ABSTRACT
This study was attempted to explore the recognition of life after death in nursing college students who experienced clinical training by using Q methodology. Data were analyzed by using the PC-QUANL Program and as a result, a total of four types were discovered: ‘Present-life succession type’, ‘Life-after-death denial type’, ‘Life-after-death expectancy type’, and ‘Surrender-to-fate type.’ The findings from this study provided some opportunity to understand the view of life after death in nursing college students and based on this, there is a need to investigate the impact of the view of life after death of nursing college students who will become a future nurse clinician on bioethics-based terminal care. Accordingly, follow-up study needs to be performed.
