The purpose of this research is to clarify the ideal learning contents of perioperative training as a fundamental nursing educational subject by hearing the experience of new graduate nurses. Semi-constructive interviews were conducted between October and December 2005, directed to 16 new graduate nurses with average age of 24 years who were working for the perioperative wards in two medical institutions of Osaka Prefecture, which had agreed the purpose of the research. Ethical consideration was paid to the interviews under the screening of the medical ethics council of the University, and the interviewees agreed their participation at their own free will. Although the 16 interviewees acquired necessary content of learning for perioperative nursing during their perioperative training at school, they felt a shortage of fundamental educational learning after their employment. As a result of the interviews, the differences between the perioperative training and clinical practice were classified into three categories "knowledge", "technique", and "attitude" as well as "time spent" that <a shortage of time resulting from an increasing number of patients>. The contents of perioperative training that new graduate nurses expect were classified into seven categories adding <assessment knowledge>, <assessment technique>, <practical technique>, and <attitudes to solve questions positively>. From the foregoing, it is considered necessary to have more practical basis education for perioperative training.
