Cancer Nursing and Palliative Care Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies cancer nursing that uses ICT to support patients' self-management.
AboutAbout the lab
Cancer nursing research linking clinical practice and science.
The Cancer Nursing and Care Systems Research Group studies support that enables people diagnosed with and treated for cancer to actively manage their own health even after treatment.
The support incorporates information and communication technology (ICT), and its effects are verified in terms of quality of life (QOL).
The starting point was a study by the group's leader on what health means to people who have experienced cancer, which showed that the recognition that "in the end, it's up to me" holds the key to health.
In the care systems area, the group studies policies and care systems that can improve conditions in clinical settings, with community healthcare, home-visit nursing, elderly care, and big data as keywords.
