Abstract
of health anxiety was 22.86±4.05. The results of the NEO personality questionnaire showed that the highest mean (29.34±8.40) was related to the conscientiousness personality trait and the lowest to extroversion (25.53±8.64). The findings showed a positive and significant relationship between health anxiety and neurotic personality trait (P=0.001, r=0.411) and negative relationships with extraversion (P>0.05, r=-0.199) and openness to extroversion (β=-0.19, 95%CI; -0.66%, -0.04%, P=0.039) personality traits. Also, neuroticism (β=0.23, 95%CI; 0.06%, 0.8%, P=0.012) and extroversion (β=- 0.19, 95%CI; 0.66% to 0.04%, P=0.039) personality traits can predict health anxiety in nurses. The findings revealed that 7.9% of the variance of health anxiety could be explained by the nurse’s personality traits (F=2.81, R=0.256, R 2 =0.098, adjusted R 2 =0.079, P<0.05). Conclusion: According to the study results and considering the importance of nurses’ quality of performance, it is recommended that nurses with personality traits vulnerable to anxiety be identified, and the necessary training will be provided to them in the form of anxiety control and management workshops.
