A study if Personality Structure and Hierarchy of Needs in Collegiate Nursing

Students

Choi, Kye Young

Department of Nursing Graduate School of Yonsei University

(Directed by Porfessor Hong, Shin Young)

Presently, the performance level of the college student has received a treat deal

of attention, particularly in the area of professional education. The problem of

underachievement, especially in areas dealing with science and technology, has gone

through considerable investigation by neumorous Psychologists and Educators. Thus

for, however, they have not been successful in determining conclusively the

non-intellectual factors involved.

The maladjustment problem of these students has been a thorn in the side of

nursing education for some time. This topic has been discussed among nursing

educators without any tangible results. Furthermore, the fact that the number of

students who withdraw from nursing education programs before graduation has

increased. This represents a major problem for nursing education.

This problem area had increased attention drawn to in an October 1957, when

Russia successfully launched to first satellite "Sputnik" into space. Various

studies seem to indicate that factors related to over-achievement and

under-achievement can be found in the motivation of the students.

This study is aimed at testing 3 hypotheses which hopefully will lead to a better

understanding of the learning activities of nursing students and to determine some

of their non-intellectual personality traits.

Hypothesis Ⅰ : If learning activities in nursing students and personality are

correlated, there will be significant differences in personality need structures

between 4 classes of nursing collegiate students.

Sub-hypothesis : There will also be significant differences in the degree of

student satisfaction in her major subject.

Hypothesis Ⅱ : If there is a special personality need structure which is

required for the clinical learning activity in general, then there will be

significant differences between the personality need structures of under-achievers

and over-achievers.

Hypothesis Ⅲ : If each clinical nursing subject requires different personality

need structures, then there will be differences in personality need structure

between the different clinical groups

Methodology:

1) Tool : A Korean translation and correction of the Edwards Personal Preference

Schedule of U.S.A. was used.

2) Subject Test Method : Subjects were nursing students at Yonsei University, who

enrolled for Fall semester of 1971. The Researcher herself executed the test for

the class as a group, and the absent students were tested individually. Out of 307

students, 293 students(95.4%) were reported.

3) Statistical treatment : The mean and standard deviation for each of the 15

personality need variables were computed and the value of T-test was obtained to

determine the differences in the personality need structures between each group.

Results :

1) For the first hypotheses, the personality need structures between each of the

4 classes and the reported degree of satisfaction in the major subject showed

significant differences. Therefore the hypothesis I was accepted.

2) The comparison of personality need structure of under-achievers and

over-achievers in clinical fields showed significant differences. Thus hypothesis

Ⅱ was accepted.

3) personality need structure between clinical subject groups showed significant

differences, therefore the 3rd hypothesis was accepted.
