The purpose of this research is to analyze care types in long-term care facilities with the view of Active Ageing by using Q-methodology. In-depth interviews were conducted to grasp various thoughts on care of long-term care facilities in three areas of WHO's active aging: health, safety, and participation. 35 people participated in the interview, including the elderly living in long-term care facilities, adult children of the elderly living in long-term care facilities, the elderly living in the community, service providers, and long-term care professionals. Of the 451 Q populations, 63 Q samples were extracted, and a total of 43 P samples were used for final data analysis. Data were analyzed using the QUANL program, and as a result, three factor structures (4 types) were found to be suitable and accounted for 30.15% of the total variance. Current care types in long-term care facilities were analysed into 4 types: protection-oriented care (type 1), participation-oriented care (type 2), medical-connected care (type 3), and human-centered care (type 4). Based on the results of this study, institutional and practical suggestions and implications were presented for the qualitative change of care in long-term care facilities.

As a result of the research, their attitude toward hand washing was classified into 3 types. The three factors extracted all had eigenvalues greater than 1.0 and explained approximately 56.67% of the variation in responses 40.41%, 10.14% and 6.11% respectively. Type 1 was the ones with the increased number of hand washing; Type 2 was the ones who recognize the need of hand washing education; and Type 3 was the ones who dry hands after washing.

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.

The purpose of this study was to explore early childhood pre-service teachers' belief in homosexuality. This study applied the Q-method to investigate teachers'subjective awareness of homosexuality. Using an open questionnaire, we asked participants to describe how they think about homosexuality. Forty-five pre-service teachers were Q-sampled. Using the QUANL program, 45 statements were classified into 9 levels. Results revealed that image types of early childhood pre-service teachers can be classified into four distinguished categories: 1) type of respect: to regard gays and lesbians as normal people who love the same sex, 2) type of acknowledgment: to regard them as very unique people who attract people's attention, 3) type of relation-denying: to regard them as someone who were born totally differently, and 4) type of extremely denying-to regard them not being respected and disgusting. Most of the teachers seemed to have a tendency to acknowledge and respect individuals'sexual orientation. However, some pre-service teachers still have a negative attitude toward homosexuality. The significance of this study is to reveal the silenced issue, that is, sexual orientation in the field of early childhood multicultural education. Teachers can have a strong effect on young children's belief about sexual identity and sexual orientation. It would be important to look back on educators'perspective on homosexuality before suggesting the direction of multicultural education of young children related to the issue of sexual orientation.
