Abstract

Psikolojik danışmanların danışanlarının iyilik hâllerini artırabilmek için kendi iyilik hâllerine de dikkat etmeleri gerekmektedir. Bunun yanısıra etkili psikolojik danişman olabilmek için mesleğe ilişkin kişisel eğilimlere sahip olmanın önemi de alanyazında vurgulanmaktadir. Bu araştırmada psikolojik danışmanların mesleğe ilişkin kişisel eğilimlerinin iyilik hâllerini yordayıp yordamadığı sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Bu amaçla 168 psikolojik danışmana çevrimiçi olarak ulaşılmış ve veriler Mesleğe Ilişkin Kişisel Eğilimi Değerlendirme Ölçeği (MİKEDÖ), Iyilik Hâli Yıldızı Ölçeği (İHYÖ) ve kişisel bilgi formu araciliği ile toplanmiştir. İyilik hâlinin toplam puan ve beş ayrı boyutu ile MİKEDÖ’nün toplam ve altı alt boyut puanları arasında hesaplanan korelasyon katsayılarının ikisi hariç hepsinin anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur. Yapılan regresyon analizi sonucuna göre İHYÖ’nün toplam puanı ve tüm alt boyutları, MİKEDÖ’nün toplam puanı tarafından yordanmaktadır. İHYÖ’nün yaşam amacı ve hedef odaklı olma boyutu, MİKEDÖ’nün yaşam karşı olumlu tavır (YKOT) ve kişiler arası ilişkilerde özen (KİÖ); duygusal iyilik hâli YKOT, yaşantılara açık olma (YAO) ve KİÖ; bilişsel iyilik hâli YAO, KİO ve YKOT; sosyal iyilik hâli insanlara ve yardım etmeye yönelik olma (İYEYÖ), YKOT ve farklılıklara saygı (FS) ve fiziksel iyilik hâli, YAO tarafından yordanmaktadır. Bu durumda psikolojik danışmanların mesleğe ilişkin kişisel eğilimlerinin iyilik hâllerini yordadığı ve o nedenle psikolojik danışmanlara bu konuda eğitim ve destek verilmesinin işe yarayabileceği söylenebilir.

The relationship between counselors’ professional dispositions and wellness

Abstract

Counselors must prioritize their own wellness to support their clients effectively. Additionally, the literature emphasizes the importance of professional dispositions as a key requirement for effective counseling. This study explored the relationship between counselors’ professional dispositions and their multidimensional wellness. To achieve this, 168 counselors were recruited online, and data were gathered using the Personal Information Form, Professional Disposition Scale for Counselors (PDSC), and the Well Star Scale-Adult Form (WSC-AF). The PDSC includes six dimensions: Diversity tolerance, Compassionate interpersonal relationships, Prosocial orientation, Positive attitude toward life, Self-awareness/self-regulation, and Openness to new experiences. The WSC-AF covers five dimensions: Life purpose and goal orientation, Cognitive wellness, Emotional wellness, Physical wellness, and Social wellness. Stepwise regression analyses identified significant predictive relationships between these dimensions. The findings demonstrate that counselors' professional dispositions significantly predict their wellness. Based on these results, it is recommended that training and support aimed at enhancing these dispositions should be provided, as they are linked to overall wellness.
