Levels of Self Awareness and Self Evaluation in Nursing and Midwifery Students and Its Relationship With Academic success

Çalışmanın amacı, dört yıl boyunca ebelik ve hemşirelik öğrencilerinin benlik bilinci, kendini değerlendirme ve akademik başarıları arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını incelemektir. Çalışmada “Benlik Bilinci Ölçeği” ve “Kendini Değerlendirme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya Ankara Üniversitesi Cebeci Sağlık Yüksekokulu’nda öğrenim gören 32 hemşirelik ve 36 ebelik öğrencisi alınmıştır. Ölçekler dört yıl boyunca sekiz kez uygulanmıştır. Dört yıl boyunca her iki ölçekte puanların arttığı gözlenmiştir. Üçüncü ve dördüncü yıl, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin Benlik Bilinci Ölçeği puanları ve akademik başarıları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Ancak ebelik öğrencilerinde anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır. Ebelik öğrencilerinin ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıflarında kendini değerlendirme ve akademik başarı arasında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Genel olarak ebelik bölümü öğrencilerinin giriş puanlarının, hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerine göre düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuca bakarak, ebelik öğrencilerinin hemşirelik öğrencilerine göre mesleki ilgilerinin daha az olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, yükseköğretimin öğrencilerin benlik bilincini olumlu yönde etkilediği söylenebilir.

Hemşirelik ve Ebelik Bölümü Öğrencilerinin Benlik Bilinci ve Kendini Değerlendirme Düzeylerinin Akademik Başarı ile İlişkisi

The aim of this study is to determine whether or not there is a relationship between levels of self awareness, self evaluation and academic achievment in nursing and midwife students over the four years of thier training. The Self Awareness Scale (SAS) and Self Evaluation Scale (SAS) were used for the study. The sample consisted of nursing (n=32) and midwifery (n=36) students at Ankara University Cebeci School of Health. In this cohort study, the scales were applied eight times over four years. An increase in scores was observed on both scales over the four years. A significant relationship was found between academic success and the SAS scores of third and fourth year nursing students. However, no such relationship was found in the case of midwifery students. A significant relationship was found for these students between academic succes and the SES scores in the second, third and fourth classes. In general, midwifery students enter university with lower entrance scores than nursing students. It is thus possible that their professional misgivings are greater than those of nursing students. As a result, it is possible to say that the self awareness of higher education students is affected positively.
