This report describes the results of a qualitative study which explored the process of understanding by students in a three-week session of gerontological nursing practice. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with eight third-year students of Osaka Prefecture College of Nursing. The results indicated six categories in the process of understanding of the elderly with dementia as follows: 1) Mental preparation for care; 2) Rejection, 3) Being at a loss how to cope with the behavior of dementia, and 4) Groping for ways to deal with the behavior of dementia (appearing in Week 1); 5) Getting a feel for ways to cope (appearing in Week 2) ; 6) Understanding of care effectiveness (appearing in Week 3). Category 4, Groping for ways to deal with the behavior of dementia, was clarified as a turning point towards which educational guidance and support are of great importance.
