Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of care prescription on the nursing image.
Methods: Eighty volunteer patients treated in the cardiology clinic of a hospital were included in this quasi-experimental study. Data were collected using the Patient Characteristics Information Form, Patient Evaluation Form, Nursing Image Scale, and Care Prescription. The researcher nurse gave her suggestions for the care she determined as a written prescription to the patients in the
experimental group.
Results: Nursing Image Scale pre-test score average of the patients in the experimental group was determined as 62.65 ± 6.30 and post-test score average was 72.80 ± 2.69. The difference
between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the experimental group was found to be statistically significant (p < .05). There was no statistically significant difference between the Nursing
Image Scale pre-test and post-test mean scores of the patients in the control group.
Conclusion: In this study, it has been concluded that the care prescription given by the nurse to the patients positively affects the perceived nursing image of the patients.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bakım reçetesinin hemşirelik imajı üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir.
Yöntemler: Yarı deneysel olarak yapılan çalışmaya bir hastanenin kardiyoloji kliniğinde tedavi gören 80 gönüllü hasta dahil edilmiştir. Veriler Hasta Özellikleri Bilgi Formu, Hasta Değerlendirme Formu, Hemşirelik İmaj Ölçeği ve Bakım Reçetesi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmacı hemşire, bakıma yönelik belirlediği önerilerini deney grubundaki hastalara yazılı reçete olarak vermiştir.
Bulgular: Deney grubundaki hastaların Hemşirelik İmajı Ölçeği ön test puan ortalaması 62,65 ± 6,30, son test puan ortalaması 72,80 ± 2,69 olarak belirlenmiştir. Deney grubunun ön test ve son
test puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p < ,05). Kontrol grubundaki hastaların Hemşirelik İmajı Ölçeği ön test ve son test puan ortalamaları arasında ise
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır (p > ,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmada hemşirenin hastalara verdiği bakım reçetesinin hastaların algıladıkları hemşirelik imajını olumlu yönde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
