Caring for dying patients requires specific attitudes. Medical students often feel unprepared to cope with issues related to end-of-life care. Little is known about the relationships between personality and attitudes toward the dying; consequently, it is difficult for medical educators to devise training that is best suited to prepare students for practicing palliative medicine. The study aimed to investigate the role of personality in predicting students' attitudes toward the care of the dying. The study findings suggest a significant link between more self-directed and less harm-avoidant personality profiles and more developed attitudes toward the dying. Personality assessment in medical curricula is important, not merely to help teachers plan tailored training but also to foster in future doctors the propensity to develop a patient-centered practice.
照顾临终患者需要特定的态度。医学生常常觉得自己没有做好应对临终关怀相关问题的准备。关于人格与对临终者态度之间的关系，我们了解得很少；因此，医学教育工作者很难设计出最适合让学生为从事姑息治疗做好准备的培训。这项研究旨在调查人格在预测学生对临终关怀态度方面的作用。研究结果表明，更多自我导向型和更少回避伤害型的人格特征与对临终者更成熟的态度之间存在显著联系。在医学课程中进行人格评估很重要，这不仅有助于教师规划量身定制的培训，还能培养未来医生以患者为中心开展医疗实践的倾向。
