Year 2022, Volume: 4 Issue: 1, 29 - 37, 25.04.2022

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, öğrencilerin Covid-19 pandemi döneminde hemşirelik mesleğini tercih etmelerinde etkili olan faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı-ilişki arayıcı tasarım tipinde planlanmıştır. Örneklem grubunu; bir vakıf üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü 1. sınıfında öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya gönüllü katılım sağlayan 262 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri “Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu” ve “Hemşirelikte Meslek Seçimi Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde frekans, ortalama, standart sapma, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal-Wallis testi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırma katılımcılarının %57.3’ünün mesleğe olan kişisel ilgiden dolayı hemşireliği tercih ettiği, %85.1’inin kendisini hemşirelik mesleğine uygun bulduğu ve %67.6’sının kendisini hemşireliğe hazır hissettiği saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin %74.4’ü hemşireliğin ilk tercihleri olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda ölçeğin toplam puan ortalaması 45.82±6.73 bulunmuştur. Mesleki uygunluk ve yaşamsal nedenler alt boyut ölçek puan ortalamaları ise sırasıyla 32.90±5.49 ve 12.90±2.98 olarak saptanmıştır.
Sonuç ve Öneriler: Öğrencilerin çoğunun hemşirelik mesleğini kişisel ilgi alanları doğrultusunda isteyerek seçtiği ve kendilerini mesleğe uygun buldukları saptanmıştır. Bu araştırma alanında, kapsamlı ve karşılaştırmalı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
