Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada COVID-19 sürecinde diyabet hemşirelerinde empatik eğilim düzeyi, hasta merkezli bakım ve diyabet hastalarının glisemik düzeyi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amaçlandı.
Yöntem: Bu araştırma, kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipte yapıldı. Araştırma, 01.06.2021-30.12.2021 tarihleri arasında COVID-19 pandemi süreci nedeniyle online anket oluşturularak (google.docs uygulaması) sosyal medya platformunda (Whatsapp) yürütüldü. Çalışmanın örneklemini 92 diyabet hemşiresi ve 920 diyabet hastası oluşturdu. Veriler; hemşire ve hastalar için Kişisel Tanıtım Formu, Hemşireler İçin Jefferson Empati Ölçeği (HÖİJEÖ) ve Hasta Merkezli BakımYetkinliği (HMBY) Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Veriler, bilgisayarda SPSS 20.0 programı kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Çalışmada veri özelliğine göre Mann-Whitney U testi, bağımsız gruplarda Student t testi ve Pearson Korelasyon analizi uygulandı.
Bulgular: COVID-19 sürecinde diyabet hemşirelerinin empatik eğilim düzeyleri ve HMBY puanının yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Diyabet hemşirelerinin empatik eğilim düzeyi ile diyabet hastalarının A1c düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenmedi (p>.05). Lisansüstü eğitime sahip diyabet hemşirelerinin, lisans mezunu hemşirelere göre empatik eğilim düzeyinin istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek olduğu bulundu (p<.05). Kronik hastalığı olmayan diyabet hemşirelerinin kronik hastalığı olan hemşirelere göre HMBY puanının istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek olduğu saptandı (p<.05).
Sonuç: COVID-19 sürecinde diyabet hemşirelerinin HÖİJEÖ düzeyleri ve HMBY puanının yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Bununla birlikte diyabet hemşirelerinin HÖİJEÖ düzeyleri ile HMBY puanı ve hastaların A1c düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı.

Investigation of the Effects of Empathic Tendency Level in Diabetes Nurses on Patient-Centered Care and Glycemic Level in Diabetes Patients in the COVID-19 Process

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the level of empathic tendency, patient-centered care in diabetes nurses, and the glycemic level of diabetes patients during the COVID-19 process.
Methods: This study was conducted in a cross-sectional and descriptive type. The research was conducted on the social media platform (WhatsApp) by creating an online survey (google.docs application) due to the COVID-19 pandemic process between 01.06.2021 and 30.12.2021. The sample of the study consisted of 92 diabetes nurses and 920 diabetic patients. Data were collected using the Personal Identification Form for nurses and patients, the Jefferson Empathy Scale for Nurses, and the Patient-Centered Care Efficacy Scale. The data were evaluated using the SPSS 20.0 program on the computer. In the studyMann-Whitney U test, Student’s t test and Pearson Correlation analysis were applied in independent groups according to data characteristics.
Results: It was determined that diabetes nurses had high empathy levels and patient-centered care competence scores. There was no significant relationship between the empathic tendency level of diabetes nurses and the A1c level of diabetes patients (p>.05). Diabetes nurses with a postgraduate education level were found to have a statistically higher level of empathy tendency than nurses with a bachelor's degree (p<.05). It was determined that the patient-centered care competence score of the diabetes nurses without chronic disease was statistically higher than the nurses with the chronic disease (p<.05).
Conclusion: During the COVID-19 process, it was determined that the diabetes nurses' empathy levels and patient-centered care competence scores were high. However, there was no significant relationship between diabetes nurses' levels of empathy and patient-centered care competence scores and patients' A1c levels.
