Abstract

Introduction: This study examined the application of targeted education strategies for nursing students of different MBTI types to enhance students’ theoretical and practical grades. Nursing students have different personalities, therefore learning behaviors are significantly different. It is worth exploring whether teaching methods influence these differences and can be improved through specific education strategies. Methods: Experimental research methods and Questionnaire survey methods were used to test the effect of MBTI with different personality types on the implementation of targeted education strategies. Results: There was a significant correlation between MBTI and teaching effect (p < 0.005). Targeted changes in education strategies could effectively improve teaching effect (p < 0.005), improve teaching quality (p < 0.005), and improve nursing students’ professional identity (p < 0.005). Conclusion: The results showed that targeted changes in education strategies can effectively improve teaching effectiveness, teaching quality, and nursing students’ sense of occupational identity.
