abstract = {Objective. To examine whether personality traits,
particularly conscientiousness and agreeableness, were
associated with systematic differences in health outcome
preferences in cancer treatment scenarios among second-year
Doctor of Pharmacy students. Methods. An online survey that
quantified outcome preferences using profile best-worst
scaling tasks was administered to pharmacy students (n=185).
The Big Five personality inventory was used to categorize
respondents into tertile-based levels of each trait.
Treatment-related health outcomes were described using the
EQ-5D-Y system and framed with hypothetical cancer treatment
scenarios. Preferences were obtained using count analysis
for each treatment-related outcome, and differences based on
the level of trait were tested using analysis of variance.
Logistic regression was used to test for significant
associations between higher levels of a trait and choosing
dead over a severe health state. Results. Higher
conscientiousness was associated with students who had an
approximately $20\%$ more positive preference for 'no
problems' in the Usual Activities and Pain/Discomfort
attributes, as well as a $19\%$ more negative preference for
'a lot of problems' in the Pain/Discomfort attribute. No
differences in treatment preferences were observed across
agreeableness tertiles. Higher levels of personality traits
were not significantly associated with choosing death over
being in moderate health. Conclusion. Conscientiousness
appears to be a factor in treatment-related outcome
preferences among pharmacy students. Individuals with higher
levels of conscientiousness may be more likely to recommend
treatments that are less likely to cause pain or discomfort
and negatively impact a patient's usual activities.},
