A survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire to clarify the relationship between nursing undergraduates' perceptions of their own health status and their interest in Kampo medicine, and to clarify their changes after a lecture and practical. About 85% of the nursing students considered themselves "very healthy" or "healthy". Before the lecture, the higher health levels corrected with, lower interest in Kampo medicine. Conversely, after the lecture, interest in Kampo medicine in the healthy group increased. This suggests that undergraduate lecture can increase interest in Kampo medicine, especially among healthy nursing students. Regardless of their health status, the nursing students tended to recognize the need for knowledge of Kampo medicine before the lecture. This had a particular impact on the students in the healthy group, who accounted for the largest proportion of students surveyed. Before the lecture, students were aware of the need for Kampo medicine in nursing education. However, following the lecture, the healthy and poor health groups were more aware of the need for Kampo medicine.
