Japanese nurses' confidence in their understanding of telenursing via e-learning: A mixed-methods study.

Objective: Telenursing e-learning courses have been shown to enhance nurses' skills and knowledge; however, the subjective learning experience is unclear. In this study, we identified meta-inferences to quantitatively and qualitatively understand this experience, as well as the types of knowledge gained through an e-learning course and how they are linked to each other, in order to enhance nurses' confidence in their understanding of telenursing.

Methods: We employed a single-arm intervention with a mixed-methods convergent parallel design.

Development of a health literacy scale for preconception care: a study of the reproductive age population in Japan.

Background: Preconception care aims to improve both maternal and child health in the short as well as long term, along with providing health benefits to adolescents, women, and men, whether or not they plan to become parents. However, there is limited evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions for improving preconception health in population-based settings. To accumulate evidence in this field, this study focused on the concept of health literacy, and aimed to develop a self-report health literacy scale in Japanese, focusing on preconception care.
