Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of undergraduates′ sub-health and explore the relationship between personality traits and sub-health and the mediating role of self-harmony. Methods A total of 196 undergraduate nursing students in Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were investigated by Sub-health Self-rating Scale (SSS), Self Consistency and Congruence Scale (SCCS) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Scale. Results The the total scores of the undergraduate nursing students′personality traits, self-harmony and sub-health were 22.71±4.90, 102.74±14.41, 182.54± 31.76. The neuroticism and extroversion of personality traits were significantly correlated with self-harmony and sub-health (P<0.01). Neuroticism had a significant prediction on self-harmony (β=0.37, P<0.01) and sub-health (β=-0.64, P<0.01), after controlling self-harmony, the prediction on sub-health was reduced, but still significant (β=-0.56, P<0.01);extroversion had a significant prediction on self-harmony (β=-0.27, P<0.01) and sub-health (β=0.54, P<0.01), after controlling self-harmony, the prediction on sub-health was reduced, but still significant (β=0.46, P < 0.01). Conclusions The sub-health status of undergraduate nursing students was not optimistic. Nursing students′ personality traits of psychoticism, extroversion, which directly impact on the health status, and through self-harmony indirectly affect their health level, self-harmony played a intermediary role between personality traits and sub-health.
