| Summary: | 碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 醫務管理學研究所碩士在職專班 === 100 === Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of the Type D
personality on perceived job stress and physical-mental health
among doctors and nurses in a regional teaching hospital.
Methods: A sample of 333 healthcare professionals (86 doctors and 247 nurses) of a regional teaching hospital in Kaohsiung was eligible for the study.We adopted cross-sectional research design. The Type D Scale-14,Taiwanese version-revised self-report to measure Type D personality, the Questionnaire of Medical Workers’ Stress (QMWS) , and the Chinese Health Questionnaire-12 (CHQ-12）were used in the study. A conceptual model was analysed via structural equation modeling.
Results: The model fits the data well. Absolute fit test was Chi-square=9.7 d.f.=6， p= .14. Relative fit tests were GFI= .99，AGFI= .97， CFI= .99，TLI= .99，RMSEA= .04.The structural equation model showed that Type D personality directly influenced perceived job stress (Beta= .38，p< .001) and physical-mental health (Beta= .53，p< .001) . Perceived job stress directly influenced physical-mental health (Beta= .14，p= .027) . In other words, Type D personality had indirect influence on physical-mental health via perceived job stress too.
Conclusions: Type D personality had an obvious impact on perceived job stress and physical-mental health. Type D subjects had higher level of perceived job stress and poorer physical-mental health. The result can be a helpful reference for further investigation to workplace health management.
