A Multicenter Study Examined the Association between Fear Levels and Nursing Students' Personality Traits

Abstract

The aim of this multi-center study was to look into how personality traits such as nomophobia, which is on the rise among young people due to the increased use of technology, relate to fear levels in nursing students. The study included 424 prospective nurses in total, with an average age of 25 and a female participation rate of 84.7%. According to the findings, most nursing students showed mild panic when confronted with injections. Data on the individuals' levels of fear and personality qualities were gathered using the Nomophobia Questionnaire and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), respectively. The research revealed a substantial relationship between nomophobia and particular personality characteristics, shedding light on the causes of this fear. These results may be helpful in creating focused interventions to assist nursing students in overcoming their anxieties and enhancing their well-being.
