Career adaptability enables individuals to navigate their career paths and address workplace challenges by gaining insight into themselves and their profession, empowering them to make informed decisions. This study was performed to reveal the association of nursing and midwifery students' personality traits and professional behavior with career adaptability.
This cross-sectional study's sample consisted of nursing and midwifery students in the medical sciences of a state university in Tabriz (n = 210). The data were collected using the Student Information Questionnaire, Students Professional Behavior Questionnaire, Ten Item Personality Inventory, and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale. Descriptive tests and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the variables that affect the career adaptability of students.
The mean (SD) points on the personality trait sub-dimensions of nursing and midwifery students were highest in agreeableness 8.95 (3.03) and lowest in extraversion 7.54 (2.30). The mean (SD) on the Scale of Student's Professional Behavior and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale were 114.88 (14.14) and 97.22 (15.59), respectively. The statistically significant association between the personality traits, Student's Professional Behavior, with career adaptability scores were weak and moderate, respectively. The 3 regression models used to determine the variables that affect the career adaptability of nursing students were significant. Of the variables in the models, professional behavior, extraversion, and how to choose a field (voluntary or non-voluntary) significantly influenced the total score on career adaptability. And the greatest impact was related to the professional behavior (β = 0.373, P < 0.001).
The results showed a direct correlation between personality traits with career adaptability. Also, high professional behavior and the voluntary choice of study field can be effective on career adaptability. The results suggest informing the students to choose the right field and planning and carrying out the necessary interventions to provide the proper education on professional behaviors. In addition, creating opportunities to improve personality traits can help the students' career adaptability.
职业适应能力使个体能够通过深入了解自己和职业来规划职业道路并应对工作场所的挑战,从而使他们能够做出明智的决策。本研究旨在揭示护理与助产专业学生的人格特质和职业行为与职业适应能力之间的关联。
本横断面研究的样本包括大不里士一所国立大学医学专业的护理与助产专业学生(n = 210)。数据通过学生信息问卷、学生职业行为问卷、十项人格量表和职业适应能力量表收集。描述性测试和Pearson相关分析用于数据分析。线性回归分析用于确定影响学生职业适应能力的变量。
护理与助产专业学生人格特质子维度的平均(标准差)得分中,宜人性最高,为8.95(3.03),外向性最低,为7.54(2.30)。学生职业行为量表和职业适应能力量表的平均(标准差)分别为114.88(14.14)和97.22(15.59)。人格特质、学生职业行为与职业适应能力得分之间的统计学显著关联分别为弱和中等。用于确定影响护理专业学生职业适应能力变量的3个回归模型具有显著性。在模型中的变量中,职业行为、外向性以及选择专业的方式(自愿或非自愿)对职业适应能力总分有显著影响。其中影响最大的是职业行为(β = 0.373,P < 0.001)。
结果表明人格特质与职业适应能力之间存在直接关联。此外,高职业行为和自愿选择学习领域对职业适应能力有积极影响。结果提示应告知学生选择合适的领域,并规划和实施必要的干预措施以提供关于职业行为的适当教育。此外,创造改善人格特质的机会有助于提高学生的职业适应能力。
