Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality types and clinical practice stress, coping strategies, and resilience among paramedic students who had undergone clinical training. Through this investigation, the study seeks to enhance understanding of the stress experienced by students and to propose more effective educational support strategies for future applications. Methods: Data were collected from paramedic students who had participated in clinical practice at a university in Metropolitan City A between March 20 and April 20, 2025, using a self-administered questionnaire and the MBTI personality type inventory. Results: Resilience was positively correlated with problem-focused coping (r = .514, p < .001) and seeking social support (r = .195, p = .013), and negatively correlated with clinical practice stress (r= -.304, p < .001). The factors influencing resilience were clinical practice stress (β = -.307, p < .001), problem-focused coping (β = .500, p < .001), and the E-I (Extraversion-Introversion) preference indicator of the MBTI personality type (β = -.215, p = .001), with an explanatory power of 38.1%. Conclusion: Factors influencing resilience were identified as clinical practice stress, problem-focused coping, and the E-I (extraversion-introversion) preference indicator of the MBTI personality type. However, as this study was conducted among emergency medical services students in a specific region, the generalizability of the results is limited. Follow-up research is required to develop and apply stress reduction programs to enhance resilience and alleviate clinical practice stress among emergency medical science students with clinical experience, as well as conducting multicenter studies to broaden the regional scope.
