Abstract:
Objective? To explore the distribution of Myers and Briggs Types Indictor(MBTI) personality type and status quo of professional identity in senior nursing undergraduates. Methods? Totally 230 full-time nursing undergraduates from 4 medical universities in Beijing were selected by convenient sampling between March and July 2017 and investigated with the general information questionnaire, MBTI-M Personality Type Scale and Professional Identity Scale for Nursing Undergraduates. Totally 230 questionnaires were distributed and 201 valid questionnaires were collected. Results? The professional identity score of the 201 senior nursing undergraduates was (83.40±10.47). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that registered county household, first choice, choice of nursing for personal love, positions of class or university and ESFJ personality had effects on professional identity of senior nursing undergraduates (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? The professional identity of senior nursing undergraduates remains at an average level. The professional identity of nursing students with ESFJ personality is higher than that of nursing students with other personality types. Nursing educators should pay attention to the difference of professional identity caused by nursing students' personality type, improve the professional identity of nursing undergraduates, and stabilize the nursing team with targeted measures.
