Feedback:

-This training reminded me of the importance of understanding the risks of radiation and taking the necessary precautions to ensure safety in my work.

-I want to clearly communicate the history of the atomic bombing, its lasting effects even 80 years later, and the ongoing health checkups and support for survivors. I would also like to visit Hapcheon, South Korea, someday.

-I plan to share my learning experiences with my colleagues and provide training on how to apply holistic nursing care in daily practice.

-It felt as if I had traveled back in time to the historical sites of the atomic bombing. I learned how many people and organizations are working to preserve the memory of this tragic history.

-I will apply what I learned about medical care and nursing for atomic bomb survivors, including the importance of long-term health monitoring, to nursing training. I will also share my learning with colleagues to promote patient-centered care and improve training.
