This study elucidated Japanese home care nurses' experiences of supporting clients and families with anxiety. We interviewed 10 registered nurses working in home care agencies and analyzed the data using grounded theory to derive categories pertaining to the nurses' experiences of providing care. We conceptualized nurses' approaches to caring for anxiety into three categories: First, they attempted to reach out for anxiety even when the client/family did not make it explicit; second, they tried to alter the outlook of the situation; and third, they created comfort in the lives of the client/family. The conceptualizations of nurses' strategies to alleviate client/family anxiety may reflect Japanese/Eastern cultural characteristics in communication and their view of the person and social care system, but these conceptualizations may also inform the practice of Western nurses by increasing awareness of skills they may also have and use.
本研究阐明了日本居家护理护士为焦虑的客户及其家庭提供支持的经历。我们采访了10名在居家护理机构工作的注册护士，并运用扎根理论对数据进行分析，以得出与护士护理经历相关的类别。我们将护士应对焦虑的护理方法归纳为三类：第一，即使客户/家庭未明确表达焦虑，他们也试图主动了解；第二，他们试图改变对情况的看法；第三，他们为客户/家庭的生活营造舒适感。护士缓解客户/家庭焦虑策略的概念化可能反映了日本/东方文化在沟通方面的特点以及他们对人及社会护理系统的看法，但这些概念化也可能通过提高西方护士对自身可能具备和使用的技能的认识，为他们的实践提供借鉴。
