Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing is an affiliate of the Japanese Red Cross Society, an affiliate of International Red Cross. The International Red Cross was founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1864. Henri Dunant"s concern for wounded soldiers in battle led to the establishment of the International Red Cross. In 1877, the Hakuaisha, or Philanthropy Society, was founded in Japan by C...ount Tsunetami Sano, Yuzuru Ogyu, and others. In 1887, Hakuaisha was renamed Japanese Red Cross Society.
The educational ideal of Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing (JRCHCN) is human caring. Human caring cherishes the dignity of human life and wisdom based on ‘humanity’, one of the seven principles of the Red Cross. In order for students to acquire the ability to practice human caring, our curriculum is structured on four conceptual components—Humanity, Knowledge, Relationships and Skill.
The educational philosophy of the college is based on the theory of Human Caring, which in turn is based on human dignity and wisdom. Human Caring means that nurses respect human dignity and heal patients" agony, distress, fear, and anger through the use of the interpersonal process of caring. Nurses also help individuals to reach their highest level of growth, maturity, and health. At the same time, the caring process raises nurses" own level of growth.
All human life is equally respected and given high regard and reverence. Thus, the implementation of Human Caring requires understanding individuals" wholeness and uniqueness, not only their biological existence but also their cultural, social, and historical uniqueness. Moreover, Human Caring requires integration of concepts and theories with wisdom that has been passed on from generation to generation throughout human history.
In order to develop an independent learning environment, we have enhanced our facilities and have created a variety of educational materials and methods. These have been recognised by the ‘Program for Promoting University Education, (Theme B) and were awarded a subsidy from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) from 2009 to 2011. Not only have we created educational materials on Information Communication Technology (ICT) but we have also established the ‘Simulation Center’ in which students can learn the necessary knowledge and skills of fundamental nursing at a time that suits their schedule. For instance, they can learn the knowledge and skills of health assessment by using the “Simulators”, (advanced patient care mannequins). In addition, on the basis of our research, we have trained a number of Standardized Patients (SP) to better enable our students to practise the methods of caring communication, caring skills and the construction of relationships with patients. As a means of preliminary education for clinical training, we have introduced ‘Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)’ into our curriculum, allowing students to experience more realistic clinical settings at college than would be possible through conventional methods.
Our college also obtained a MEXT ‘Program for Promoting University Education" (Theme A) subsidy from 2009 to 2011, for the promotion of training for international disaster relief nurses. Our research resulted in the 2012 introduction of the elective ‘Preparatory Course for International Relief Nursing’. The objective of this course is to develop the fundamental abilities of nursing professionals who can play an important role in domestic and international disaster relief and development cooperation. In this way, we provide an educational environment in which students can learn the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to take part in a broad range of nursing activities in every situation.
Our college is located on a hillside in Hatsukaichi City, from which we can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful islands of the Seto Inland Sea. These include Miyajima, on which is located Itsukushima Shrine, a World Heritage registered site. We welcome opportunities to collaborate with international partners, and look forward to further exploring and developing nursing education at both local and global levels.
