Abstract
This study is a descriptive research study conducted to identify factors affecting personality by examining subjective happiness, ethical sensitivity, empathy ability, and personality of nursing students. The study subjects were 165 students enrolled in the Department of Nursing in Gyeonggi-do, and data collection was conducted through an online survey from September 9 to October 18, 2020. The average of subjective happiness, ethical sensitivity, empathy ability, and happiness of nursing students is 5.11±1.03 points, 4.33±.38 points, 3.83±.42 points, and 4.09±.39 points. Personality positively correlated with subjective happiness, ethical sensitivity, and empathy ability. The significant factors influencing personality were major satisfaction, subjective happiness, ethical sensitivity, which explained 52.8% of the variance in nursing students' personality. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop an educational program that considers ethical sensitivity, subjective happiness, and major satisfaction with high explanatory power for personality.
