Abstract
In Japan, preregistration education is not sufficient to prepare nurses to work as child adolescentmental health nurses. Nominal group technique (NGT) using focus group discussions, and Knowles' Adult Learning Theory, were used to examine the continuing educational needs of nurses in a Japanese adolescentmental health unit. Nurses caring for adolescent patients with mental health issues need continuing education. This research demonstrates the utility of nominal group technique in needs analysis in this context. Educational priorities include instruction on patients' developmental stage, promoting patient self-sufficiency, and strategies for meeting the needs of families.A family-centered care approach is recommended.
