Hemşirelik Son Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Klinik Uygulama Sırasındaki Covid-19 Korkusu ve Etik Duyarlılıklarının İncelenmesi

Bu araştırmanın amacı hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin klinik uygulama sırasındaki Covid-19 korkusu ile etik duyarlılıklarının incelenmesidir. Bu çalışma, kesitsel ve ilişkisel bir araştırmadır. Araştırma Türkiye’nin İç Anadolu bölgesinde bulunan bir üniversitenin hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencileri (n=95) ile Haziran 2021 tarihinde yapılmıştır. Veriler; Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Özellikleri Formu, Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi (ADA) kullanılarak Google Formlar aracılığıyla çevrim içi olarak toplanmıştır. Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği toplam skorları ortalaması 17.93 (Sd=5.02), Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi toplam skorları ortancası 96 (%25-75=87-108) olarak belirlenmiştir. Daha önce Covid-19 geçiren öğrencilerin Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği puanlarının anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (t=3.209, p=0.004). Öğrencilerin özellikleri ile Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi total veya alt boyut puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamaktaydı (p>0.05). Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği toplam puanı ile Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi bütüncül yaklaşım alt boyutu arasında pozitif anlamlı olarak ilişkiliydi (r=0.298, p=0.003). Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin Covid-19 korkusu ve etik duyarlılıklarının orta düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir. Geçirilmiş Covid-19 enfeksiyonu daha fazla korku ile ilişkilendirilmiştir.

INVESTIGATION OF COVID-19 FEAR AND ETHICAL SENSITIVITY AMONG SENIOR NURSING STUDENTS DURING CLINICAL PRACTICE

The aim of this study is to investigate senior nursing students’ ethical sensitivity and fear of Covid-19 during clinical practice. This is a cross-sectional and relational study. The study has been conducted in June 2021 with senior nursing students at a university in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey (n=95). Data have been collected online via Google Forms by using a Nursing Student Characteristics Form, the Fear of Covid-19 Scale (FCV-19S), and the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ). The mean FCV-19S total score has been obtained as 17.93 (Sd=5.02) and median MSQ total score has been obtained as 96 (25th–75th percentiles=87–108). Students with previous Covid-19 infection had significantly higher FCV-19S scores (t=3.209, p=0.004). There were no significant differences in MSQ total or subscale scores based on the students’ characteristics (p>0.05). FCV-19S total score was positively correlated with the holistic approach subscale of the MSQ (r=0.298, p=0.003). The results of this study have shown that senior nursing students had moderate levels of ethical sensitivity and Covid-19 fear. Previous Covid-19 infection has been associated with greater fear.
