Nursing Education During Coronavirus 2019 Pandemic Process: Uncertainties and Suggestions

Öz

Nursing education has a structure that requires the application of the theoretical knowledge gained to the student during the learning process in the clinical field. However, during the coronavirus 2019 pandemic, which has been fought on a global scale since the end of 2019, many changes are occurring in human life in order to break the transmission chain of the virus. One of these changes is that institutions providing education in the field of nursing have to continue their formal education processes, which are given face-to-face, through distance education. In this process, evaluations on technological infrastructure, access to and use of information resources of educators and students could not be made. This process, which has not yet been structured and keeps students away from the clinical field, poses a threat to nursing students' cognitive, affective and psychomotor competencies that they need to gain in their educational processes. Therefore, many uncertainties arise regarding both the theoretical and practical dimensions of nursing education, and it is seen that views on the sustainability of nursing education have been put forward in the literature. The purpose of the review is to make inferences and suggestions in line with the literature regarding the uncertainty about how nursing education can be maintained during the Coronavirus 2019 pandemic process.

Koronavirüs 2019 Pandemi Sürecinde Hemşirelik Eğitimi: Belirsizlikler ve Öneriler

Öz

Hemşirelik eğitimi, öğrenim sürecinde öğrenciye kazandırılan teorik bilgilerin klinik alanda uygulamasını gerektiren bir yapıya sahiptir. Ancak 2019 yılının sonlarından itibaren küresel boyutta mücadele edilen Koronavirüs 2019 pandemi sürecinde, virüsün bulaşma zincirini kırabilmek amacıyla insan yaşamında birçok değişim yaşanmaktadır. Bu değişimlerden birisi de hemşirelik alanında eğitim veren kurumların yüz yüze verilen örgün eğitim süreçlerini uzaktan eğitim aracılığı ile devam ettirmek zorunda kalmalarıdır. Oldukça hızlı gerçekleştirilen bu süreçte teknolojik alt yapı, eğitimci ve öğrencilerin bilgi kaynaklarına ulaşma ve bunları kullanma durumları gibi konularda değerlendirmeler gerçekleştirilememiştir. Henüz yapılandırılmamış olan ve öğrencileri klinik alandan uzaklaştıran bu süreç hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitim süreçlerinde bilişsel, duyuşsal ve psikomotor alanlarda kazanmaları gereken yeterliliklere yönelik tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla hemşirelik eğitiminin hem teorik hem uygulamalı boyutuna yönelik birçok belirsizlik doğmakta olup, uluslararası boyutta hemşirelik eğitiminin sürdürülebilirliğine yönelik görüşlerin ortaya koyulduğu görülmektedir. Derlemenin amacı, Koronavirüs 2019 pandemi sürecinde hemşirelik eğitiminin nasıl sürdürülebileceği konusundaki belirsizlik hakkında literatür doğrultusunda çıkarımlarda ve önerilerde bulunmaktır.
