Disaster Nursing Education Workshop
　The purpose of this workshop was “to exchange information on the current state and the feasibility of implementing disaster nursing education and to identify the fundamental skills for disaster nursing that need to be acquired at the completion of basic nursing education so as to promote the study of disaster nursing within basic nursing education.” The workshop was held from 9:00 to 19:00 on March 23 (Thursday) at the University of Hyogo's Research Institute of Nursing Care for People and Community (Akashi Campus). A total of 99 attendees, 54 teachers from 41 nursing colleges throughout Japan and 45 teachers from the university of Hyogo, discussed the validity of core competencies in disaster nursing.. After dividing into groups, the participants examined five abilities and made deletions, additions, and revisions to the major, medium, and minor items under each skill set. As a result, achievement goals for the undergraduate level were revised from "being able to practically demonstrate" certain skills to simply "understanding" them.
