The objective of this study is to examine the educational methods of clinical practice of gerontological nursing aiming at the self-reliance of elderly people with disabilities for nursing students. The procedure was as follows: Prior to the practice, educational methods were devised to strengthen the observation capability of the nursing students. Thereafter, they were interviewed after the practice with respect to their evaluation of the self-reliance of the elderly. Subsequently, the obtained results were classified according to their similarity. As a result, contradictory to the notion of self-reliance previously harbored by the students, their concept regarding the elderly was confirmed to have expanded. This therefore suggested that the practice is conducive to the nursing which can draw out the potential of the elderly.
