohorts in Japan and overseas, the lab investigates environmental factors that enhance resilience.
