In this paper n this paper It is a subjectivity study to grasp the subjectivity and the characteristics of each type of how Korean elderly perceives well dying. By applying the Q methodology, 31 elderly aged 65 or older living in G metropolitan city were selected as a convenient sampling method to classify 28 sentences of well-dying. Data were collected by distributing 28 selected Q samples on a Q distribution on a 9-point scale. Collected data was analyzed by Q factor after making data-file with QUANAL PC Program. As a result, the well-being perceived by the elderly was recognized as three types of 'accepting death', 'preparing death' and 'peaceful death'.The results of this study will be used as a basis for developing a more in-depth good death education program and interventions from the perspective of the elderly to prepare for good death.
