The purpose of this study was to investigate the contents of nursing skills which senior nursing students experienced, in adult nursing practice of an acute term. We distinguished the nursing skills according to each patients disease type and according to the type of teaching materials used for the students. We did a questionnaire investigation of 83 senior nursing students of "A" college, after the course and practice was finished. The results were as follows : 1. Preoperative nursing skills were evaluated at 6-37%; the rate that students could perform pre-op care was therefore low. 2. Postoperative nursing skills were evaluated at a high level particularly for "bed baths" and " wound treatment", whilst stoma care, tube-feeding, oral/nasal suctioning, etc were weaker. 3. The contents of nursing skills that students could experience were different according to the patients' disease type. The students entrusted to care for patients with a disease of the digestive organs, or of the circulatory system showed a greater tendency to perform skills better. 4. 62% of the students were prepared for clinical practice using "the hint for learning nursing skills" (information packet). 40% of the students also made use of "the self learning unit" (practice unit in the college nursing lab), to practice their nursing skills. Of all the various teaching materials available to nursing students it seems to us that "video learning" may be the least effective.
