Using Q-methodology, 43 nursing student sorted 34 statements selected professional nurse type. The statement positions on the sorting continuum were scored from +4(representing the highest level of agreement) through 0(at the neutral position on the continuum) through -4(representing the highest level of disagreement). Factor analysis of the data was undertaken using PC QUANL software to determine if any patterns were discernible. The three factors extracted eigenvalues greater than 1.0 and explained approximately 53.94% of the variation in responses(41.63, 7.41 and 4.9% respectively). The categories were labeled 'Nightingale's nursing philosophy type', 'Consideration of patient type' and 'Self-development type'.

본 연구는 당뇨병 환자의 자기조절에 대한 주관적 유형과 특성을 분석하고자 시도되었으며, 당뇨병 환자의 주관성을 연구하는데 효과적인 Q방법론을 적용하였다. 대상자는 제2형 당뇨병을 진단받은 사람으로서 경구약이나 인슐린 주사로 치료받고 있으나 현재는 입원한 싱태가 아닌 사람 38명으로 구성하였으며, Q표본 40개의 진술문을 가장 부정(-4)에서 가장 긍정(+4) 범위의 9점 척도 상에 분류하도록 하였다. Q분류된 자료는 QUANL PC program을 이용하여 주요인분석(principal component factor analysis)과 배리맥스 회전(varimax rotation)을 통해 Q 요인분석이 행해졌다. 분석결과 당뇨병환자 자기조절에 대학여 제 1유형은 근거기반 순응형, 제2유형은 위기의식 자립거부형, 제3유형은 정보기반 관계지향형, 제4유형은 자기신뢰 실천형, 제5유형은 주관적 결핍 기반 반응 행동형으로 5가지 유형의 관점을 보여주었다. 따라서 당뇨병 환자 효율적 관리방법을 위해 당뇨병 환자의 질병 관리의 부정적 행위 성향을 이해하고, 당뇨지식 교육, 당뇨관리 정보 및 긍정적 심리를 통한 자기조절 프로그램을 개발 할 필요가 있다.

Since 1990, descriptive studies about the concept of client advocacy have been published in the health journals. However, empirical studies of the concept are still lacking. There are not enough bases to apply the concept of client advocacy in nursing practice. The purpose of this paper is to encourage empirical research about client advocacy by clarification of the concept and to discusses application of the theory in child healthcare. The literature was reviewed that empirical studies on client advocacy conducted after the year 2000. The changing trends in the client advocacy concept was examined; it was changed from the philosophical concept to nursing action and changed from individual advocacy to collective advocacy, with the rise of the self advocacy concept. The research trends on client advocacy evolves from descriptive study to quasi-experimental study and instrument development study, with diversification and expansion of research methods, advocates, clients and settings. The advocacy role of the nurse in child healthcare is significant due to the child's lack of self determination ability. In ill child care, the application of individual advocacy is potent, while in healthy child care, collective advocacy, policy advocacy, and social advocacy is effective.
