Sixty-seven nursing students participated in this study. Twenty-three different words and 10 different colors were presented to students. Each student answered how each word or color corresponded to her attitude toward her surgical nursing course using a scale of 1 to 5. We also surveyed the background of each student to: (1) admission to hospital and/or surgery on herself or a family member, (2) duration of attending meetings in a surgical ward, (3) degree of self-confidence in nursing skill, (4) previous grade in surgical nursing course, (5) degree of self-esteem, and (6) lifestyle. Using factor analysis, We found five factors which were combined in students' attitudes toward their surgical course : (1) fearful and difficult (factor 1); (2) favorite (factor 2); (3) too fast and hard (factor 3); (4) uncomfortable (factor 4); and (5) gentle and human but negative (factor 5). High self-esteem correlated with factor 1 (P<0.01). Lifestyle correlated with factor 1 (P<0.01) and with factor 3 (P<0.05). Factor 4 correlated with a low grade on a previous surgical nursing course (P<0.01). We concluded that our students had negative attitudes toward their surgical nursing couses before practice and that these negative attitude related to previous lifestyle, a low grade in a previous surgical nursing course, or a high degree of self-esteem., Article, 紀要 18: 31-42(1993)}, pages = {31--42}, title = {看護学生の外科看護のイメージに関する研究(第1報) : 臨床実習前のイメージと関連する要因の分析}, volume = {18}, year = {1993} }
