Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the nurse`s image and role projected in media and perceived by elementary, middle and high school students.
Methods: Data were collected from 544 students in J city, Korea during December 2010 to February 2011. The nurse`s image was measured by the instrument developed by Yang (1998). Nursing experiences and nurse`s role in media was measured by self-administered questionnaires with 8 questions. Statistical analysis was made with t-test and ANOVA using SPSS win 18.0.
Result: The score on personal image was the highest, while the score on social image was the lowest. Elementary school students reported a positive image compared with middle and high school students. Male students had a more positive image than female students. Of various media, students had more experiences related to nurses from TV rather than internet sites, books and newspaper/magazines. Especially, the nurse`s role on TV ``seemed to be an assistant of a doctor`` was rated the highest by the students.
Conclusion: It is necessary to develop a strategy to improve the social image of the nurse through TV by providing correct information on the nurse`s role. For this purpose, it is required to consistently monitor and analyze the nurse`s role shown in media.
