4年制看護課程入学者の対人関係価値：3年制看護学生，非看護系学生との比較

1999年4年制看護課程に入学した看護学生の入学時の対人関係価値をKG-SIVによって現実の自己像とナースの理想像について調査し，これを同年に非看護課程に入学した学生と3年制看護課程に異なる時期（1990年，1993年，1996年）に入学した看護学生3コホートと比較した。その結果，4年制看護学生は非看護学生に比べ，「博愛」と「同調」を重視する程度が強く，「支持」と「承認」，「独立」を重視する程度が弱かった。また，彼女ら の対人関係価値は3年制看護課程の学生のそれに類似していた。さらに，コホートの年次的移行のなかで看護学生の対人関係価値は「支持」と「独立」への動機づけが増大し，「博愛」への動機づけが滅退する傾向を見せた。

This survey studied the interpersonal values held by a cohort of students admitted to a four-year course of nursing program in 1999 to determine whether they had the same interpersonal values as the third-year course nursing students. The KG-SIV (Kikuchi-Gordon Survey of Interpersonal Values) was administered twice at the beginning of the program. The subjects described 'self' for the first testing, while they described 'ideal nurse' for the second testing. Their scores on the self and the ideal nurse were compared with those obtained for three cohorts of nursing students who started the three-year course of nursing program in 1990, 1993 and 1996, respectively. Their scores on self were also compared with the scores obtained for four-year course students not majoring in nursing. Analyses showed that compared to the students not majoring in nursing the four-year course nursing students rated the values of Benevolence and Conformity as more important, while they rated the values of Support, Recognition and Independence as less important. Their scores were simliar to the scores given by the three-year course nursing students. Also, the values of Support and Independence increased while those of Benevolence decreased across the four cohorts of nursing students. It was concluded that nursing students hold distinctive interpersonal values as compared to non-nurses irrespective of their particular nursing program. Such values are ones that are beneficial to the nursing profession.
