Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, cerrahi kliniklerde çalışan hemşirelerin yaşlı bireylerin beslenme bakımını değerlendirme öz-yeterliklerinin belirlenmesidir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırma, Temmuz-Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında Marmara bölgesindeki bir ilde yer alan iki kamu hastanesinin cerrahi kliniklerinde çalışan 163 hemşire ile gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmanın verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Hemşireler için Yaşlı Yetişkinlerin Beslenme Bakımını Değerlendirme Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Cerrahi hemşirelerinin yaş ortalaması 26.60±5.87 yıl olup %74.8’i kadın ve %12.9’u genel cerrahi kliniğinde çalışmakta idi. Cerrahi hemşirelerinin Hemşireler için Yaşlı Yetişkinlerin Beslenme Bakımını Değerlendirme Öz-Yeterlik Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 98.62±18.10 olarak bulundu. Erkek hemşirelerin ölçek toplam ve alt boyutlarına ait puan ortalamaları kadın hemşirelerden daha yüksekti (p<0.05). Altı-on yıldır cerrahi klinikte çalışan hemşirelerin bilgi alt boyutu puan ortalaması bir-beş yıldır cerrahi kliniklerde çalışan hemşirelerden daha yüksekti (p<0.05). Sonuç: Cerrahi kliniklerde çalışan hemşirelerin yaşlı bireylerin beslenme bakımını değerlendirme öz-yeterlikleri orta düzeyin üzerindedir. Hemşirelerin yaşlı yetişkinlerin beslenme bakımını değerlendirmede daha yüksek düzeyde öz-yeterliliğe sahip olması için hem hemşirelik eğitiminde konunun üzerinde durulması hem de çalışılan kurumda kurum kültürü haline getirilmesi gerekmektedir.
Aim: The aim of this research is to determine the self-efficacy of nurses working in surgical clinics in assessing nutritional care of elderly adults. Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 163 nurses working in surgical clinics of two public hospitals in a province in the Marmara region between July-August 2023. The data of the study were collected using the Personal Information Form and The Self-Efficacy Scale for Nurses to Assess the Nutritional Care of Older Adults. Results: The mean age of surgical nurses was 26.60±5.87 years, with 74.8% being female and 12.9% working in the general surgery clinics. The total score average on The Self-Efficacy Scale for Nurses to Assess the Nutritional Care of Older Adults was found to be 98.62±18.10. The mean scores of male nurses on the total and sub-dimensions of scale were statistically higher compared to female nurses (p<0.05). The mean knowledge subscale score of nurses who have been working in surgical clinics for six to ten years was statistically higher compared to those with one to five years (p<0.05). Conclusion: The self-efficacy of nurses working in surgical clinics in evaluating nutritional care of elderly adults is above the medium level. To enhance nurses' efficacy in evaluating nutrition care for elderly adults, emphasis should be placed on nursing education and fostering a cultural shift within healthcare institutions.
