Purpose: To identify the type of disease-related stress experienced by women who received mastectomy for breast cancer using Q methodology. Method: Q sample included 30 statements obtained from literature and interviews with women with mastectomy. P sample consisted of 22 patients with mastectomy. The data were collected from November to December 2002 and analyzed using QUANL program. Result : Four types of disease-related stress experienced by women with mastectomy were found. Type 1 was manifested for a short duration following surgery and characterized by lowered self-esteem, feelings of emptiness and depression because of impaired body image. Type 2 was characterized by declined physical strength, resulting in frequent fatigue in the daily life and less intimate relationship with spouse. Type 3 was manifested by perfectionists with strong sense of self-pride who received or considered breast reconstruction surgery. Type 4 was reported by those who had long period of post-surgery. This type reported a strong sense of discomfort for wearing an artificial breast but didn't show any intention of trying breast reconstruction surgery. Conclusion: Women with mastectomy were found to experience different type of disease-related distress. Therefore, nurses should assess the type of stress the patient experiences following a mastectomy to provide appropriate nursing care.

본 연구는 Q방법론을 통해 국가경찰 이미지 제고에 대한 주관적 인식유형의 특성과 함의를 알아보고, 이에 따라 국민의 신뢰도 회복을 위해 경찰의 이미지를 실천적으로 개선하는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 연구방법론에서는 간과하기 쉬운 개별 응답자의 주관적 인식을 객관적으로 측정할 수 있는 Q방법론을 활용하여 국가경찰 이미지 제고에 대한 인식유형을 분석함으로써 향후 실증연구를 위한 탐색적 과정을 제시하였다. 분석 결과, 경찰 이미지 제고에 대한 인식은 교육 및 인력 관리의 중요성을 강조하는 교육 및 인력 관리형, 의무 준수의 필요성을 강조하는 의무 준수형, 공공인식을 중요하게 생각하는 이미지 추구형, 그리고 경찰관의 대우와 공정한 법집행을 강조하는 법적 개선형 등 4가지 유형으로 분류되었으며, 응답자의 주관성 인식에 따라 경찰 이미지 제고에 대한 유형별 특성이 차이를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석 결과를 기반으로 본 연구는 Q방법론의 활용 가능성과 실증연구를 위한 탐색적 연구로서 그 유용성을 제공할 것으로 본다.

이 연구는 인간의 주관성을 탐구할 수 있는 Q 방법론을 이용하여 경찰행정학과 학생들의 경찰 이미지에 대한 주관적 태도유형을 살펴본 것이다. 40개의 Q 표본을 선정하여 40명의 대학생들에게 분류토록 한 결과 모두 3개의 경찰 이미지 유형이 도출되었다. 제1유형은 판타스틱형 이미지, 제2유형은 스트레스형 이미지, 제3유형은 카리스마형 이미지라고 명명되었다. 그러나 전반적으로 경찰행정학과 학생들은 경찰 이미지를 긍정적으로 평가하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 졸업 후 경찰이 되고자 하는 의지도 매우 강한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 한 경찰행정학과 학생들의 경찰에 대한 주관적 이미지는 향후 경찰 행정학과 학생들의 진로선택에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되며, 경찰에서는 이를 통해 경찰 이미지 개선을 위한 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 20~30대 마라톤 동호회 활동 참가자들의 동호회 활동에 대한 인식을 탐색하는 데 있다. 연구 방법은 인간의 주관적 태도나 가치를 탐색할 수 있는 Q-방법론을 활용하였고, 수도권에서 마라톤 동호회 활동에 참여하고 있는 20~30대의 젊은 마라토너 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 총 3개의 유형으로 분류되었다. 제1유형은 의미부여형으로, 신체활동과 고통 극복 그리고 런너스 하이를 경험하는 등 마라톤 활동의 본질에 의미를 두고 있다. 제2유형은 여가형으로, 일상에서 벗어나 여러 사람들과 마라톤이라는 공통의 취미를 즐기고 개인적 스트레스를 해소하는 것에 의미를 두고 있다. 제3유형은 동호회형으로, 다양한 특성을 가진 동호회원들과 관계를 맺고 동호회 활동을 통한 즐거운 축제를 즐기며 성취감과 개인의 건강 그리고 삶을 관리하는 것에 의미를 두고 있다. 이러한 결과는 개인의 주관성에 따라 마라톤의 의미가 몇 개로 유형화됨을 알 수 있고, 이는 젊은이들의 스포츠 문화의 경향을 이해하는 데 의미있는 시사점을 제공할 것이다.

본 연구는 문화적 특이성을 지닌 산후조리에 대해 한국의 임부 남편이 갖는 주관성을 Q 방법론을 사용하여 탐색한 국내 최초의 연구로, 임부 남편의 산후조리에 대한 주관성을 유형화하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 207개의 Q 모집단에서 37개의 Q 표본을 선정하였고, 임부의 남편인 40명의 P 표본에게 2018년 3월에서 5월까지 조사하였다. 임부 남편의 산후조리 주관성은 3개 유형인 '부부 중심의 여성건강 증진 추구형', '사회적 지원이 필요한 산모의 정서적 회복 기대형', '가족이 함께 새 가족체계 적응 노력형'으로 확인되었고, 유형의 공통된 특징은 남편에게도 충분한 출산휴가가 필요하며, 산모에게는 편안한 환경 제공이 중요하다는 것이었다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 부부가 함께 참여하는 융합적인 산전 서비스, 산후조리 프로그램, 전문가의 개입 및 남편에 대한 출산 전 교육 제공이 필요하다. 관련 기관은 법령과 정책을 통해 남편의 적극적 산후조리 참여를 위한 방안을 더욱 확대하고, 부부 및 가족들의 요구에 대한 융합적 시각의 조사 연구가 지속적으로 이루어질 것을 제언한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the subjective perception structures and types of empathy among nurses caring for patients with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) using Q-methodology. Methods: Thirty-eight Q-samples (statements) were derived from in-depth interviews with 10 nurses working in long-term care hospitals and nursing homes. The Q-sorting was conducted in rank order (the responses obtained by each of the 30 nurses working at 3 long-term care hospitals and 4 nursing homes) into a normal distribution grid (from -4 to +4). The types of empathy among participants were analyzed using the PC-QUANL program. Results: Five types of empathy accounting for 48.5% of the total variance were categorized as follows: (1) taking the patients' personality into consideration while helping, (2) interacting closely and emotionally, (3) supporting the patient as a companion, (4) performing the duty in a defensive manner, and (5) resolving patients' problems by focusing on their needs. Conclusion: This study shows that there are various types of empathy in nurses caring for patients with BPSD. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies and educative programs to enhance empathy competency and deal with burnout based on the type of empathy.

Purpose: This study aimed to distinguish and describe the types of perceptions of do not resuscitate (DNR) proxy decisions among families of elderly patients in a long-term care facility. Methods: This exploratory study applied Q-methodology, which focuses on individual subjectivity. Thirty-four Q-statements were selected from 130 Q-populations formed based on the results of in-depth interviews and literature reviews. The P-samples were 34 families of elderly patients in a long-term care hospital in Busan, Korea. They categorized the Q-statements using a 9-point scale. Using the PC-QUANL program, factor analysis was performed with the P-samples along an axis. Results: The families' perceptions of the DNR proxy decision were categorized into three types. Type I, rational acceptance, valued consensus among family members based on comprehensive support from medical staff. Type II, psychological burden, involved hesitance in making a DNR proxy decision because of negative emotions and psychological conflict. Type III, discreet decisions, valued the patients' right to self-determination and desire for a legitimate proxy decision. Type I included 18 participants, which was the most common type, and types II and III each included eight participants. Conclusion: Families' perceptions of DNR proxy decisions vary, requiring tailored care and intervention. We suggest developing and providing interventions that may psychologically support families.

Methods: This study applied Q-methodology. Two hundred and nineteen Q populations were constructed based on related literature and in-depth interviews with 5 adults infected with COVID-19 and who experienced quarantine and hospitalization. Interviews were performed from November 14 to 29, 2020. A total of 45 Q samples were extracted and Q sorting was performed using a 9-point scale for 30 adult subjects who experienced quarantine at hospitals and community treatment centers. The data were analyzed using the PC-QUANL program. Results: The perception of subjects toward quarantine measures was classified into the following six types: 'passive acceptance', 'social stigma perception', 'appreciation of daily life through awareness of the realities of illness', 'why me?', 'fearful perception', and 'positive meaning'. Conclusion: The perception of quarantine measure among patients with COVID-19 is identified as six types with positive and negative emotional characteristics. This result will contribute to the development of individualized strategies to address psychosocial health problems among patients with infectious diseases.
