[Opinion survey among nursing students on family].
Earlier discharges of patients from hospital are increasing needs for supports for home medical care, which is causing changes in the activities of medical providers for patients and family members. Meanwhile, it is suggested that the younger generation is more indifferent to family members along with the increase of nuclear families or households consisting of only one member. This time, the author conducted an opinion survey among nursing students for the purpose of understanding how nursing students think of the family and using the data as a reference for the education. The survey was conducted in FY2000 and FY2001 for the questions selected from the "National Lifestyle Popularity Survey". The results indicate that nursing students intend to have families while keeping working and are willing to fulfill their responsibilities as a family member of which relation is close. It is considered possible to guide nursing students to practice nursing respecting the position and feeling of the patient by letting them understand social changes and the individuality of the patient based on the way nursing students think of the family.
