ONKOLOJİ ALANINDA BAKIMVERENLERİN TÜKENMİŞLİĞİ

Abstract

Onkoloji,
etkileşim gerilimi yüksek ve stres düzeyi çok yoğun bir alandır. Onkoloji
alanında çalışmak, bütün sonuçlarla yüzleşecek bir enerjiyi ve kendini adamayı
gerektirmektedir. Tükenmişlik, onkoloji alanında bakunverenler [doktor, hemşire
ve sosyal hizmet uzmanları (SHU)]’in günlük çalışmalarının doğal bir sonucu
olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Tedavide hastalara verilen bakım ve gösterilen ilgi
bu personel için en önemli tükenmişlik kaynağıdır. Tükenmişliğin birey ve örgüt
kökenli olumsuz sonuçlarının denetlenip kontrol edilebilmesi ve etkili bir
şekilde yönetilebilmesi için onkoloji alanında bahmverenleri etkileyen
tükenmişlik faktörlerinin tanınması ve tanımlanması büyük bir önem
taşımaktadır. Aşağıdaki çalışmada, onkoloji alanında bakımverenlerin yaşadığı
tükenmişliğin tanımlanması, nedenleri ve birey ve Örgüt üzerindeki olası
sonuçları ve tükenmişliğin etkisinin azaltılmasında SHU’nın ne tür çalışmalar
yapabileceği tartışılmaktadır.
