Abstract

Amaç: Intörn hemşirelik öğrencilerinin psikolojik iyi oluş düzeyleri ile olumsuz çocukluk deneyimleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tasarımda gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın örneklemi, güç analizi kullanılarak 82 öğrenci olarak belirlenmiştir. Tanılanmış herhangi bir ruh sağlığı sorunu olmayan gönüllü intörn hemşirelik öğrencileri araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak, Öğrenci Bilgi Formu, Çocukluk Deneyimleri Ölçeği ve Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri; 20-24 Ocak 2020 tarihlerinde çevrimiçi olarak toplanmış ve 82 öğrencinin katılımıyla sonlandırılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin %63.1’inin kadın cinsiyette, %55.95’inin yurt/apartta yaşadığı ve %67.86’sının ise ailesinin gelirinin-giderine denk olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.96±0.71 yıldır. Çocukluk Deneyimleri Ölçek puan ortalamasının 31,90±10,98 ve Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği puan ortalamasının 44.40±7.01 olduğu bulunmuştur. İki ölçeğin puanları arasında zayıf düzeyde ve negatif yönde istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0.002; r= -0.331).
Sonuç: Intörn hemşirelik öğrencilerinin olumsuz çocukluk deneyimleri puanı arttıkça psikolojik iyi oluş puanlarının azaldığı bulunmuştur.
