We did a follow-up study with 72 nursing students from the first grade to the third grade by using the Purpose In Life Test(PIL) and the PIL's part-A data was longitudinally analyzed. When they were in first grade they indicated higher scores than those in second and third grade. The analysis results showed that the first grade students have higher and clearer purpose of life than the second and third grade students. According to our results of the principal component analysis of PIL's part-A by each grade, the components are different. Especially the components about "death" are different. In the first grade, they feel only fear about "death", but in the second and third grade we could see they are making their attitudes to "death" by connecting "self existence". The second and third year students are coming to think about "meaning of life" and "death" self-directionally. This study suggests the necessity of subjects on the purpose in life and career counseling etc. for nursing students.
