Abstract:
In nursing education, learning the effects of relationship diagrams drawn by students is useful in understanding patients and the entire nursing process. However, drawing these diagrams is time consuming, and the diagram creation process is strenuous for students. In this study, we have developed a relationship-diagram creation tool that further reduces the difficulty of node organization. In particular, we have developed a tool that implements an automatic drawing function in which the tool, rather than the student, organizes information in the diagram. We conducted lectures on methods to use the tool at a nursing college as well as a questionnaire survey to evaluate its efficacy. On the basis of these results, we confirmed the improvements in the tool’s usability and efficacy.
