Die persoonlikheidsprofiel vir die suksesvolle fisioterapiestudent as 'n keuringshulpmiddel aan die Universiteit van Pretoria

Abstract

Afrikaans: Die hoofdoelstelling van die ondersoek was om die persoonlikheidsprofiel van die suksesvolle fisioterapeut te bepaal. Om te voldoen aan die hoofdoelstelling was die volgende subdoelwitte vir die studie gestel: i) Die bepaling van die kenmerkende 16-Persoonlikheidsfaktorvraelys (16-PF) profiel van die meer suksesvolle student in Fisioterapie aan die hand van akademiese prestasie. (ii) Tot hoe 'n mate die 16-PF-profiel tussen meer suksesvolle en minder suksesvolle fisioterapiestudente onderskei aan die hand van hulle akademiese pretasie. iii) Om van paneelbeoordelings gebruik te maak om die profiel van die suksesvolle fisioterapeut te bepaal volgens fisioterapeute in die praktyk. 'n Literatuurstudie is onderneem wat aspekte soos keuring van fisioterapiestudente, die 16- Persoonlikheidsfaktorvraelys (16-PF), Fisioterapie as beroep, Fisioterapie in die bedryf en beroepsukses gedek het. 'n Empiriese ondersoek is onderneem om bogenoemde hoofdoelstelling en subdoelwitte te bereik. Die akademiese prestasie van die betrokke studente se akademiese rekord is verkry, asook die 16-PF-vraelyste wat deur die onderskeie jaargroepe Gaar een tot vier) en die nie-gekeurde studente ingevul is. Vraelyste is aan fisioterapeute in die praktyk uitgedeel waar laasgenoemde die persoonlikheidsprofiel van die suksesvolle fisioterapiestudent bepaal het aan die hand van die 16-PF-dimensies. Aan die hand van die ondersoek is onder andere tot die volgende gevolgtrekkings gekom: Faktor + A en Faktor + I is kenmerkende faktore van die akademies meer suksesvo Ile fisioterapiestudent. Die meer warmhartige student en empatiese student is meer geneig om akademies suksesvol te wees as die terughoudende en gereserveerde student (Faktor A). Die emosioneel gevoelige student is meer geneig om akademies suksesvol te wees as die geharde student (Faktor I). Die profiel van die suksesvolle fisioterapiestudent verskil van die profiel van die nie-suksesvolle fisioterapiestudent. Die profiel van die suksesvolle fisioterapiestudent kan dus effektief in die keuringsproses gebruik word. Dit blyk dat daar tot 'n mate eenstemmigheid is tussen die profiel van die suksesvolle fisioterapiestudent en die profiel soos aangedui deur fisioterapeute in die praktyk.

English: The main objective of the study was to determine the personality profile of the successful physiotherapy student at the University of Pretoria. To meet the requirements of the main objective the following goals were stated: i) The determination of the characteristic 16-Personality Factor questionnaire (16- PF) profile of the more successful physiotherapy student according to academic achievement. ii) To what extent the 16-PF profile distinguishes between more and less successful physiotherapy students according to their academic achievement. iii) To use panel assessments to determine the profile of the successful physiotherapist according to physiotherapists in practice. A literature study was undertaken to include aspects such as the selection of physiotherapy students, the 16-Personality Factor questionnaire (16-PF), physiotherapy as career, physiotherapy in practice and career success. An emperical study was undertaken to achieve the above-mentioned objectives and goals. The academic achievements of the students concerned were obtained, as well as the 16-PF questionnaire completed by all physiotherapy students (first to fourth years) and the nonselected students. Questionnaires were handed to physiotherapists in practice to determine the personality profile of the successful physiotherapy student according to the 16-PF dimensions. The conclusions of the emperical study were: Factor + A and Factor + I are characteristic factors of the academically more successful physiotherapy student. The warmhearted and empathetic student tends to be more academically successful than the withdrawn and reserved student (Factor A). The sensitive student tends to be more academically successful than the toughminded student (Factor I). The profile of the successful physiotherapy student differs from the profile of the unsuccessful physiotherapy student. The profile of the successful physiotherapy student can therefore be utilized effectively in the selection process. It seems as if there is a degree of correlation between the profile of the successful physiotherapy student and the profile as determined by physiotherapists in practice.
