Personality preferences and stress perception among nursing students in different nursing programmes: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUnderstanding personality preferences is crucial for guiding healthcare education and the stress management strategies of nursing students. While stress in nursing education has been well studied, its relationship with personality preferences, particularly in clinical settings, has been underexplored. This study aims to investigate the relationship between personality preferences and stress perception among nursing students in three different nursing programmes.
methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 780 nursing students. We used structured questionnaires to collect data on demographics, personality preferences, and stress perception. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was used to measure personality preferences across four dimensions: extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. The Chinese version of the MBTI and the Nurse Stress Checklist were also employed. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and independent t-tests.
resultsThree common personality preferences were identified: extraversion, intuition, feeling, and perceiving; introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging; and introversion, sensing, feeling, and judging. The findings indicate that stress was significantly related to personality preferences. There were significant differences in the stress scores and the extraversion/introversion and thinking/feeling subscales. However, no significant differences in stress levels were observed across different nursing programmes.
conclusionsEach personality trait exhibited specific stress coping mechanisms. Addressing students' stress is crucial because it can lead to academic burnout and attrition. This study's findings can inform strategies to reduce stress while accommodating students' personality traits, ultimately enhancing student success in nursing programmes.
