The content described by students in the worksheets used was rendered as data and subject to content analysis to determine what kind of realizations and learning took place through reflection.</p><p>　A total of 20 students who participated in all components of the program were subject to analysis. The core categories of reflection extracted from the data were“ realizations about the need to know oneself,” “ realizations about the need for support from surrounding people,” “ awareness as a professional,” “ reviewing the implementation,” “ realizations about the impact of support,” and “ experiencing personal growth.”</p><p>　The results confirmed that implementing this program promotes reflection among novice public health nurses and has a certain effect on improving the practices of these nurses while they confront themselves, review the direction of their assistance as a supporter, and receive aid from those involved with individual support.</p>
