Abstract

This study is intended to find out the subjectivity of nursing students regarding diet, describe the characteristics for each type of subjectivity, and categorize the types of subjectivity. We applied the Q-methodology for this study. 18 students in junior and senior years in the nursing school at a certain university who have been on OJT have been asked to categorize 49 statements on diet. The collected data have been analyzed by using QUANL PC Program. As result of this study, the types of recognition of the nursing students were categorized into 3 types and the subjective types are ‘the diet type compelled by circumstances’, ‘the diet type for health’, and ‘the diet type for additional benefits’. This study has been served as the basic material for figuring out views and education of nursing students regarding diet.
