Popis: 本研究は,看護学生を対象に小児期に多い麻疹,風疹,水痘,流行性耳下腺炎の4 つの項目の既往歴について小児看護学実習前に約10 年間に渡り自己申告の調査を実施してきた。その結果,予防接種法で定期接種である麻疹,風疹では,9 割の学生は罹患者又は予防接種者であった。任意接種である水痘では,8 割の学生は罹患者であった。しかし,流行性耳下腺炎は3割の学生は罹患していない又は予防接種を受けていないと報告していた。以上の結果,従来,罹患していない学生に対しては,自己の罹患状況及び予防接種状況を確認し,感染を防ぐように指導してきた。今後は,さらに感染防止の観点から抗体検査を行い,対応策を強化する必要性が明らかになった。 The present study reports the results of a self-reported survey involving nursing students of their medical history of four diseases: measles, rubella, epidemic parotitis, and chickenpox, which has been conducted for approximately ten years, prior to training in pediatric nursing. Ninety percent of students had histories of measles and rubella or were immunized against them, as the vaccinations on a regular basis were required by the Preventive Vaccination Law. Regarding diseases against which a vaccination is not mandatory, 80% of students were affected by chickenpox, whereas 30% had no history of epidemic parotitis or were immunized against it. The results suggest that students with no history of the above-mentioned diseases should be continuously advised to confirm theirmedical history and status of vaccinations for infection prevention. It is also necessary to conduct antibody tests in terms of infectionprevention and further improve effective measures.
