Abstract

Articles

As we become a super-aging society with a declining population, how people approach the end of their lives has become a particular social concern. For example, a typical example is the endof-life care and the Life Council awareness activities conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. On the other hand, although the proportion of non-hospital deaths is actually on the rise, the technical infrastructure for professional end-of-life care has not been systematized. This paper examines how the end of life has been handled, with a focus on the content up to the present, especially since the national qualification of the nursing care worker training curriculum was established. What has become clear here is that the treatment of death has increased with each curriculum revision, but the theoretical background is based on medical care, and the process was not aimed at acquiring skills. It's here. Another aspect of the curriculum is that students learn about the emotional changes of the dying person before they learn about the physical changes, so the curriculum takes into account the lifestyle support that is the specialty of the nursing profession. In this way, what caregivers must understand when providing end-of-life care is the ability to understand medical care and, based on this, the emotional support provided to users as lifestyle support. Because the content is abstract, the challenge is how to understand death as a learning experience for professionals.
