ResearchResearch themes

It works on building medical networks for people with intractable diseases, collaboration among related organizations, developing health activities based on community health nursing assessment, and disaster prevention measures that make use of existing community networks.
*Illustrative imageSurvey of health guidance after HIV testing
At the Kita Ward Health Center in Osaka City, the lab investigated how health guidance and related support are provided when HIV and sexually transmitted infection test results are communicated, and examined how health guidance should be delivered.
*Illustrative imageTemple network for disaster preparedness for children requiring medical care
Through the "Medical Care Disaster Preparedness Temple Network," based at Ganshoji Temple of the Jodo school, the lab identified community issues related to disaster preparedness for children requiring medical care, as well as the needs of the children and their families. It plans to expand the activity by recruiting temples that support the initiative.
Community care system for people with neurological intractable diseases at home
As an earlier initiative, at the Hyogo Prefecture Kato Health Center, the lab held repeated workshops with related organizations based on the results of a community health nursing assessment. This led to stronger support systems from an early stage after the assessment and to better quality of end-of-life care at home.
*Illustrative imageCommunity–workplace collaboration for preventing the worsening of diabetes
As an initiative running through 2023, at the Osaka Prefecture Suita Public Health Center, the lab distributed videos aimed at raising health checkup participation among younger generations, as well as videos and leaflets on the link between diabetes and periodontal disease, based on the results of a community health nursing assessment.
