Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Ahlaki Duyarlılıkları ile İlişkili Faktörler

Öz

Giriş: Nitelikli ve ahlaki olarak duyarlı hemşireler yetiştirebilmek için öğrencilerin ahlaki duyarlılıkları ile ilişkili faktörlerin farkında olunması gereklidir. Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin ahlaki duyarlılık düzeylerinin sosyodemografik ve eğitimsel değişkenlere göre değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma kesitsel tanımlayıcı olarak planlanmıştır. Toplamda 300 hemşirelik öğrencisinden 189'u çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Veriler Ahlaki Duyarlılık Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin toplam ahlaki duyarlılık (F2-186,=3.82, p=0.020) ve otonomi (F2-186=6.65, p=0.000) puanları yaş ve eğitim düzeyine göre azalmaktadır. Arkadaşları ile birlikte yaşayan (F2-171=4.09, p=0.008) ve etik dersi alan (t=2.34, p=0.020) öğrencilerin ahlaki duyarlılıkları daha düşük olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Beklenenin aksine öğrencilerin ahlaki duyarlılığı bazı alt boyutlarda ve toplam puanlarda yaşa ve eğitim düzeyine göre azalmaktadır, diğer alt boyutlarda herhangi bir farklılık görülmemiştir. Bu sonuçlarda altı çizilen nedenler yapılacak nicel ve nitel çalışmalar ile değerlendirilmelidir

The Related Factors of Moral Sensitivity in Nursing Students

Öz

Background: Educating high quality and morally sensitive nurses requires educators to be aware of variables related to students’ moral sensitivity. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the moral sensitivity levels of nursing students according to sociodemographic and educational variables. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive design. The number of respondents was 189 of the total 300 undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected using the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ). Results: Total moral sensitivity (F2-186,=3.82, p=0.020) and autonomy (F2-186=6.65, p=0.000) scores of students decreased with age and educational level. The students who were living with their friends (F2-171=4.09, p=0.008) and who had taken ethic courses (t=2.34, p=0.020), had a lower level of moral sensitivity. Conclusion: Contrary to expectations, moral sensitivity levels of students usually decreased by age and educational level in some sub-dimensions and the total scores, other sub-dimensions did not show any differences. The underlying causes of these results should be explored with further quantitative and qualitative studies
