Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma onkoloji hastaların manevi bakım gereksinimlerini ve onkoloji hemşirelerinin manevi bakım yeterliliklerini incelemeyi amaçladı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir tasarımdadır. Bu araştırma ülkemizin İzmir ilinde bir hastanenin onkoloji biriminde tedavi alan onkoloji hastaları (n=324) ve hastalara bakım veren onkoloji hemşireleri (n=17) ile yapıldı. Araştırmanın verileri hastalar için Manevi Gereksinimler Ölçeği ve hemşireler için Manevi Bakım Yeterlilik Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. İstatistiksel analizde, sayı, yüzdelik, puan ortalaması ve standart sapma kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeylerini hesaplamada p<0.05 alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Onkoloji hastalarının yaş ortalaması 57,60±11,41 yıldır. Hastaların yarısından fazlası (%61), en azından nadiren de olsa manevi bakıma gereksinimi duyduğunu belirtti. Onkoloji hemşirelerinin yaş ortalaması 37,11±1,13 yıldır. Hemşirelerin Manevi Bakım Yeterlilik Ölçeği madde puan ortalaması 3,77±0,45 (min=3,26, maks=4,73)’dir. Hemşirelerin Manevi Bakım Yeterlilik Ölçeğin alt boyutlarının madde puan ortalamaları sırasıyla Manevi Bakımın Değerlendirilmesi ve Uygulanması için 3,34±0,58, Manevi Bakımda Profesyonellik ve Hasta Danışmanlığı alt boyutu için 3,44±0,66 ve Hastanın Maneviyatına Karşı Tutumu ve İletişimi alt boyutu için 4,52±0,60’dır.
Sonuç: Onkoloji hastalarının yarıdan fazlasının manevi bakım gereksinimi vardır. Onkoloji hastalarına bakım veren onkoloji hemşirelerinin manevi bakım yeterlilikleri orta düzeydedir.
