Abstract

This study examined the empathic ability and communication ability of nursing students according to Myers-Briggs type indicator(MBTI) personality type. This study was a cross sectional survey and the data was collected from 127 nursing students by means of self-reported questionnaires from October 5 to 30, 2015. The data collected was analyzed on SPSS win 18.0. Fourteen personality types were observed in this study participants. The SF type was the highest with a mean of 3.77 in empathic ability according to 4 functions of MBTI and the NF type was the highest with a mean of 3.81 in communication ability according to 4 functions of MBTI. The SP type and NF type was the highest with a mean of 3.71 in the empathic ability according to the 4 temperaments of MBTI and the NF type was the highest with a mean of 3.81 in the communication ability according to 4 temperaments of MBTI. Significant differences in the communication ability were observed according to 4 functions (F=3.194, p=.026) and 4 temperaments (F=3.004, p=.033) of MBTI. Further study will be needed to identify the effects of a self-understanding program on the empathic ability and communication ability. It is important to understand the nursing students' diversity and reflect it in a school curriculum.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 MBTI 성격유형을 확인하고 그에 따른 공감능력과 의사소통능력을 파악하기 위해 실시되었다. 본 연구의 자료 수집은 2015년 10월 5일에서 10월 30일까지 수행되었고, 자가보고식 설문지를 통해 수집된 127명의 자료를 SPSS WIN 18.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 대상자는 14가지 MBTI 성격유형으로 나타났다. MBTI의 4가지 심리기능유형에 따른 공감능력은 SF형이 평균 3.77점으로 가장 높았고, 의사소통능력은 NF형이 평균 3.81점으로 가장 높았으며, 공감능력은 유의한 차이가 없었으나 의사소통능력(F=3.194, p=.026)은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. MBTI의 4가지 심리기질유형에 따른 공감능력은 SP형과 NF형이 평균 3.71점으로 가장 높았고, 의사소통능력은 NF형이 평균 3.81점으로 가장 높았으며, 공감능력은 유의한 차이가 없었으나 의사소통능력(F=3.004, p=.033)은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그러므로, 간호대학생 대규모 표본을 대상으로 MBTI 성격유형에 따른 공감능력과 의사소통능력의 차이를 일반화할 수 있는 반복 연구를 수행하고, MBTI 성격유형 특성에 따른 효율적인 간호학과 교육과정을 구축할 필요가 있다.
