Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between solution-focused thinking and depression, anxiety, and stress among nurses. A total of 163 nurses working in a hospital in the southeastern region of Turkey participated in the study. Data were collected between November and December 2023 using three instruments: a participant information form, the Solution-Focused Thinking Scale, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. The results of the study revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between solution-focused thinking and depression, anxiety, and stress. These findings suggest that solution-focused thinking can play an important role in reducing psychological problems among nurses.

Çözüm Odaklı Düşüncenin Hemşirelerin Ruhsal Durumuna Etkisi

Abstract

Araştırmada hemşirelerde çözüm odaklı düşünme ile depresyon, kaygı ve stres arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Araştırmaya Türkiye'nin güneydoğusundaki bir hastanede çalışan 163 hemşire katılmıştır. Veri toplama işlemi Kasım ve Aralık 2023 arasında üç araç kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi: Katılımcı bilgi formu, Çözüm Odaklı Düşünme Ölçeği ve Depresyon, Kaygı ve Stres Ölçeği. Araştırma sonucunda çözüm odaklı düşünme ile depresyon, kaygı ve stres arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir negatif korelasyon olduğunu ortaya çıkardı. Bulgular, çözüm odaklı düşünmenin hemşireler arasındaki psikolojik sorunların azaltılmasında önemli bir rol oynayabileceğini göstermektedir.
