This textbook draws on international contributors with a range of backgrounds to explore, engage with and challenge readers in understanding the many aspects and elements that inform and influence contemporary nursing practice. With a focus to the future, this book explores the challenges facing health services and presents the arguments for a nursing contribution and influence in ensuring safe and quality care.

Readers are supported to explore how, as individuals, they can shape their personal nursing identity and practice.

Reflecting this approach, the authors engage in a conversation with the reader rather than simply presenting a series of facts and information.

In consideration of the influence of Japanese culture, introduce studies for resolving conflict between nurses and patients. Japanese have a culture that does not express their thoughts in words. That elegant culture sometimes cannot attract each other's ideas. When it is driven in a busy environment or spiritually, Doi calls it "the structure of amae." However, there seems to be no English equivalent to this "Amae". However, I think that it is very important to understand the concept of "Amae" in considering the relationship between a nurse and a patient. Therefore, from the conflict between the nurse and the patient, in particular here we introduce Japanese traditional art "intervention study using tea ceremony: in Japanese Chadoh" and "avoidance of veteran nurses conflict". In addition, although these findings are unique to Japan, they can be said to be universal from the viewpoint of human relations.
