Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 1, 150 - 161, 30.04.2021

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the problem solving skills with peer support of nursing and midwifery students. This descriptive
and cross-sectional study was conducted with a total of 305 students. The data were collected using student information form, Problem
Solving Inventory and Peer Cooperation Scale. Students’ peer support and problem-solving skills are moderate. 1st classes in the nursing
department, 2nd classes in the midwifery department, those who choose the profession because they feel close to themselves in both
departments and those who are satisfied with their department, those who have authoritarian families in the nursing department and,
those who have democratic and extremely relevant families in the midwifery department of students peer support scores are high. Men
and 3rd classes in the nursing department, , 1st and 2nd classes in the midwifery department, those who chose their department for their
family request in both departments and are not satisfied with their department, those who have authoritarian families in the nursing
departmen, those who have irrelevant families in the midwifery department of students problem-solving scores are high. While there was
no significant relationship between the nursing student’s problem solving and peer support total scores, a negative correlation was found
between the midwifery students’ problem solving and peer support total scores. It was determined that the peer support and problem
solving skills of the students were at a moderate level, the problem solving skills of the nursing students and the peer support of the
midwifery students were higher. It was determined that the department, class, satisfaction with the department, reason for department
preference and the family structure affected the peer support and problem solving skills.

Hemşirelik ve Ebelik Öğrencilerinin Akran Destekleri ve Problem Çözme Becerileri

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 1, 150 - 161, 30.04.2021

Abstract

Çalışma, hemşirelik ve ebelik öğrencilerinin akran desteği ile problem çözme becerilerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve
kesitsel türdeki bu çalışma toplam 305 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler öğrenci bilgi formu, Akran Destek Ölçeği ve Problem Çözme
Envanteri kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin akran desteği ve problem çözme becerileri orta düzeydedir. Hemşirelik bölümünde 1. sınıf,
ebelik bölümünde 2. sınıfların, her iki bölümde mesleği kendine yakın hissettiği için tercih edenlerin ve bölümünden memnun olanların,
hemşirelik bölümünde otoriter, ebelik bölümünde ise demokratik ve aşırı ilgili aileye sahip olanların akran desteği puanları yüksektir.
Hemşirelik bölümünde erkeklerin, 3. sınıfların, ebelik bölümünde ise 1. ve 2. sınıfların, her iki bölümde ailesi isteği için bölümünü seçen ve
bölümünden memnun olmayanların, hemşirelik bölümünde otoriter, ebelik bölümünde ise ilgisiz aileye sahip öğrencilerin problem çözme
puanları yüksektir. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin problem çözme ile akran desteği toplam puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmazken,
ebelik öğrencilerinin problem çözme ile akran desteği toplam puanları arasında negatif korelasyon bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin akran
desteği ve problem çözme becerilerinin orta düzeyde olduğu, hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinin problem çözme becerilerinin, ebelik
öğrencilerinin ise akran desteklerinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bölüm, öğrenim görülen sınıf, bölümden memnuniyet, bölüm
tercih sebebi ve aile yapısının akran desteği ve problem çözme becerisini etkilediği saptanmıştır
