<p>Presently, Japan’s aging rate is among the highest in the world. Consequently, home-visit nursing stations (“stations”), where nurses provide medical and nursing care under the direction of family physicians, are increasing rapidly. However, many newcomer nurses do not remain at these stations for long; most have some hospital clinical experience at hospitals but, having been appointed only recently, are new to the work performed at these stations. Having some clinical experience, they are regarded as ready-to-work nurses for whom additional education is unnecessary. However, most newcomer nurses at these stations experience difficulties in executing their duties. Moreover, most educational programs for graduated nurses focus on developing clinical nursing skills. Therefore, an education program that maximizes their clinical experiences in homecare nursing settings is needed. Using spreadsheet software (Excel®; Microsoft Corp.), we developed a proposed educational tool (“tool”) for learners and educators and compiled a list of skills necessary for all newcomer nurses according to the training programs published in Japan. The learning method—based on educational theory and instructional design—is designed to help the nurses visualize their acquired skills and promote the self-efficacy of stations’ recently appointed nurses, and, thereby, promote greater workplace retention.</p>
