Özet:

 Health technician profession is very important in the delivery of health services in our country. However, after obtaining the title of health technician, individuals may experience certain physical and psychological difficulties, which can lead to a tendency to leave the profession. On the other hand, there are not many studies examining the relationships between psychological resilience and career choice. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of personality traits and psychological resilience on the career choices of future health technicians. A total of 465 prospective health technicians participated in the study, enrolled in the health services vocational school of a state university in Ankara. Ten-Item Personality Scale, Short Psychological Resilience Scale and Occupational Choice in Health Technician Scale were used to collect data. Simple linear regression analysis was applied to reveal the factors affecting the selection of the health technician profession. When analyzing the findings related to the personality scale, it has been determined that health technician students are individuals with lower levels of stress and anxiety. Their psychological resilience, representing the tendency to cope with psychological issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression, was found to be low. On the other hand, students perceive the health technician profession as suitable for their interests and abilities. When examining the relationships between the personality traits, psychological resilience, and career selection tendencies of health technician students, it was found that the personality dimensions of extraversion and agreeableness had a positive significant effect on career choice, while psychological resilience had a negative significant effect on career choice. It has been determined that individuals who are extrovert and adaptable, but with low psychological resilience prefer the profession of health technician.

 Sağlık teknikerliği, ülkemizdeki sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumunda oldukça önemlidir. Ancak sağlık teknikerleri bu unvana sahip olduktan sonra bazı fiziksel ve psikolojik sıkıntılar yaşayabilmekte ve bu da mesleği bırakma eğilimini artırmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, psikolojik sağlamlık ve meslek seçimi arasındaki ilişkileri inceleyen fazla çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, geleceğin sağlık teknikerlerinin meslek seçimlerinde, kişiliklerinin ve psikolojik sağlamlıklarının etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmaya, Ankaradaki bir devlet üniversitesinin sağlık hizmetleri meslek yüksekokulunda öğrenim gören 465 sağlık teknikeri adayı katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında On-Maddeli Kişilik Ölçeği, Kısa Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği ve Sağlık Teknikerliğinde Meslek Seçimi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Sağlık teknikerliği mesleğinin seçiminde etkili olan faktörleri ortaya çıkarmak için basit doğrusal regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Kişilik ölçeğine ilişkin analiz bulgularına bakıldığında, sağlık teknikerliği öğrencilerinin daha az stresli ve daha az kaygılı bireyler oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Stres, kaygı, depresyon gibi psikolojik sorunlarla başa çıkabilme eğilimini temsil eden psikolojik sağlamlıklarının ise düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Diğer taraftan öğrenciler sağlık teknikerliği mesleğini, ilgi alanlarına ve yeteneklerine uygun bulmaktadırlar. Sağlık teknikerliği öğrencilerinin kişilik özellikleri, psikolojik sağlamlıkları ve mesleği seçme eğilimleri arasındaki ilişkilere bakıldığında ise kişilik alt boyutlarından dışadönüklük ve uyumluluk boyutlarının, meslek seçiminde pozitif anlamlı etkiye sahip olduğu, diğer taraftan psikolojik sağlamlığın, meslek seçiminde negatif anlamlı etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dışadönük, uyumlu, fakat düşük psikolojik sağlamlığa sahip bireylerin sağlık teknikerliği mesleğini tercih ettikleri belirlenmiştir.
