Abstract: [Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the awareness of and difficulty in nursing for sudden changes in patients among nursing college final year students. [Method] Data were collected by paper-based open-ended questionnaires from 63 nursing college final year students. Collected data were analyzed by text mining. [Results] The results showed that the most frequent words used in awareness of and difficulty in nursing for sudden changes in patients were “need,” “correspondence,” “life,” “knowledge,” “judgment,” “nursing skill,” and “experience”. Using principal component analysis and cluster analysis (K-Means), these data were classified into seven categories for awareness, including “there is a difficulty in collaboration with doctors,” and six categories for difficulty, including “mental panic from the weight of responsibility; there is a need for guidance from a senior nurse.” [Discussion] The present findings demonstrate that nursing college final year students -namely, newly graduated nursing college students- have issues in their relationships with doctors and senior nurses. As primary practice involves team medical care, the importance of specific experience has been suggested.
