A draft of a support tool (leaflet-type printed material) was prepared with the aim of supporting parents preparing their children with chronic diseases in preparation for entering elementary school. In order to obtain suggestions for the completion of the support tool, an investigation was conducted with nursery school nurses to determine how the draft support tool could be utilized and what improvements could be made. Seven nursery school nurses who had experience in providing support to parents of children with chronic diseases were sent a draft of the support tool in advance, and were later asked to in semi-structured interviews regarding how they thought using the draft support tool and what they thought inappropriate or lacking in its contents.

　The findings of the investigation revealed that the draft support tool was a resource that nursery school nurses could also use it to support the parents. In addition, additions and modifications to the draft support tool were identified, and suggestions were made for the completion of a support tool that can be used in common with children with chronic diseases.
