Abstract

Amaç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinde duygusal emek davranışı ile profesyonellik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte olan çalışma 557 öğrencisi ile yürütüldü. Veriler SPSS 21.0 istatistiksel yazılım paketi kullanılarak, yüzde, ortalama, t testi, Anova, Pearson korelasyonu ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Hemşirelik öğrencileri en yüksek derinlemesine davranış, en düşük ise samimi davranış göstermekte ve profesyonel davranışları uygulama becerilerinin orta düzeydedir. Duygusal emek davranışı ile profesyonel davranışları uygulama düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı (p>0,05) . Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinde duygusal emek davranışının profesyonel davranışları uygulama düzeylerini etkilemediği saptandı. Öğrencilere sorun yaşandıklarında destek olunması derinlemesine ve samimi davranış sergilenmesini desteklemekte ve profesyonel davranışları uygulama düzeylerini artırmaktadır.
