Abstract

One hundred and forty of nursing students of the 3rd class of Hirosaki university school were evaluated with two kind of psychological test (Yatabe-Guilford test; Y-G test and Cornell Medical Index; CMI) before their surgical nursing practice in the university hospital.
The relationship between the type of student's characteristic and our evaluation mark for their primary practice was compared.
The results were as follows:
1) According to the results of Y-G test, the students with D type (emortional stable and social adapted) were highly marked on the count of total evaluation, including of grade of nursing knowledge, technics and manner, but no co-relation of the evaluation type or introversion type.
2) There were no difference of the evaluation count between the students diagnosed to be in normal level and to be in neurotic tendency with CMI test.
Therefore, nursing staff need to know the characteristics of each student and to learn how to teach rationally according to their individuality.
