Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify impact of geriatric certified nurse specialist training on hospital staff. Subject & Method: We made a self-reported questionnaire survey on 74 hospital staff members who agreed to participate in the study. Results: We conducted a self-reported questionnaire survey. Results indicated higher scores in "good care plan made by students", "the opinion and advice for stuff members were good", when staff involvement with students and 6 roles of certified nurse specialist were assessed. Some favorable changes were observed in staff including "I found it was important to strive perseveringly". However, as for these scores, the difference was seen between nurses and other stuff members. Conclusion: It is necessary for students to make their role and significance of their practical training understood by staff, which follows that students need to be willing to establish relationship with people engaged in other medical professions.
