This study compared temperament and character traits of Australian registered nurses and general practitioners. A cross-sectional quantitative design used the Temperament and Character Inventory. Total sample size was 426. Only main effects were detected. Nurses were higher in the temperament traits of Novelty Seeking and Reward Dependence, lower in the character traits of Self-Directedness and Cooperativeness but higher in Self-Transcendence compared with the sample of doctors. Differences in personality profiles between registered nurses and general practitioners might challenge existing stereotypes between these professions. Further exploration of traits exclusive to and shared among health professions would supplement a broad conceptualization of specialities and support the enhancement of appropriate training and career counselling. Awareness of one's temperament and character can lead to a clearer understanding of how they function in the workplace and might encourage reflection on and insight into the implications of their personality and career plans.
本研究比较了澳大利亚注册护士和全科医生的气质和性格特征。采用横断面定量设计，使用气质和性格量表。总样本量为426。仅检测到主效应。与医生样本相比，护士在寻求新奇和奖励依赖的气质特征方面得分较高，在自我导向和合作性的性格特征方面得分较低，但在自我超越方面得分较高。注册护士和全科医生之间的人格特征差异可能会挑战这些职业之间现有的刻板印象。进一步探索卫生专业特有的和共有的特征，将补充对专业的广泛概念化，并支持加强适当的培训和职业咨询。了解自己的气质和性格可以更清楚地了解它们在工作场所的作用，并可能鼓励反思和洞察其个性和职业规划的影响。
