Özet
Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the personality traits of senior nursing students and their perceptions of professional readiness in the distance education process. Method: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 315 senior nursing students, who were reached using the snowball sampling method between March 28 and July 30, 2023. Data were collected online using the Descriptive Information Form, the Nursing Professional Readiness Perception Scale and the Ten-Item Personality Inventory. Descriptive statistical methods (Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation), Independent samples t-test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, and Pearson Correlation analyses were used for data analysis. Results: It was determined that 56.8% of the students participating in the study reported that the courses completed through distance education negatively affected their professional readiness, and 65.7% were not willing to choose the nursing profession again. It was found that the students' perceptions of professional readiness were at a high level, and when their personality traits were evaluated, the highest average score was obtained from the openness to experience subscale. In addition, statistically significant relationships were found between the Ten-Item Personality Inventory and the sub-dimension scores of the Nursing Professional Readiness Perception Scale (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that senior nursing students' perceptions of professional readiness in the distance education process were at a high level and there was a significant relationship between their perceptions of professional readiness and personality traits.
