- Abstract: Questionnaire survey was conducted to know awareness of female nursing students about state of self-health condition and the effect of Kampo education on the interest degree in Kampo. It was shown that 20% of students felt that they were not healthy and 40% of students felt that they were not confident in their health. It was also shown that many students took a painkiller to cure menstrual pain and headache. In addition, it was shown that 55% of students experienced internal use of Kampo medicine. This tendency was more prominent in students who were interested in Kampo medicine. And, there were many students who wanted to take Kampo medicine, which was effective to dysmenorrhea, headache, menstrural irregular, premenstrual syndrome, and menopausal disorders. The demand on Kampo medicine of students who were not interested in Kampo medicine were prominently increased after Kampo education used slides (papers) reading about Kampo. Those results indicate that Kampo education is also important for students who are not interested in Kampo medicine.
