Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Afete Müdahalede Öz Yeterliliklerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin afete müdahalede öz yeterliliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ilişkisel tipteki araştırma İzmir ilinde bulunan bir hemşirelik fakültesi ve bir sağlık bilimleri fakültesi hemşirelik bölümü ile Manisa ilinde bulunan bir sağlık bilimleri fakültesi hemşirelik bölümünde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini bu okullarda öğrenim gören dördüncü sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmuş, çalışma 548 öğrenci ile tamamlanmıştır. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Afete Müdahalede Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği aracılığıyla Google Forms linki oluşturularak çevrimiçi toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler, Mann Whitney U Testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.86 ± 1.05 (min:20 max:40) olup %70.6’sı kadındır. Katılımcıların %37.2’si Hemşirelik Fakültesinde öğrenim görmektedir ve %54.4’ü lisans ders programında afet/olağanüstü durumlarda hemşirelik ile ilgili bir eğitim almıştır. Öğrencilerin Afete Müdahalede Özyeterlilik Ölçeği puan ortancası 65.0’dır. Afet hemşireliği ile ilgili eğitim alan öğrencilerin ölçek puan ortancası istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin afete müdahale öz yeterlilikleri orta düzeyde bulunmuş olup, bu konuda alınan eğitimin öğrencilerin yeterlilik düzeylerini arttırdığı belirlenmiştir. Ülkemizde görülen afetlerin çeşitliliği ve sıklığı göz önünde bulundurulduğunda hemşirelik eğitimi müfredatına afet hemşireliği ile ilgili derslerin eklenmesi önerilmektedir.
