Abstract: Objective: To examine the effects of scenario simulation training based on DISC personality in nurses who are flexible in the blood drawing group of an outpatient department. Methods: From April 2019 to February 2020, nurses who met the inclusion criteria were recruited and randomized into the interventional group and the control group with 40 nurses in each group. Nurses in the interventional group received scenario simulation training based on DISC personality, while those in the control group received usual training. The scores of theory and skill examinations, perceived professional benefits, and job satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: The scores of theory and skill examinations, perceived professional benefits, and job satisfaction of nurses in the interventional group were significantly higher than those of nurses in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The scenario simulation training based on DISC personality can improve the comprehensive skills, perceived professional benefits and job satisfaction of nurses who are flexible in the blood drawing group of an outpatient department.
