Of the 750 students, 601 (80.1%) responded from the first to the sixth year (37.2% female). In the analysis, six responses were excluded due to the presence of missing values. Additionally, four students who did not identified their gender specifically were also omitted from the analysis, ensuring a more coherent and accurate evaluation. The breakdown of the respndents is presented in Table 1.

Five factors were calculated from the second section of the questionnaire: extraversion (E), openness to experience (O), agreeableness (A), conscientiousness (C), and neuroticism (N). The total Cronbach’s alpha value for the second part of the questionnaire was 0.84, indicating a good level of internal consistency. Cronbach’s alpha values for the five factors were as follows: (E), 0.81 (O), 0.78 (A), 0.83 (C), and 0.82 (N), respectively. The correlations among FFM values are illustrated in Table 2.

Regarding sociodemographic questions, a significant difference was found in admission methods between the genders (Fisher’s exact test, p =0.002). There were no differences in four of the five factors of the FFI questionnaire when comparing the group based on their gender with Welch’s t-test: extroversion (p =0.63), agreeableness (p = 0.56), conscientiousness (p = 0.87), and neuroticism (p = 0.46). A significant difference was found in openness to experience (p < 0.001). The mean level of openness to experience (O) was 18.29 (SD=4.54) for women and 16.93 (SD=4.72) for women.
Next, the responses to the “willingness to engage in community health care” question were divided into three groups: “I will,” “I will not,” and “I do not know.” The results are presented in Table 3.
[Table 3 should appear near here]
When comparing the two groups that indicated positive and negative willingness (i.e. “I will” and “I will not”), there was a significant difference in the willingness to engage in community health care (Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.016) between the genders. There was a significant difference in the willingness to engage in community health care (Fisher’s exact test, P<0.001) between the admission methods (Quota).
By comparing the There were no differences in three of the five factors of the FFM questionnaire when comparing the groups based on their willingness to engage in community healthcare: openness to experience (Kruskal-Wallis Test, p =0.64), conscientiousness (Kruskal-Wallis Test, p =0.25), and neuroticism (Kruskal-Wallis Test, p =0.29). Significant differences were found for extraversion (Kruskal-Wallis Test, p =0.002) and agreeableness (Kruskal-Wallis Test, p =0.010).
Logistic Regression Analysis on Admission method(s)
The multivariate logistic regression analyses for the admission method are illustrated in Tables 4–9.

Tables 4–5 illustrate the analysis of the RQPWL (N=514) with the GAP as a control. The p-values of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were 0.626 (Table 4) and 0.396 (Table 5), respectively, indicating a good fit. Regarding personality (Table 4), extraversion (E), openness to experience (O), grade, and gender were significant. In relation to the question items (Table 5), Q14 and Q18 were significant.

Tables 6–7 illustrate the analysis of RQP(N=552) in contrast to GAP. The p-values of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were 0.645 (Table 6) and 0.891 (Table 7), respectively, indicating a good fit. Extraversion (E), conscientiousness (C), and gender were significantly associated with personality (Table 6). Regarding the questionnaire items (Table 7), Q6 was significant.

Logistic Regression Analysis on Willingness to Engage in Community Health Care
The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis of the FFM factors are illustrated in Table 8. The p-value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was 0.230, indicating a good fit.
There was a strong association between willingness to engage in community health care for students enrolled in the RQP (OR 31.85, 95% CI 11.31–133.51) and those enrolled in the RQPWL (OR 15.19, 95% CI 4.16–98.46].
Regarding personality, there was A; OR significant association between willingness to engage in community healthcare for openness to experience (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.00–1.12) and agreeableness A; (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02–1.14). There was also a significant but negative association with extraversion ( OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84–0.97). However, neither grade nor gender was associated with willingness to engage in community healthcare.

The results of the multivariate logistic regression for each question in the second part are illustrated in Table 9. The p-value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was 0.593, indicating a good fit. There was also a strong association between willingness to engage in community health care for students enrolled in the RQP (OR 35.97, 95% CI 12.44–130.81) and those enrolled in the RQPWL (OR 20.06, 95% CI 5.51–150.81).
Concerning each item, there was a significant association between willingness to engage in community healthcare for Q18 and Q21.
