Compassion Levels of the Intern Students of Nursing and the Influencing Factors: Pilot Study
Abstract
This research aims to determine the compassion levels of intern students of nursing and the influencing factors. It is a descriptive population research, which has been conducted with the participation of 46 student nurse interns. The data have been collected through the questionnaire that covers socio-demographic features and Compassion Scale (CS). Of the students, whose average average of age is 22.46±2.08, 80.4% are female, 58.7% are Anatolian high school graduate, 80.4% have middle income, 63% were grown up in a city and 82.6% have nuclear family. The average of total CS scores of the students is 4.07±0.54 and the sub-dimension average scores are respectively; 4.08±0.82(kindness), 4.11±0.68(indifference), 3.80±0.88(consciously sharing), 4.22±0.70(seperation), 3.96±0.77(conscious awareness) and 4.26±0.76(disengagement). In the research, females have higher scores than males in sub-dimension of being aware of CS sharings. It has been detected that the ones who were grown up in city centers and who take an active role in solving their friends’ problems have higher compassion levels(p<0.05). The ones who live in a nuclear family, statistically have higher average scores in sub-dimension of indifference(p<0.05). A significant difference has been detected between the variable of “mother’s level of education” and the average of total scores of CS kindness, indifference, and disengagement(p<0.05). It has been determined that intern students of nurse have high compassion levels; gender, family structure, place where they grew up, taking active role in solving their friends’ problems and mothers’ level of education are effective on the compassion levels of the students.
