The aim of this study is to enrich nursing education by clarifying the relationship between personality traits, motivation, and career paths in professional nursing. This cross-sectional study surveyed 150 nurses from a polyclinic in Japan that performs internal medicine and surgery. The survey covered several aspects of personality, work motivation, and career development using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory, Work Motivation Scale, and Nurses' Job Career Scale. The demographics of the participants were also recorded. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the personality traits extraversion and agreeableness had a direct and positive impact on nurses' interest in team collaboration, but not on career development. Interest in career improvement was related to conscientiousness as a power toward purpose and openness as an aspect of curiosity. Conscientiousness and openness were indirectly related to the development and adjustment of interpersonal relationships and self-capability development through interest in career improvement. Interest in patient support positively impacted the implementation and pursuit of quality nursing. The findings highlight the need to account for individual differences in personality and motivation to support nurses' success during their nursing education and in the workplace.
本研究旨在通过阐明专业护理人员的人格特质、动机和职业道路之间的关系来丰富护理教育。这项横断面研究调查了日本一家内科和外科综合诊所的 150 名护士。该调查使用了 10 项人格量表、工作动机量表和护士职业量表，涵盖了人格、工作动机和职业发展的几个方面。还记录了参与者的人口统计学特征。多元回归分析表明，人格特质中的外向性和宜人性对护士对团队合作的兴趣有直接的积极影响，但对职业发展没有影响。对职业发展的兴趣与尽责性作为目标的动力和开放性作为好奇心的一个方面有关。尽责性和开放性通过对职业发展的兴趣与人际关系的发展和调整以及自我能力的发展间接相关。对患者支持的兴趣积极影响了优质护理的实施和追求。研究结果强调了在护理教育和工作场所中需要考虑人格和动机的个体差异，以支持护士的成功。
