Purpose

The purpose of this study was to analyze death attitudes of students majoring in the human service area, such as nursing science, education, and social welfare.

The Q-methodology which provides a method of analyzing the subjectivity of each item was used. The 38 selected Q-statements from each of 42 subjects were classified into a shape of normal distribution using a 9 point scale. The collected data was analyzed using a QUANL PC program.
