ABSTRACT

This article describes an exploratory study undertaken to identify the types of attitudes clinical nurses have toward person-centered nursing and to explain the characteristics of each type. In this study, 42 clinical nurses working at hospitals in Daegu and Kyungbuk were selected as a P sample through convenience sampling, and 37 Q samples were allocated according to a normal distribution. The collected data were analyzed using a PC-QUANL program (ver. 0.74; DOSBox). Three types of attitudes toward personcentered care were identified: Type I (a ‘Holistic care pursuit type’), Type II (a ‘care environment support type’), and Type III (a ‘relation oriented type’). The total variance explained by these types was 55.9%. The results of this study indicate that intervention strategies corresponding to all three attitude types should be implemented in person-centered nursing.
