The data was analysed with descriptive, Pearson Correlation and Linear Simple tests in SPSS. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the BECK Hopelessness Scale and the Child Youth Resilience Scale in nursing assistant students. There was also a significant negative correlation between BECK Hopelessness Scale and the Belonging Scale. There was a positive correlation between the Child-Youth Psychological Resilience Scale and Belonging Scale. Besides, belonging and psychological resilience explained 14.0% of the total variance in hopelessness (R: 0.385, R2: 0.148). When the standardized (β) coefficient and t value were examined; it was increased negatively.

Abstract

Araştırma; sağlık meslek lisesinde okuyan hemşire yardımcılarının gelecek kaygısı, aidiyet ve psikolojik sağlamlık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, İstanbul’da bir Meslek ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi’nde okuyan 282 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın verileri, Aralık-2019 Ocak-2020 tarihleri arasında, Çocuk Bilgi Formu, BECK Umutsuzluk Ölçeği, Çocuk ve Genç Dayanıklılık Ölçeği, Ait Olma Ölçeği kullanıldı. Veriler; tanımlayıcı, Pearson Korelasyon ve Linear Regresyon testleri ile SPSS programında analiz edildi. Sağlık meslek lisesi öğrencilerinin BECK Umutsuzluk Ölçeği ile Çocuklar ve Ergenlerde Psikolojik Sağlamlık puanları arasında negatif yönde ileri derece anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. BECK Umutsuzluk Ölçeği ile Ait olma Ölçeği arasında da negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Çocuklar ve Ergenlerde Psikolojik Sağlamlık ve Ait Olma arasında pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Araştırmanın diğer sonuçlarından biri ise ait olmanın ve psikolojik sağlamlığın umutsuzluk üzerindeki toplam varyansın %14.0’ünü açıklamaktadır (R:0,385, R2: 0,148). Standardize edilmiş (β) katsayısı ve t değerini incelendiğinde; negatif yönde artışın olduğu görülmektedir.
