ABSTRACT

This study aims to classify the types of adaptation to college life among transfer nursing students and suggest the strategies for helping their adaptation according to the types. Q methodology was used such that thirty-seven Q statements were selected as the Q sample based on the literature, reported data and interviews and Q sorting was conducted by thirty-five transfer nursing students. The collected data were analyzed by using the PQMethod program. As a result of the study, four distinctive types of adaptation to college life for transfer nursing students were found such as Type I (Future Anxiety), Type II (Indifference), Type III (Harmony), and Type IV (Relations Directivity). Of these, the ‘Future Anxiety’ and ‘Harmony’ types showed a positive aspect in adaptation, whereas the ‘Indifference’ and ‘Relations Directivity’ types showed a negative aspect. Based on the findings, various strategies were discussed to assist transfer nursing students for their effective adaptation to school life by their types.
