Feedback:

-This program gave me an opportunity to reflect on war and the atomic bombing. I was reminded that caring for patients with PTSD requires emotional support as well as physical care, and I will keep this in mind as I continue my nursing work.

-I will share what I have learned about the reality of the atomic bombing whenever possible, so that more people will understand and work to prevent such suffering from happening again. When caring for A-bomb survivors, I will strive to provide both physical care and emotional comfort.

-Through this training, I learned about the dangers of nuclear materials, their human impact, and the importance of strengthening our ability to respond to related disasters. What I learned here helps me better understand the emotional pain of A-bomb survivors and their families, and reminds me to support them with greater compassion.

-I deepened my understanding of the physical, emotional, and social challenges faced by A-bomb survivors. I will provide care that respects each patient’s life and heart, and share what I learned with my colleagues to foster a nursing culture that values peace and human dignity.
