This study used a questionnaire on work duties and training to examine staff training provided at facilities for the elderly requiring long-term care. The aim was to consider how educational programs should be developed in light of differences in evaluation related to the basic attributes of gender, age, and years of experience. Ultimately, the development of such educational programs ought to facilitate human resource development, prevent turnover, and promote workplace retention through work satisfaction and training. The respondents of the study were staff members in facilities for the elderly requiring long-term care who had participated in staff training sessions organized by Prefecture A. Of the total number of respondents, 32 (31.1%) were male and 71 (68.9%) were female (valid response rate: 97.2%). Responses ranging from “Agree” to “Strongly agree” accounted for over 90% of all items. With regard to work duties, significantly higher values were observed for women than men, for those in their thirties than those in their twenties, and for those with at least four years of experience than those with less than four years of experience.
