O trabalho de enfermagem oferece constantes perigos para o enfermeiro ao expô-lo às diversas cargas de trabalho que são geradoras de acidentes e doenças, com graves consequências pessoais, institucionais e sociais. O enfermeiro exerce suas atividades em um contexto que por suas próprias características é insalubre e possui muitos estressores, dada a forma de organização adotada, com trabalho em turnos, duplo emprego, carência de informações sobre seus riscos, falta de recursos e instalações inadequadas. Essas condições possibilitam os acidentes de trabalho e a contaminação por doenças e, em seu extremo, causam a morte do enfermeiro, subentendida pela gravidade da exposição no trabalho. Nesse sentido, esse estudo tem como objetivo identificar as melhores evidências sobre as causas de morte do enfermeiro, relacionadas às suas condições de trabalho e que permitam evidenciar o seu perfil de mortalidade. O estudo é de revisão sistemática, segundo o modelo do Instituto Joanna Briggs. Pauta-se na seguinte questão norteadora: Qual é a melhor evidência sobre as causas de morte dos enfermeiros, relacionadas ao trabalho? A população foi de estudos realizados com enfermeiros e escritos em português, inglês e espanhol; pesquisados até julho de 2011. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados preconizadas pelo Instituto Joanna Briggs por meio dos seguintes descritores: mortalidade ocupacional; morbidade, câncer ocupacional, envelhecimento; suicídio; depressão; grupo de risco; riscos ocupacionais; compostos químicos; anormalidades induzidas por radiação; trabalho em turnos; morte súbita; tabaco; usuários de drogas; estresse fisiológico; trabalhadores; condições de trabalho; enfermagem do trabalho; esgotamento profissional; serviços de saúde do trabalhador; infecção; enfermeira, enfermeiro; enfermagem; profissionais da saúde; morte; pessoal de saúde. De acordo com a estratégia, foram selecionados oito artigos e sua análise permitiu identificar que as causas de mortalidade estão relacionadas aos diferentes tipos de cânceres e suicídios entre os enfermeiros e, ainda, avaliar as evidências apresentadas segundo o Instituto Joanna Briggs. Os resultados assinalam que a mortalidade dos enfermeiros relaciona-se, principalmente, à exposição às cargas químicas e psíquicas na vida profissional. Demonstram, ainda, a necessidade de novas pesquisas, dado o pequeno número de publicações existentes que abordam os prejuízos causados à saúde do enfermeiro nas funções exercidas no cotidiano de sua prática profissional / The nursing work offers constant dangers for nurses due to exposure to many workloads that generate accidents and diseases with serious personal consequences, institutional and social. The nurse carries out its activities in a context that by own characteristics has many unhealthy stressors, due form of organization adopted, with shift work, double job, lack of information about its risks, lack of resources and inadequate facilities. These conditions make it possible workplace accidents and contamination by disease and, in extreme cases, cause the death of the nurse by the severity of the exposure at work. Thus, this study aims identify the best evidence on the causes of death of the nurse related to their working conditions, and to evidence their profile of mortality. The study is a systematic review by model of the Joanna Briggs Institute. It is guided by the following question: \"What is the best evidence on the causes of death among nurses, work-related?\" The chosen population was studies about nurses, written in Portuguese, English and Spanish, searched by July 2011. The searches were conducted in the databases recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute and identified the following key words: occupational mortality, morbidity, occupational cancer, aging, suicide, depression, risk group; occupational hazards, chemicals, radiation-induced abnormalities, shift work, sudden death, tobacco, drug users, physiological stress, workers, working conditions, occupational nursing, burnout, health care worker infection; nurse, nursing, occupational health, death, health personnel. According to the strategy, we selected eight articles and their analysis allowed identify that the causes of death are related to different types of cancers and suicide among nurses and also assess the evidence presented according to the Joanna Briggs Institute. The results show that the mortality of nurses is related mainly to exposure to chemical and psych workloads in professional life. Demonstrate the need for further research, given the small number of existing publications that approach the damage caused to the health of nurses in the roles played in the daily professional practice

The artist discusses the background, ideas, and work entitled Archetypes in Clay, for the completion of her Bachelor of Arts Degree and undergraduate research for the Fine and Performing Arts Scholar program at East Tennessee State University. The artist used this development of work to explore personality types, and how they can be portrayed through clay vessels. In particular, the artist shows her work, how she created the vessels, the testing involved, and the struggles she faced. Archetypes is the focus behind the concept of this project. Her work includes four ceramic vessels, created with clay and finished with glaze. The artist cites Carl Jung, Isabel Briggs-Myers, and NERIS Analytics Limited as important research in this project.

This writer reviews some of the most influential factors found in studies of adult childparent relationships, including divorce, surrogate parents, coresidency, caregiving, proximity, family size, and gender. Focusing on the "feminine tilt" in family relationships, research reveals explanations such as caregiving, kinkeeping, and gender identity issues. The author proposes the possibility that the female bias in parent-child relationships has more to do with subjective thought process than biological sex. An analysis was conducted on mailed-in-surveys for 264 Kentucky adults, ages 30 to 49, who completed questions pertaining to their communication and closeness with their parents, and one fourth of the Keirsey Temperament Sorter regarding decision making preferences. The study found Feelers communicate significantly more with, and feel significantly closer to, parents than do Thinkers. Feeling daughters have more communication and greater closeness with parents than Thinking daughters. Feeling sons report more closeness with mothers than Thinking sons, and more communication and greater closeness to fathers than Thinking daughters. Daughters report more communication and closeness with mothers than sons. Suggestions for future research include using a much larger sample of strong temperament typed respondents.

An individual’s personality traits and characteristics have been found to have an important relationship with health behaviors. However, there has been minimal research conducted with personality types. The purpose of the study was to examine the predictive relationship among MBTI® personality preferences and types and both selected health-promoting and selected risk-taking behaviors among residential college students. Furthermore, several potential mediating demographic variables were added to the study to determine their predictive relationship and if they should be entered into a model for the selected health behaviors. The study used a cross-sectional design with two self-report instruments and demographic questionnaire. The two self-report instruments were the MBTI® and the HPLP II. A systematic random sample was employed to obtain the sample of full-time residential college students. A total of 406 subjects voluntarily completed the instruments. The subjects ranged in age from 18 to 28 with 98.3% reporting traditional college age. Descriptive and inferential statistics with an alpha level of .05 were used for data analysis. The results revealed that models incorporating MBTI® personality preferences and types had a significant predictive relationship with nutrition, interpersonal relations, spiritual growth, physical activity, aggregate health-promoting lifestyle, alcohol use, binge drinking, and heavy drinking. However, the variance explained by the models for each behavior was consistently low with the one exception of interpersonal relations. Health-responsibility, stress management, and cigarette smoking could not be predicted by models integrating MBTI® personality preferences and types. Nonetheless, specific personality preferences and types did have a significant relationship with health-responsibility, stress management, and cigarette smoking. In conclusion, MBTI® personality preferences and types provided valuable insight into explaining several of the selected health behaviors. The results revealed personality preferences and type can be useful in health research. Given the popularity of the MBTI®, future research incorporating the MBTI® and various health behaviors may offer valuable information used by health professionals and counselors to modify health behaviors.

This study investigated personality differences among students who seek personal, career, and academic counseling and students who do not seek counseling. Students in the 1983 freshman class (N = 3,245) at Ball State University were administered various tests including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Counseling center files were examined to determine the number of students who subsequently sought counseling (n = 494) and which services they sought. Virtually no previous research existed using these variables. Therefore the study was considered exploratory in nature.In the statistical analyses, descriptive statistics were used to examine counseling groups. Loglinear analysis model fitting was performed on the four MBTI scales for the counseling seeker groups and the nonseekers.Results of the descriptive statistics showed that, in addition to the three counseling service groups, a fourth group emerged. Nearly one-fourth of the seekers did not return for services after intake (the "no services" group). Women represented about two-thirds of the total counseling seekers and of each counseling group. There was a significant relationship between year in school and counseling service sought. In the freshman and sophomore years, students sought more career and academic counseling. By the junior and senior years, students sought more personal counseling.Results of the loglinear analyses showed that the best-fitting model for the counseling groups contained the MBTI scales of sensing-intuiting (S-N) and judging-perceiving (J-P). The model further discriminated between the personal and academic counseling seekers and the nonseeking group. The personal counseling group was intuiting and perceiving (NP) and the academic group was sensing and judging (SJ). No differences were found for the no services and the career groups.The results of this study indicate there are definite personality differences among counseling seekers and nonseekers. By personality type, academic counseling seekers prefer the practical and concrete. Personal counseling seekers prefer the theoretical and abstract. Career counseling seekers and the no services group appear more like the general student population on the MBTI. Suggestions for counseling interventions and future research were given. / Department of Educational Psychology

This study is an investigation of the personality characteristics of the Most and least effective teachers in three church-related universities in a central West Texas city. A student evaluation of instruction form was utilized to allow students in the three universities to rate teacher effectiveness in the classroom. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Isabel Briggs-Myers, The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, 4th ed., Princeton, Educational Testing Service, 1973) was administered to those teachers who were rated both as most effective and least effective by 5,153 students. The use of this instrument, which provides a personality profile that is indicative of dominant personality characteristics (extrovert-introvert; sensing-intuitive; thinking-feeling, judging-perceptive), allows for measurement (by upper and lower quartile scores) of the differences between the personality characteristics of the most and least effective teachers in this sample.
