|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify and explain the subjectivity of care workes¡¯ perception on remaining functional ability care.
Methods: This study applied the Q-methodology approach. Through a literature review and individual interviews related to the topic of the study, 37 Q-statements were finally derived from 200 Qpopulations, and 40 P-samples were asked to classify the Q statements. The data were analyzed using the QUANL Program. Factor analysis was performed using the P-samples along the axis.
Results: As a result, Type 1 sees the need for remaining functional ability care in the physical area, and Type 2 recognizes the need for remaining functional ability care in the cognitive and psychological areas. Type 3 negatively perceives remaining functional ability care. Type 4 sees remaining functional ability care as an inaccessible area.
Conclusion: This study suggests care workers should provide remaining functional ability care and institutions should develop an educational program on the concept¡¯s effect and enhance care workers¡¯ roles and task types so they can develop expertise.
