Since 2023, the Faculty of Pharmacy at Fukuoka University has been implementing the 'Fukuyaku Project,' a project-based learning program designed to foster the motivation, attitude, and skills required for students' future careers.
The project's 'Home Hospice Karuta' production team worked to spread awareness of home hospice care through a 'Karuta' (card game) accessible to all generations, with the cooperation of Ninosaka Clinic. In creating the cards, students led every aspect of the process, from carefully considering the text for the reading cards to drawing the illustrations for the playing cards, based on interviews conducted with home hospice patients, their families, and medical professionals.
At the 'Home Hospice Festa 2026' held this March, the project team presented the production process and content of the card game in a poster session.
### Student comments
Nana Otsubo (a second-year student in the Faculty of Pharmacy), who presented on the day, said, 'Thanks to the cooperation of many people, we were able to complete the card game. I learned that home hospice is supported by the thoughts and support of many people, including local community members and the patients themselves. I hope the card game we created will serve as an opportunity for various people to learn about the importance of these thoughts and mutual support.' Aika Yamamoto (also a second-year student) added, 'I was deeply moved to see how the thoughts of various professionals come together, and how home hospice is supported by cooperation and ingenuity.'
