Caring is the heart of nursing. However, not many understand the significance of caring in nursing from the perspectives of undergraduate nursing students, especially in Japan.
To describe caring in nursing among Japanese nursing students as learned and communicated through their aesthetic expressions.
The study employed hermeneutic phenomenology. Sixty-one Japanese nursing students in their second year of baccalaureate degree studies participated. Constituting the data were art-based graphic expressions, such as drawings and written reflections on the drawings, as a response to the question of how the participants describe their meanings of caring in nursing. The thematic analysis method was used to analyze and interpret the data. The trustworthiness of the research was established following Lincoln and Guba's criteria.
Seven thematic categories were identified. These categories include (1) Engaging with others; (2) Knowing each other; (3) Being with other persons; (4) Nurturing intimate personal growth; (5) Supporting wholeness of persons; (6) Vacillating rhythm; and (7) Intensifying competency.
This study described the understanding of caring in nursing among undergraduate Japanese nursing students during their second year of study. The caring in nursing focused on reciprocal relationships, whole-person relating, and practice competency. Findings suggested that nurse educators should develop teaching-learning strategies for nursing students to continuously grow as caring persons.

描述日本护理专业学生在护理中所学到的关怀，并通过他们的审美表达进行交流。
本研究采用了阐释现象学方法。61 名日本护理专业二年级学生参与了研究。研究数据由艺术为基础的图形表达组成，如绘画和对绘画的书面反思，作为对参与者如何描述他们在护理中关怀意义的回应。采用主题分析方法对数据进行分析和解释。研究的可信度是根据林肯和古巴的标准建立的。
确定了七个主题类别。这些类别包括：（1）与他人接触；（2）了解彼此；（3）与他人在一起；（4）培养亲密的个人成长；（5）支持个人的整体；（6）波动的节奏；（7）增强能力。
