HEMŞİRELERDE ŞEFKAT YORGUNLUĞUNUN BAKIM DAVRANIŞLARI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: İSTANBUL ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Giriş: Şefkat yorgunluğu, bireyin acı çeken bir kişiye yoğun fiziksel ve duygusal güç uygulaması sonrasında ortaya çıkan empati kaybı, duygusal geri çekilme, duygusal kapanma, çaresizlik ve öfke olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Ayrıca şefkat yorgunluğu hemşirelerin tükenmişliğini ve bakım verme becerisindeki kaybı tanımlamak için de kullanılmaktadır. Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelerin yaşadıkları şefkat yorgunluğunun bakım davranışlarına etkisini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırmanın evrenini İstanbul şehir merkezindeki tüm hastanelerde görev yapan 42.410 hemşire, örneklemini ise güç analizi ile belirlenen 381 hemşire oluşturmuş olup, çalışma kartopu yöntemiyle gönüllü olarak katılan 403 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Şefkat Yorgunluğu Ölçeği ve Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği-24 ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, normallik testi, bağımsız gruplarda t-testi, ANOVA, post hoc analizler ve Pearson korelasyon testleri ile çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizleri kullanılmaktadır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin Şefkat Yorgunluğu Ölçeği puan ortalamasının 1,91±0,31, Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği puan ortalamasının ise 5,46±0,55 olduğu belirlendi. şefkat yorgunluğu ile bakım davranışları ölçeklerinin alt boyutları arasında anlamlı ve zayıf ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin şefkat yorgunluğu algılarının orta düzeyde, bakım davranışları algılarının ise yüksek düzeyde olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca şefkat yorgunluğu algısının bakım davranışlarını etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.

Data were collected with Introductory Information Form, Compassion Fatigue Scale, and Caring Behaviors Scale-24. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, normality test, t-test in independent groups, ANOVA, post hoc analyses, and Pearson correlation tests, as well as multiple linear regression analyses. Results: It was determined that the mean score on Compassion Fatigue Scale was 1.91±0.31, and the mean score on Caring Behaviors Scale was 5.46±0.55 for Nurses. Significant and weak correlations were found between compassion fatigue and the sub-dimensions of caring behaviors scales.
