Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Psychology
- Healthcare
Background:
- Personality preferences are vital for healthcare education and stress management in nursing.
- Stress in nursing education is well-researched, but its link to personality, especially in clinical settings, needs more exploration.
- This study examines personality preferences and stress perception in nursing students across three programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between personality preferences and stress perception among nursing students.
- To identify common personality profiles within nursing programs.
- To understand how different personality traits relate to stress levels and coping mechanisms.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 780 nursing students.
- Data collected via structured questionnaires on demographics, personality preferences (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - MBTI), and stress perception (Nurse Stress Checklist).
- Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and independent t-tests.
Main Results:
- Three prevalent personality preferences were identified: E, N, F, P; I, S, T, J; and I, S, F, J.
- Significant relationships were found between stress and personality preferences, specifically in extraversion/introversion and thinking/feeling dimensions.
- No significant differences in stress levels were noted across the different nursing programs.
Conclusions:
- Each personality trait demonstrates distinct stress coping mechanisms.
- Addressing student stress is critical to prevent academic burnout and attrition.
- Findings can guide tailored stress-reduction strategies that accommodate diverse personality traits, improving student success in nursing programs.
