Abstract
It is important that student nurses obtain such abilities that they can develop their understanding for patients and diseases and express their opinions to the nursing. Several researches show practical training in hospitals changes students greatly, but there are no studies to investigate the mental changes. In this paper, we report the results of comparisons between 3^<rd> grade student before training and 4^<th> grade after training. In each item, the 4^<th> grade have higher scores than 3^<rd> grade, which implies that the training gives the student the deep understanding about patients not only in the physical conditions but also in the mental states.
