Teaching Method of Nursing Care with Use of Student's Own Dietary Habits

「食生活の援助」の学習モデルとして、学生自身の生活を活用し、看護過程を展開させる教育方法を試みた。この方法は、本学看護学科２年次の学生52名に対し、授業「食生活の援助」の中の統合演習として行われた。演習終了後に行った自記式質問紙から、演習の成果を検討した。学生は、自己の食生活への看護を展開したことで、栄養と健康や生活に関する基礎知識を獲得し、生活と看護の関連について理解することができた。さらに、自己の食生活の改善によって学生の生活体験および看護体験が広がった。また学習過程において、学生は学習課題による外発的動機づけのほか、教材への関心から内発的にも動機づけられたことがわかった。さらに課題達成後も内発的動機づけは継続し、患者への看護や、自己の食生活の改善へつなげることができた。以上のことから、自己を教材とした教育方法は、初学者にとって有効であったと考える。Teaching materials for students, especially, for novice students must be definite and interesting. We introduced a program to assess and to plan students own dietary life by themselves into the lesson of "Nursing care on Dietary Habits". This teaching method can be lead to increase students motivation and understanding of relevance of nursing and living. In this report, subjects were 52 sophomore students at Sapporo Medical University, Department of Nursing. Question sheets were given to students to assess and plan their own dietary habits as learning materials to teach nursing care for nutrition. Findings revealed that students received basic knowledge about nutrition and nursing. And students also improved their own dietary habits. Additionally students were motivated not just by the assignment but by the interest in their own dietary habits. After more completion of the assignment, the students remained motivation to learn more about this subject and their interests extended to learn the application of these skills to patients. In conclusion, use of a student's own dietary habits is an effective way for novice students to learn nursing care involving dietary habits
