Abstract

|
Purpose : The purpose of this study was to explore the perception and coping types of initial clinical practice of junior nursing students using the Q methodology.
Method : Q-methodology is a scientific method for identifying individual subjectivity. 38 Q-statements on a scale of 1-9 were deducted after intensive interview with thirty five participants in two universities in D city and reviewing related literatures. The collected data were analyzed using PC-QUNAL software.
Results : Three different types were identified from the examination. The types were labeled as ``positive-active participators``, ``burdened-overcareful endeavorers`` and ``abandoned-relation dependents``. Positive-active participators look on the bright side of initial clinical practice and they are self-motivated and are to be active students. Burdened-overcareful endeavorers are overwhelmed by overloaded practice or homework. They do their best but act very carefully in terms of clinical setting. Abandoned-relation dependents think their clinical experience depends on the nurses who work at their practice sites. They are dependent to faculties or friends.
Conclusion : The result of this study could make nursing educators to understand their students` initial clinical practice experiences and would provide the basis for developing clinical educational programs according to the nursing students` perception and coping types.
