AboutAbout the lab
Exploring nursing that supports the development of children and families
The Developmental Support Nursing Lab explores nursing that supports the development of children and their families, and aims to establish developmental support nursing as a field.
Its research includes empowerment of families raising children with developmental disorders or children with severe illness who receive home care, as well as the difficulties encountered in pediatric care settings, preparation and distraction for children, and transition.
For graduate students, the lab recruits people who want to reflect academically on their clinical experience, and people who hope to become nursing researchers or nursing faculty members in the future.
On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name "Wakimizu Lab."
