HEMŞİRELİK ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN KANSER HASTALARINA YÖNELİK PROBLEM ÇÖZME EĞİTİMİ SONRASI YAPTIKLARI PSİKOSOSYAL MÜDAHALELERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

                                                                      

 Hemen hemen hergün, hemşireler hasta bireylerin problemleri
ve psikososyal alana ilişkin krizler ile karşı karşıya kalabilmektedirler.
Hemşireler sıklıkla hasta bireylere; hastalığa yoğun duygusal tepkiler, bakımı
zorlaştıran kişilik özellikleri, psikiyatrik hastalılar ve hasta bireyin
hastalık veya tedavi sürecine yönelik tepkilerini etkileyen stresleri ve aile
problemleri alanında bakım vermektedirler. Psikososyal problemleri ortaya
çıkaran davranışları tanıma becerisi ve onları etkili bir şekilde yönetme
becerisi geliştirmek hem hastaların tedavi sürecini olumlu etkilemekte hem de
hemşirelerin daha fazla doyum almalarını sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma 2015-2016
eğitim öğretim güz döneminde, Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt Üniversitesi Sağlık
Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin kanser hastalarına yönelik problem çözme eğitimi
sonrası yaptıkları psikososyal müdahalelerinin incelenmesi  amacıyla planlanmıştır. Klinik uygulamanın ilk günü öğrencilere problem
çözme becerisi eğitimi verilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde öğrenci
bakım planları raporları ve hasta eğitim görüşme raporları incelenmiştir.
Öğrencilerin hasta bakım sürecinde “Bireysel baş etmede yetersizlik” hemşirelik
tanısını alıp hemşirelik müdahalesinde problem çözme becerileri aşamalarını
kullanarak hemşirelik girişimleri planlayabildikleri görülmüştür. Klinik
uygulamanın sonunda öğrencilerin hasta bireye uygun bilgi verme, dinleme,
empati becerilerini kullanabilme ve hasta bireyin psikolojik gereksinimleri
tanımlayabilme becerilerinin hasta bakım sürecinde olumlu etkisinin olduğuna
ilişkin farkındalıklarının geliştiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
