Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analize the factor of consciousness to the psychosis of the students in a nursing colledge before the lecture on psychiatrics.
Objects of this study were 232 students in the school of allied Health science Yamaguchi University.
The way of this research was to write freely on a B5 sized paper the impression of patients with "psychosis". We classified the descriptions, and analized them by factor analysis. We picked up 3 factors, their names were sympathetic factor, fearful factor, and impressive factor. We also picked up 6 factors, their names were dislike factor, sympathetic factor, real imaginative factor, awaking factor for nursing, social imaginative factor, and interesting factor.
In the case of 6 factors, we compared the factor scores by the students' profile, such as entrance way, result of the lecture of psychiatrics, approach a patient or hospital, the year of class, and CAS-test. The result suggested students' profile related to the consciousness toward psychosis.
