Studies of the personality of nursing students

: This study evaluates diverse psychological variables in 35 third-year nursing students. Personality is studied according to Eysenck's theories, by means of the E.P.Q. questionnaire; assertive behavior is studied by means of the Gambrill and Richey assertiveness questionnaire; and the hostility set is also measured by means of the Buss-Durkee questionnaire. Likewise, due to the results obtained, the authors point out the necessity to work on the theme of assertiveness in nursing students.
