    Abstract

    The objective of this study was to identify different types of attitudes toward person-centered care in nursing students in Korea.Responses to the survey items were analyzed using Q methodology, which is a subjective method, via the PC QUANL software program. The results showed that the nursing students exhibited the following three main types of attitudes toward person-centered care. These findings suggest that education programs should be developed and implemented in consideration of these three types of attitudes toward person-centered care in nursing students.
