| Summary |
This study, based on a quantitative descriptive design, was undertaken to answer the research question, What are the preference types of registered nurses working in the specialty areas of psychiatry, emergency medicine, and critical care as determined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicators? The MBTI, a self-report measure of psychological values based on Jung's theory of personality, was used to examine data related to the hypothesis that similar preference--or personality--types gravitate to certain specialty areas in nursing. Support for this hypothesis would have far-reaching implications for placement and education, allowing for greater job satisfaction and retention of nurses in the field. |
