Network diagram of terms associated with “what is the most important element of nursing for you?” with 60% reliability and a co-occurrence frequency ≥ 2. The number of clusters was confirmed that no nodes are independent. The size of the node indicates the term’s frequency. An edge → is a line connecting a node with other nodes. The direction of the arrow indicates that terms in the bottom node frequently co-occur with terms in the top node. Bidirectional arrows indicate that both terms co-occur frequently and interactively. The thickness of the line indicates a co-occurrence relationship and represents the frequency of co-occurrence.
