Prevention of malpractice is crucial for health care professionals since it could lead to morbidity and mortality. Personality traits of students, being health care professional candidates affect their academic self-efficacies and malpractice tendencies.
To investigate the effect of personality traits and academic self-efficacies of midwifery and nursing students on their malpractice tendencies.
The study was conducted with a total of 437 midwifery and nursing students studying at two universities between May and September 2019. The form of sociodemographic characteristics, Eysenck Personality Inventory, Academic Self-efficacy Scale, and Malpractice Tendency Scale were used to collect the data.
In the malpractice tendency scale, the students had the lowest score from patient monitoring and equipment safety subscale (x¯ = 40.59 ± 5.41) and the highest score from the communication subscale (x¯ = 22.78 ± 3.01). In the personality inventory, they were found to have the lowest score from the psychoticism subscale and the highest score from the extraversion subscale. Their academic self-efficacy mean score was 14.69 ± 3 0.49. Academic self-efficacy score was higher in the 1 year compared to the 4 year (P < 0.05). A negative correlation was found between neuroticism and extraversion subscales and academic self-efficacy (P < 0.01). A negative correlation was found between malpractice tendency and academic self-efficacy (P < 0.01).
It was observed that neuroticism and extraversion personality traits in students were found to be associated with low academic self-efficacy and increasing malpractice tendencies. Investigation of academic self-efficacy and malpractice tendencies of the students in accordance with their personality traits would contribute to the improvement, arrangement, and updating of educational curricula.
医疗事故的预防对医护人员至关重要，因为它可能导致发病和死亡。学生作为医护专业候选人的人格特质会影响他们的学业自我效能感和医疗事故倾向。
探讨助产和护理专业学生的人格特质与学业自我效能感对其医疗事故倾向的影响。
2019年5月至9月，对两所大学的437名助产和护理专业学生进行了研究。采用社会人口学特征表格、艾森克人格问卷、学业自我效能量表和医疗事故倾向量表收集数据。
在医疗事故倾向量表中，学生在患者监测和设备安全子量表上得分最低（x¯ = 40.59 ± 5.41），在沟通子量表上得分最高（x¯ = 22.78 ± 3.01）。在人格问卷中，他们在精神质子量表上得分最低，在外向性子量表上得分最高。他们的学业自我效能感平均分为14.69 ± 30.49。1年级学生的学业自我效能感得分高于4年级学生（P < 0.05）。神经质和外向性子量表与学业自我效能感之间存在负相关（P < 0.01）。医疗事故倾向与学业自我效能感之间存在负相关（P < 0.01）。
观察发现，学生的神经质和外向性人格特质与低学业自我效能感及增加的医疗事故倾向有关。根据学生的人格特质调查其学业自我效能感和医疗事故倾向，将有助于改进、安排和更新教育课程。
