Methods: A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted on nurses working in hospitals in Fukushima Prefecture regarding the current and desired states of delegation of nursing duties based on their view of nursing. We calculated basic statistics, and percentages for the degree of agreement between the current and the desired states of delegation. Results: The number of valid responses was 241 from 14 facilities. The majority of the respondents answered that they currently provided most of the assistance with patients' activities of daily living together with nursing assistants, and that this duty should be provided together with the nursing assistants or delegated to them. For example, 32.4% of foot baths are currently performed only by nurses, while 42.8% of nurses said it would be better to delegate this task. Those who perceived the workload of nurses to be high were more likely to say that some of their duties should be delegated to nursing assistants. Conclusion: The current study showed that nurses prefer to provide assistance with patients' activities of daily living with nursing assistants or to delegate this duty to them. They also prefer to assist medical treatment
