“…Importantly, this decision also ensured that the analysis remained as close as possible to the participants' own words (Harter et al, 2004;Jankowicz, 2004;Leach, Freshwater, Aldridge, & Sunderland, 2001). …”

“…Statistical analysis of ratings and elements ranges from analyses that capture maximum detail in single grids through to those that provide a broader picture of the aggregated data from multiple grids (Leach et al, 2001). Two different quantitative analyses will be undertaken, one looking across all grids and one looking within individual grids.…”

“…As a standardised measure that accounts for the number of constructs in each grid, double-scaled Euclidean distance assesses the similarity between the selected elements. Thus, comparison of specific element pairs across the whole sample can be undertaken (Leach et al, 2001). In other words, regardless of the number of constructs developed and rated by an individual participant in their grid, the distance between a pair of their elements and the distance between the same element pair from other participants can be meaningfully compared.…”

“…Elements, marked by red dots, are plotted within the space as points. Elements plotted closer together are construed as more alike than elements at a distance from each other (Leach et al, 2001). Constructs are plotted as vectors, straight lines intersecting at the junction of the axes.…”

“…Increasing length indicates greater variance in the construct. Typically, very short vectors are not interpreted because they represent less variance (Leach et al, 2001), i.e. the ratings on the construct did not discriminate between the elements.…”

Background: Allied health (AH) workforce shortages in remote and rural Australia contribute to poorer health outcomes for residents in those areas. This gap in health workforce has long been recognised as problematic and persists despite strategies for improving recruitment and retention of AH professionals. This thesis reports on a new approach to addressing the recruitment to, and retention in, remote areas of AH professionals by investigating the personal traits and motivation characteristics of AH professionals with and without remote area work experience. Recent research has shown that the nursing and medical professions can be differentiated by personality traits, but little is known about the personality traits of AH professionals. Therefore, this research aimed to address that knowledge gap.The aim of the study was to identify the personality traits and motivation characteristics that might assist an individual to 'thrive' rather than 'survive' in the remote work environment. It Health achieved a sample size of 562 AH professionals, with full demographic data and a completed TCI. Dependent variables were the TCI dimensions, while independent variables were remote experience, gender, age, profession and grouping of the professions as either person-or technique-oriented. Analysis was descriptive of the whole sample and comparative between groups using independent samples t-test, ANOVA and subsequent two-way ANOVA with 95% confidence level.Strand 2 used Personal Construct Psychology's key technique, the repertory grid interview, to understand how AH professionals construed working in remote areas, in terms of the personal traits and motivation that contribute to success. Participants (n=34) were a purposively selected subset of Strand 1. The repertory grid interviews produced both iii qualitative and quantitative data. These were analysed qualitatively to identify the personal and motivation characteristics, and quantitatively using singular value decomposition and Euclidean distance to compare differences construed by participants between remote and other AH work situations. Results:The following key findings were determined from personality trait results, together with the repertory grid results: The AH professionals appear to have mature personality characteristics, i.e. high or very high levels of Reward Dependence, Persistence, Self-directedness and Cooperativeness. The AH professionals with remote experience had higher Novelty Seeking and average Harm Avoidance levels compared with AH professionals without remote experience. Younger AH professionals tended towards higher Harm Avoidance levels.

Clinical psychology trainees experience training as demanding and stressful, which negatively impacts on their personal and professional self-image and self-esteem. However, they are optimistic that they will become more like their ideal self in the future. Stress in clinical training (and beyond) is normative, and thus, personal development and self-care should be recognized as clinical psychologist's core competencies.
