Cerrahi Hemşirelerinin Baskın Dili Konuşamayan Hastalarda Bakım Deneyimleri ve Algıları: Nitel Bir Çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Baskın konuşulan dili anlama ve konuşma konusunda yetersiz olan hastaların perioperatif süreçte daha fazla olumsuz deneyim yaşayabildiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma, baskın dili konuşamayan hastalara perioperatif bakım sağlama konusunda cerrahi hemşirelerin deneyimlerini ve algılarını araştırmayı amaçlamıştır.

Yöntem: Bu çalışma, 13 cerrahi hemşirenin katılımıyla yürütülen kalitatif bir araştırmadır. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış bir form kullanılarak derinlemesine görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tematik analiz kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada ayrıca verilerin güvenilirliğini ve metodolojik titizliğini artırmak için Lincoln ve Guba kriterleri kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Araştırma verileri üç ana temanın belirlendiğini göstermiştir: (1) bakım gereksinimlerini belirlemede kullanılan alternatif yöntemler, (2) iletişimi kolaylaştırmada kullanılan stratejiler ve (3) mesleki öz-yetersizlik algısı.

Sonuç: Bu çalışma; hemşirelere, sağlık yöneticilerine ve politika yapıcılarına bu hastalar için bakım kalitesini iyileştirme, hasta güvenliğini artırma ve yenilikçi çözümler geliştirme konularında rehberlik edebilir.
