Abstract

Background: Clinical education is the most stressful part of education for nursing students. This study investigated the relationship of nursing students’ personality traits with their perceived stress in clinical environment. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the relationship of nursing students’ personality traits with their perceived stress in clinical environment. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in October 2020 on 215 nursing students. Participants were selected through stratified random sampling from Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran. Data collection instruments were a demographic questionnaire, the NEO Personality Inventory short form, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Data analysis was done through the independent-samples t-test, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The mean score of perceived stress was 43.74±10.25 out of 56, implying high level of stress. Neuroticism personality trait had significant positive correlation with perceived stress (P < 0.001), whereas extraversion and agreeableness personality traits had significant negative correlations with perceived stress (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Healthcare authorities need to employ strategies to identify nursing students who are at risk for stress and improve their psychological readiness for attending clinical environment.

护生临床环境压力感与人格特征的关系

背景：临床教育是护理专业学生教育压力最大的部分。本研究调查了护生在临床环境中的人格特征与压力感知的关系。目的：本研究旨在探讨护生在临床环境中的人格特征与压力感知的关系。方法：这项横断面研究于2020年10月对215名护理专业学生进行。参与者是通过分层随机抽样从伊朗赞詹医学科学大学选出的。数据收集工具包括人口统计问卷、近地天体个性调查表和感知压力量表。数据分析采用独立样本t检验、皮尔逊相关分析和单因素方差分析。结果：在56分中，感知压力的平均得分为43.74±10.25，表明压力水平较高。神经质人格特征与感知压力呈正相关（P＜0.001），外向性和宜人性人格特征与感知压力呈显著负相关（P<0.05）。结论：卫生保健部门需要采取策略来识别有压力风险的护生，并提高他们进入临床环境的心理准备。
