The present study investigated the effects of a workshop on care techniques that has been held since 2005 at our university. We conducted a care awareness survey by administering questionnaires to 39 participants before and after the workshop.Even though the workshop was only 32 h in duration, we found that it implemented following three effects in addition to the acquisition of care techniques: (1) enabling participants to reflect on and evaluate their usual care, (2) enabling understanding of the importance of fundamentals and their practice in actual settings, and (3) promoting awareness of care expertise.The chronic shortage of care personnel is a major social problem. The vast majority of care personnel are certified care workers with work experience who have aspirations to become certified care workers. While the present workshop may only have been one step on the way to becoming certified care workers for the participants, they considered it a meaningful experience.
