Abstract

Pozitif psikoterapinin yaşam denge modeline göre insan yaşamının dört boyutu bulunmaktadır: beden, başarı, ilişkiler ve maneviyat. Bu boyutlar denge içinde olduğunda, insanlar sağlıklı ve üretkendir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 pandemisinin hemşirelik öğrencilerinin anksiyete düzeyleri ve yaşam dengesi üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, Türkiye'de 3 farklı üniversitede öğrenim gören 584 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılar, pandemi öncesi ve sırasında yaşam dengesi modelinin başarı, beden, ilişkiler ve maneviyat boyutlarında anlamlı değişiklikler yaşamışlardır. Bu boyutlardaki değişikliklerle birlikte katılımcıların anksiyeteleri artmıştır. Bu sonuçlara dayanarak öğrencilerin ihmal ettiği yaşam boyutlarındaki ihtiyaçların karşılanması için öğrencilere destek olunması yararlı olacaktır. Ayrıca hemşirelikte ilk kez kullanılan yaşam dengesi modelinin hemşirelik uygulamalarında bir araç olarak geliştirilebileceği düşünülmektedir.

A Holistic Approach to Nursing Students’ Changing Life and Anxiety in the Pandemic: A Descriptive Cross Sectional Study Utilizing Positive Psychotherapy

Abstract

The life balance model of positive psychotherapy states that human lives have four dimensions: body, achievement, relationships, and spirituality. When these dimensions are in balance, people are healthy and productive. This study aimed to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing students’ anxiety levels and life balance. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 584 nursing students studying at 3 different universities in Turkey. The participants experienced significant changes in the life balance model’s dimensions of achievement, body, relationships, and spirituality before and during the pandemic. The participants’ anxiety increased with changes in these dimensions. Based on these results, it would be beneficial to support students in order to meet the needs in the life dimensions that students neglect. In addition, it is thought that the life balance model, which is being used for the first time in nursing, can be developed as a tool in the nursing practice.
