Abstract

|
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate attitudes toward death according to personality types and to suggest the need to develop related hospice programs.
Methods: Personality types were identified by the Korean version of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Form G. A questionnaire with 26 five-point Likert items was used to survey participants’ attitudes toward death.
Results: The ESFP personality type was most common (20%) among available 100 participants. Significant differences were observed in the attitudes towards death preparation according to personality type s. Participants with personality preference types E, T and J showed positive attitudes (P＜0.05) toward death, but no significant differences were shown based on the SN index.
Conclusion: The attitudes toward death differed by personality types. Therefore, this study points to the need to develop diverse hospice programs based on the personality types.
