Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand subjective structures of subjectivity on organ donation by using of Q method, draw up plans to promote positive perceptions by each type and utilize a basic material to provide authentic ways for activating organ donation.
Method/Statistical Analysis: To collect non-structured statements, a population was extracted by use of materials such as literatures and news articles and interviews, then finalized 32 Q samples. These were distributed final 33 p samples via Q sorting procedures and analysed the results throughout Q factors analysis.
Findings: Subjectivity of organ donation was finally verified 4 types and explained 59.2% of total variables. The power of explanation by type was 40.3% for the 1st type, 10.6% for the 2nd type, 4.8% for the 3rd type and 3.5% for the 4th type. Among 33 participants, 18 for 1st type, 6 for the 2nd type, 6 for the 3rd type and 3 for the 4th type was distributed. Each type was shown as a type for social public interest-oriented donors, a reluctant type for donating their conviction, a passive type for donating organs and a type for donating organs after their death recognition.
Improvements/Applications: This study will be helpful and useful in drawing up plans for promoting positive perceptions depending upon individual subjectivity of organ donation and utilizing basic materials to provide realistic ways for activating organ donation.

Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify type of attitude about advanced directives among the middle-aged using Q methodology.
Method/Statistical Analysis: For the Q population, an in-depth interview and literature review were used to select 34 Q samples for Q-sort. P-sample was made with 37 middle-aged and Q-sort was performed on a 9-point scale according to their subjective agreement. The analysis by PC-QUNAL program resulted in three types.
Findings: The result of this study showed 48.1% of total variance, with 20 people (38.2%) of Type 1, 12(5.7%) of Type 2, and 5(4.2%) of Type 3. The 1 st type named “yes, in principle” agreed to sign up advanced directives and disagreed life-long treatment. The people belonged to the 2nd type absolutely agreed to sign up advanced directives and thought its decision should be made on their own. This type can be called “Yes, absolutely type.” The 3rd type is “Probably I will, But” type. It means that they will be responsible for everything that might happen by family deciding to stop life-long treatment. They are unlikely to stop life-long treatment from a parent or a child position.
Improvements/Applications: As the result of this study suggests, based on classification of attitude about advanced directives among the middle-aged, intervention program for the middle-aged will need to be developed and different, individualized intervention strategies provided.
