This cross-sectional study was carried out between February and March 2019. Students are stratified according to the class they are in, and sampling by school number is included with the simple random sampling method. While collecting research data, 314 students from stratified classes participated. 314 students from the first (n=111), second (n=84), third (n=61) and fourth (n=58) grades of the Nursing Faculty, who volunteered to participate, were included in the study sample. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) and the Problem Solving Inventory (PSI). Pearson correlation and regression analysis were performed on the continuous variables of this study. Results’ type-I error was accepted as 5%. Mean PSI scores were 132.96±15.52 (min: 90, max: 202). Nursing students obtained the following scores from the Buss–Perry aggression questionnaire subscales: 19.51±5.43 (min: 8, max: 37) for physical aggression, 24.50±5.17 (min: 12, max: 40) for hostility, 20.81±5.03 (min: 9, max: 56) for anger, and 14.46±3.04 (min: 6, max: 25) for verbal aggression. A significant relationship was found between the aggression questionnaire, and the PSI and its various subscales (p=0.000). A statistically significant relationship was found between problem-solving skills and aggressive behavior among nursing students; as problem-solving skills increase, aggressive behavior decreases.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye&#039;nin batısındaki bir hemşirelik fakültesinde okuyan hemşirelik öğrencileri arasında problem çözme düzeylerini ve saldırgan davranışları incelemektir. Bu kesitsel çalışma Şubat ve Mart 2019 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öğrenciler bulundukları sınıfa göre tabakalandı ve basit rastgele örnekleme yönteminde okul numarasına göre seçildi. Hemşirelik Fakültesinde gönüllü olan birinci (n = 111), ikinci (n = 84), üçüncü (n = 61) ve dördüncü (n = 58) sınıflarından 314 öğrenci çalışma örneklemine dahil edilmiştir.Veriler sosyodemografik bir anket, Buss-Perry Saldırganlık Ölçeği (BPAÖ) ve Problem Çözme Envanteri (PÇE) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sürekli değişkenlerinde Pearson korelasyonu ve regresyon analizi yapıldı. Sonuçlar %95 güven aralığında ve %5 anlamlılık düzeyinde değerlendirildi (p = 0.05). Ortalama PÇE skorları 132.96 ± 15.52 (min: 90, maks: 202) idi. Hemşirelik öğrencileri Buss-Perry saldırganlık ölçeğinin alt boyutlarından şu puanları almıştır: 19.51 ± 5.43 (min: 8, maks: 37) fiziksel saldırganlık için, 24.50 ± 5.17 (min: 12, maks: 40) düşmanlık için, 20.81 ± 5.03 min: 9, maks: 56) öfke için ve 14.46 ± 3.04 (min: 6, maks: 25) sözlü saldırganlık için. Saldırganlık ölçeği ile PÇE ve çeşitli alt ölçekleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p&amp;lt;0.001). Hemşirelik öğrencileri arasında problem çözme becerileri ile saldırgan davranış arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur; problem çözme becerileri arttıkça agresif davranış azalmaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
