Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify and explain the subjectivity of care workes’ perception on remaining functional ability care.Methods: This study applied the Q-methodology approach. Through a literature review and individual interviews related to the topic of the study, 37 Q-statements were finally derived from 200 Q-populations, and 40 P-samples were asked to classify the Q statements. The data were analyzed using the QUANL Program. Factor analysis was performed using the P-samples along the axis.Results: As a result, Type 1 sees the need for remaining functional ability care in the physical area, and Type 2 recognizes the need for remaining functional ability care in the cognitive and psychological areas. Type 3 negatively perceives remaining functional ability care. Type 4 sees remaining functional ability care as an inaccessible area.Conclusion: This study suggests care workers should provide remaining functional ability care and institutions should develop an educational program on the concept’s effect and enhance care workers’ roles and task types so they can develop expertise.
