Purpose: The purpose of study was to investigate the images of nursing officers and to identify determinants of the images.
Methods: The subjects (n=1,017) were military personnel. Data were collected from the 1st of July to 30th of August, 2008. Data was collected using a self-report questionnaire based on a revision of Yang Il-Sims’s (1996) Scale, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson coefficients, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression procedure by the SPSS/PC win 12.0 programs.
Results: In an analysis of images of the nursing officers, the highest mean scores were ’military image’ 3.60, which were followed by ’traditional image’ 3.58, ‘social image’ 3.25, and ’personal image’ 3.03. There was no significant difference in scores according to the subjects’ individual characteristics or whether they had met nursing officers prior to the study. The results of analyzing the determinants of the images of nursing officers, the ’subjective factor’ was found to be most determinant at 4.02. The subjects responses about they perceived to be required most of nursing officers was ’expert knowledge,’ which was followed by ’nursing skills,’ ’a sense of respectfulness and thoughtfulness,’ and ’responsibility’.
Conclusion: To implement effective publicity activity for military personnel, it is necessary to develop various intervention strategies to influence the determinants of nurse’s images in order to create a more professional image of nursing officers.
