Child and Family Health Care Nursing
The focus of study is on health issues and problems that occur in children, as well as the health problems and issues experienced by children with chronic disease or disability and their families. Health problems from birth to puberty are studied in order to investigate nursing approaches to deal with these problems and issues.
Critical Care Nursing
Employing physiological, sociological and psychological approaches, the study aims to deal with the nursing issues of patients and families in critical care situations due to acute disease, trauma or invasive treatment. In order to respond to the growing demand for professionals with critical care experience in a wide range of medical fields, we launched a training program for certified nurse specialists (CNS) in 2007.
Gerontological Nursing
Gerontological Nursing involves the treatment of complex physiological, social and psychological issues. Students are asked to conceptualize the health and social situations and problems faced by elderly people and their families in order to develop multi-disciplinary approaches to aging and the nursing and care of elderly people.

Furthermore, we are also concerned with the theoretical basis of nursing care including mental health and developmental disorders and developmental clinical psychology.
Community Health Nursing
We are concerned with the theories and practices related to public health and community health nursing. In particular, we are interested in health care for individuals, families and groups in the community as well as the social factors related to health and illness. While respecting the view points and sense of values of that community approaches bring, we aim to research the theories and practices related to community health assessment, health promotion and disease prevention and treatment at the community level.
