To observe the readiness of nursing and welfare students before they are introduced to a unit on caring technology, a survey was given to 55 first-year nursing and welfare students at a junior college, using an unsigned questionnaire that contained questions on knowledge, acknowledgment, and attitudes concerning infection control. The survey revealed the following : 1. For the questions concerning the transmission route, the percentage of correct answers was relatively high ; however, for those on the specific care of infected patients, the percentage of right answers was low. 2. The respondents had low ratings on their knowledge of infection control but they indicated a strong desire to learn. 3. In the area of the students' acknowledgment and attitude concerning infection, two factors, anxiety and desire to learn, were recognized. 4. It was recognized that for nursing and welfare students to learn effectively, it is necessary to maintain their desire for learning by introducing them to new knowledge and technology, and to offer a type of education by which an ideal learning environment may be created and their thinking capability and view of ethics may be nurtured.
