 The Purpose of this study was to describe the nurses' diagnostic process of the patient with the Acute Confusional State and the differences between nurses who have the shorter experience of their job and the longer one.

 Subjects were 20 nurses (average age 25.1, SD=3.32) who currently work at the ICU, CCU, and the surgical ward. Interview technique was used to collect the data.

 The following results were obtained.

 1) The informations which nurses paid attention to could be classified into “cognitive patterns”, “attitude and behavioral patterns”, “emotional patterns” and “physical patterns”. And these contents were the typical symptoms of Acute Confusional State, the causes of confusion and the prodromal symptoms.

 2) Nurses interpreted and set up one or plural hypothetical diagnoses concerning with the causes of confusion and the other health problems which had common symptoms.

 3) The main diagnostic criteria of Acute Confusional State which nurses showed were disorientation, perception disorder, delusion, dangerous behavior, hypoprosexia, inappropriate communication, persistent desiring and repeated inappropriate behavior, hyperkinesis, and physical harm.

 4) About more than half the subjects set up one hypothetical diagnosis from plural informations, and verified it by re-information-seeking.

 5) Nurses who had longer experience paid attention to and got more informations from various origins of information, used more internal and external resources, and verified the plural hypothetical diagnoses with seeking informations.
