Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin depresyon düzeyleri ve stresle baş etme yöntemleri

Year 2019, Volume: 6 Issue: 4, 255 - 261, 31.12.2019

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, Lisans eğitimi alan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin depresyon
düzeyleri ve stresle başetme yöntemlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı
olarak yapılmıştır. 
Gereç ve Yöntem:  Çalışmanın evrenini, 2015-2016 eğitim öğretim
döneminde Hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören toplam 292 öğrenci, örneklemini
ise araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 226 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Görüşme
Formu, Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ve Stresle Başa Çıkma Yolları Ölçeği (SBYÖ)
kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilere araştırmanın
amacı konusunda bilgi verilerek, formlar yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile
uygulanmıştır.  Verilerin
değerlendirilmesinde, yüzde, ortalama, t testi, varyans analizi ve Tukey testi
kullanılmıştır. Değerlendirmelerde anlamlılık düzeyi olarak p<0.05 kabul
edilmiştir. 
Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması
20.8±1.2 ve %77.4’ü kadındır. Öğrencilerin BDE puan ortalamalarının 12.50±10.20 olduğu,
%27’sinin depresyon ölçeğinden yüksek puan
aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Yapılan istatistiksel
analize göre,
sınıf, okul yaşamından memnuniyet durumu, çalışırken okuma durumu, fiziksel ve
ruhsal sağlık algısı ile depresyon

arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Çalışmaya katılan
öğrencilerin
stresle
baş etmede kendine güvenli yaklaşım yöntemini kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. 
Sonuç:
Elde
edilen bulgulara göre hemşirelik bölümünde okuyan öğrencilerin yaklaşık dörtte
birinin depresyon puanının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
 Birinci
sınıf öğrencilerine yeni üniversite ortamı ve yeni eğitim sistemine uyumunu
arttırmak için oryantasyon programlarının düzenlenmesi, son sınıf öğrencilerine
mezuniyete hazırlığa yönelik adaptasyon programlarının yapılmasının,
öğrencilerin ruh sağlığının geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Depression levels of nursing students and their methods for coping with stress

Year 2019, Volume: 6 Issue: 4, 255 - 261, 31.12.2019

Abstract

Aim: This research was conducted as a descriptive study to
determine depression levels and coping methods of stress of nursing students
who have undergraduate education. 
Materials
and Methods: The population of the study consisted of 292 students who
studied in Nursing Department in 2015-2016 education period and 226 students
who accepted to participate in the research. Data collection has been done through
the use of an interview form developed by the researchers, Beck Depression
Inventory (BDI) and Ways of Coping Checklist (WCC).

The students were given information about the purpose of the research
and the forms were applied by face to face interview method. Percentiles,
means, t-test, variance analysis and Tukey tests have been applied for the
analysis of the data. p<0.05 is
accepted as the threshold for statistical significance. 
Results: The mean for ages of the students is 20.8±1.2 and %77.4 of
the students is female. The students have been observed to have a mean of
12.50±10.20 for BDI and %27 of them scored high in depression tests. According
to the results of the conducted statistical analysis, tenure, satisfaction with
school life, working as a student, physical and mental health perception have
been found to be significantly related to depression (p<0.05). Students involved in the study have been observed to
use the self- confidence approach methodology in order to cope with stress. 
Conclusion: The results of the study
revealed that nearly a quarter of the nursing students are on the verge of
depression.
