Personality Traits and Subjective Well-being of Fathers of Preterm and Full-term Infants: A Case Study of a Medical Center in Taiwan. Nur Primary Care. 2021; 5(3): 1-8. ABSTRACT Background: This study aimed to elucidate whether the demographics and personality traits of fathers, who are considered to be responsible for their families’ well-being, influence the fathers’ subjective well-being. Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the personality traits and well-being of fathers of preterm and term infants; and related factors. Design: Descriptive sampling was used in a cross-sectional study. Methods: The “Personality Inventory Scale” and “Subjective Well-Being Scale” were administered, which had respective internal consistencies of 0.83 and 0.95. Results: (1) The two groups reported moderate subjective well-being; (2) there was no significant difference in the overall personality traits between the two groups; (3) In both groups, the fathers’ subjective well-being increased with age; (4) In both groups, the core subjective well-being of fathers was higher than that of the noncore family, and their subjective well-being was not significantly affected by the number of children or by family socioeconomic status. In short, in both groups, the fathers’ subjective well-being was influenced by their personality, age, and family structure. Practice implications: Examining issues related to the personality traits of fathers of preterm infants is useful not only in the formulation of care and medical systems, solutions, and strategies for preterm infants but also in understanding family relationships to enhance subjective well-being. The present findings serve as a reference for the development of family-centered, whole-person health care.

In particular, rank-order stability of the Big Five personality traits and found fathers involved in caring for their preterm infants experience that neuroticism and extraversion were more stable in men than in tremendous physical and mental stress, greatly influencing their women [15].

Therefore, meaning in life. Aristotle also stated, “The pursuit of eudaimonia the present study assumes that accurate measurement of subjective is the ultimate goal and meaning in life. Subjective well-being is well-being is crucial. In terms of family development, individuals’ a broad classification that encompasses individuals’ emotional perspectives are affected by their personality traits. thus, thinking responses, their perceived satisfaction with important events, and modes are closely associated with personality traits [8,9]. The their overall life satisfaction.
