Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Yaşadıkları Stres ve İlişkili Faktörler

Amaç: Bu çalışma Türk hemşirelik lisans öğrencilerinin eğitimleri sırasında yaşadıkları stres düzeylerini ve stresi etkileyebilecek bazı sosyodemografik değişkenleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Yöntemler: Araştırma tanımlayıcı kesitsel olarak 821 öğrenci ile yapılmıştır. Veriler, bilgi formu ve Hemşirelik Eğitimi Stres Ölçeği (Stress in Nurse Education Questionnaire-SINE) ile toplanmıştır.Bulgular: SINE’nin alt boyutları olan akademik stres ve uygulama stresi toplam puan ortalamaları birbirine yakın olmasına karşın akademik stres biraz daha yüksek çıkmıştır. Klinik stresle ilgili de acı çeken bir hastayı izlemek en çok stres yaratan durum olarak belirlenmiştir. Klinik uygulamada öğretim elemanı tarafından eleştirilmek ve bakım verirken hata yapma korkusu öğrencilerin en çok raporladığı diğer klinik stres faktörleri arasındadır. Öğrencilerin okudukları okullara, cinsiyete göre ve algılanan akademik başarıya göre SINE toplam ve alt boyutları puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkın anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,001).Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin akademik stresleri arasında en çok sınavlara hazırlanmak, sınavlara girmek ve değerlendirilme endişesi gelmektedir. Klinik stresleri olarak acı çeken bir hastayı izlemek, öğretim elemanı tarafından eleştirilmek ve bakım verirken hata yapma korkusu belirlenmiştir.
