Abstract

Background

Working in the perioperative context is complex and challenging. The continual evaluation in this environment underscores the need for adaptability to technological advancements, and requires substantial allocation of resources for training and education. This study aimed to explore personality characteristics of nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses that are instrumental for sustainable employability in technologically advanced environment.

Methods

Exploratory, cross-sectional survey study including nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses, both certified and in training, and a sample of the normative Dutch population. Personality characteristics were identified with the Big Five Inventory, which consisted of 60 items answered on a five-point Likert scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree).

Results

Specific personality traits were found for nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses when compared to the normative Dutch population. Traits of both nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses differed significantly on all domains of the Big Five Inventory, with the largest differences found within the dimension negative emotionally.

Conclusions

This study highlights the role of specific personality traits in maintaining employability within the rapidly evolving and technologically advanced landscape of healthcare. It emphasizes the relationship between individual traits and professional excellence, being crucial educational strategies for overall improvement in healthcare.

荷兰麻醉护士和外科护士的人格特征与荷兰正常人群的比较，一项定量调查研究

围手术期的工作既复杂又具有挑战性。对这一环境的持续评估强调了适应技术进步的必要性，并要求为培训和教育分配大量资源。本研究旨在探讨麻醉护士和手术护士的个性特征，这些特征有助于在技术先进的环境中实现可持续就业。本研究是一项探索性、横断面调查研究，调查对象包括获得资格证书和正在接受培训的麻醉师和手术护士，以及荷兰常模人口样本。人格特征通过 "大五量表 "进行识别，该量表由 60 个项目组成，采用李克特五点量表（从非常不同意到非常同意）进行回答。与荷兰正常人群相比，发现麻醉护士和手术护士具有特定的人格特质。麻醉护士和手术护士的性格特征在 "大五量表 "的所有维度上都存在显著差异，其中在消极情绪维度上的差异最大。这项研究强调了特定人格特质在快速发展、技术先进的医疗保健行业中保持就业能力的作用。它强调了个人特质与专业卓越性之间的关系，是全面提高医疗保健水平的重要教育策略。
