  After the big earthquake in Kansai area in 1995， volunteer activities became popular in Japan. Currently， manynursing students are working in the area of health or community service as volunteers. During the period of FY2002-2004， we investigated educational needs of nursing student volunteers working in health or community serviceand then designed an educational program for them. From FY 2005， we had worked on developing an e-learningeducational program， and we completed it in January 2007. The purpose of this study is to describe the process ofdeveloping the educational program， which was designed primarily for first and second year nursing students， butalso meets the needs of others interested in volunteer work. We used an action research approach to develop thee-learning program. The process was classified into three steps. First， we began a periodic meeting to discuss thedesign of our website and its contents. Then we signed a contract with website developing experts and recruitednursing volunteer students to be participants in the study. As a result of our process， the web experts created adraft website with two layers: one general site for public and one fo

  　Purpose of this study was to provide evaluation data for the improvement of a web-based learning support programfor nursing student health volunteers collaboratively developed with students that began January 2007. Based onfindings of evaluation， we designed a subject used service-learning. Evaluation methods included: student logs，interview feedback from students who did or did not use the student site， and faculty researchers’ evaluation asthe support staff for this web-based learning support program. The study was approved by the Institution ReviewBoard at St Luke's College of Nursing (No.07-035). Participants were recruited based on their informed consent andassurance of confidentiality.　Findings revealed that nine students logged 30 reports. Logs described their activities， thinking， learning， andfuture plans. The PC web-site was unfamiliar to them compared to their mobile e-mail. In addition， they felt noobligation to log their volunteer activities. Most faculty-researchers indicated a low commitment to supportingstudent volunteers because of their lack of knowledge and expertise in using the educational web-based learning andthey recognized they need to

  A workshop was held as part of a research project titled the Developing recruitmentsystem of global health nursing and midwifery experts : Developing a career pass modelfor global health nursing and midwifery experts- that is supported by the Grant of National Center for Global Health and Medicine.The aim of this research project is to have nurses with experience overseas returnto Japan and help develop a career path model for international nurses and midwivesto improve the current difficulties in continuing a career in international nursing.Professors teaching international nursing in Japanese graduate schools report thatit is difficult to continue a real career in cooperation activities after completing one's master's degree program; and compared with people from other developednations it is hard for Japanese nurses and midwives to register with international organizations. From the experience of those present who are active bothdomestically and overseas，all agreed with the observation that the ways of pursuinginternational nursing and midwife careers in Japan are varied; what is desperatelyneeded is the formation of a career path for people who were involved in cooperationac

  〔Abstract〕　This paper describes the process of developing a revised curriculum at St. Luke's College of Nursing andthe new contents. The former curriculum revised in FY 1995 had been evaluated and issues were noted.Therefore， a working group was organized and it initiated a new curriculum development in 2007. A furtherrevision was begun in April 2011.　A revised curriculum FY 2011 is designed to meet the educational objectives which evolve from thephilosophy and vision of this college to prepare nurses who are not only proficient and knowledgeable inthe arts and science of nursing practice， but who are also caring well-rounded individuals. One of the maincharacteristics of this revised curriculum is to incorporate the concept of “People-Centered Care” (PCC).PCC was the outcome of the research project supported by a grant for 21st Century COE program fromthe Ministry of Education， Culture， Sports， Science and Technology Japan. PCC was incorporated into theconceptual framework of this curriculum. In the FY 2011 revised curriculum， liberal arts and the foundationsof nursing were enriched.
