The concept of health among Japanese nursing students (Part 2)
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study compares the concept of health between nursing and non-nursing students. In this second part of our study, we analyzed the collected individual views on health and clarified the relevant factors and tendencies. Fourth-year nursing students had many more abstract and affirmative expressions, and non-nursing students had a tendency for both affirmative and mixed expressions. Moreover, only non-nursing students delivered negative expressions. Non-nursing students had a tendency to prioritize the social aspect of health first. However, this was not the case for nursing students. Fourth-year nursing students prioritized the physical aspect first compared with the other groups, but they did not put the mental aspect first compared with the other groups. Fourth-year nursing students can be said to consider their health not from one side, but from three sides, because they were anxious about their lifestyle and showed high levels of concern. Since fourth-year nursing students had many opportunities to experience both health and illness during their training, they considered their own health deeply and were simultaneously concerned about their healthy lifestyle. Deepening their own concept of health in connection with their actual life is required for people who wish to enter the nursing profession. Keywords: concept of health; non-nursing school student; nursing school student; lifestyle; mental, physical, and social health.
