The coefficient of correlation between the scores made on the first and the second administration of attitude item was computed for the statistical measure of reliability and the coefficient of correlation for the total attitude scales was 82
For the analysis o f data, t-test and Fisher´s analysis of variance were employed to see the differences in categories of independent variable to each dependant variables and Hypothesis was examined by nully and the results were obtained as following,
1. In attitude toward nursing record by job position, the nurses showed favorable attitude and nursing students vague attitude, and this difference was significant enough (p <0.01) to nullify hypothesis 1 and 2.
2. Nurses at private hospitals were affirmative toward nursing records, and both nurses and nursing students at government run hospitals were vague and the difference between the two groups was significant enough (p <0. 01) to nullify hypothesis 3-a.
3. Both nurses and nursing students at hospitals where foreign physician arid, nurses have worked showed a higher attitude score than those at other hospitals. But nurses in both groups of hospitals were, affirmative and nursing students in them vague showing an insignificant difference to verify hypothesis 3-b.
4. In attitude toward nursing records by age, nurses in the age group of 20-25 showed average attitude and nurses whose age is above 26 showed affirmative attitude, and the difference between the age group was significant enough (p<0.01) to nullify hypothesis 4.
5. Nurses showed a favorable attitude toward nursing records regardless of educ￢ation level and nursing students of professional or collegiate vague attitude and there was no difference (p<0. 01) among the groups to verify hypothesis 5.
6. Nurses with experience of less than a, year showed a vague attitude toward nursing records and nurses with experience of more than a year affirmative attitude, with a significant difference (p<0.01) among groups to nullify hypothesis 6.
7. Nurses who have had in service education on nursing records showed a favorable attitude and those who have nott such a educational experience a vague attitude, and the inter-group difference was not significant (p>0.01) to verify , hypot￢hesis 7.
