Methods In order to construct the method Q population, a written interview contents of nursing students' perceptions of nursing law enactment and a literature review related to nursing law enactment were conducted. Based on the results derived through this, the Q population was constructed, and a total of 34 Q sample statements were derived through the process of organizing statements with unclear or overlapping meanings. The Q sample statements were classified by the Q principle, which forced 45 nursing students to classify them in the normal distribution table on a 9-point scale, and the final collected Q classification responses were coded as numbers and analyzed using the pc-QUANL program. Results As a result of the study, five types of perceptions of nursing students about the enactment of nursing laws were identified. The first type was ‘guaranteed follow-up procedures of nursing law’, the second type was ‘wanted to guarantee nursing expertise in nursing law’, the third type was ‘cognition type of difficulty in enacting nursing law’, the fourth type was ‘a smooth resolution wish type’, and the fifth type was ‘confirmation type of the purpose of legislation of nursing law’.
