Nursing was not an established part of Japan's health care system until 1899 with the Midwives Ordinance.〔()〕 The Registered Nurse Ordinance was passed in 1915 which established a legal substantiation to registered nurses all over Japan. During World War II the Public Health Nurse, Midwife and Nurse Law was created and re-affirmed in 1948. It established educational requirements, standards and licensure. There has been a continued effort to improve nursing in Japan. In 1992 the Nursing Human Resource Law was passed. This law created the development of new university programs for nurses designed to raise the education level of the nurses so that they could be better suited for taking care of the public. ==Types of nurses== Japan only recognizes four types of nurses: Public Health Nurses, Midwives, Registered Nurses and Assistant Nurses. Public health nursing is designed to help the public and is also driven by the public's needs. The goals of public health nurses are to monitor the spread of disease, keep vigilant watch for environmental hazards, educate the community on how to care for and treat themselves, and train for community disasters. Midwife nurses are independent of any organization. A midwife takes care of a pregnant woman during labor and postpartum. They assist the mother with breastfeeding, caring for the child, and related tasks. Individuals who are assistant nurses follow orders from a registered nurse. They report back to the licensed nurse about a patient's condition. Assistant nurses are always supervised by a licensed registered nurse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nursing in Japan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
