Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare the images of infants held by university nursing students with those held by college childcare majors with the goal of clarifying the effect of pediatric nursing training on the formation of students'perception of infants. The survey of students was conducted using a questionnaire comprising lnoue et a1.'s 51 pairs of adjective opposites determined to be effective in measuring attitudes toward children,each pair item placed on a seven-point scale. The survey was administered before and after study periods for both groups of students and numerical values of responses were analyzed using a Mann-Whitney U test. Results indicated that the college childcare majors overwhelmingly tended to develop a more positive image of infants through their studies, while the university nursing students showed development of both positive and negative images. Such results suggest that the image of infants developed by university nursing students is relative to the type of practical training in which they are engaged,with kindergarten and nursery school practicums fostering positive perceptions and clinical practicums contributing to negative perceptions of infants.
