Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Hümanistik Bakım Becerilerinin Geliştirilmesi: Sistematik Derleme

Öz

Amaç: Hümanistik bakım, hastaların ihtiyaç ve isteklerini anlamaya, duygularına empatiyle yaklaşmaya, etkili iletişim kurmaya ve terapötik ilişkiler geliştirebilmek için yaşamın değerine saygı göstermeye dayalı bir yetkinlik olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu yaklaşım, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin mesleki yeterliliklerini ve hasta bakım kalitesini artırmada önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinde hümanistik bakım becerilerinin geliştirilmesine yönelik kullanılan yöntemlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin hümanistik bakım becerilerinin gelişimine katkıda bulunacak müdahale çalışmaları sistematik derleme kapsamına alınmıştır. Bu doğrultuda 1 Ocak 2004 ile 05 Mart 2024 tarihleri arasında yayınlanan müdahale çalışmaları MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System), Web of Science, COCHRANE Library (The Cochrane Collaboration), PUBMED ve OVİD veri tabanları kullanılarak taranmıştır. Taramada anahtar kelime olarak “Humanistic care”, “Humanistic care competence” ve “Humanistic care in nursing education” terimleri kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Tarama sonucunda 414 yayına ulaşılmıştır. Tekrar eden, tam metnine ulaşılamayan ve İngilizce dışı bir dille yazılan yayınlar inceleme kapsamına alınmamış, toplamda 169 yayının tam metnine ulaşılıp incelenmiştir. Tam metin incelemeleri sonucunda dahil edilme kriterlerine uyan üç yayın çalışma kapsamına alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada varsayımsal modelleme, anlatısal yöntem ve randomize kontrollü, nitel tipte uygulanan çalışmaların hemşirelik öğrencilerinde hümanistik bakım becerilerini geliştirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Sonuç: Farklı öğretim yöntemleri ile hemşirelik öğrencilerinin hümanistik bakım yetkinliklerine yönelik çalışmaların hız kazanarak devam etmesi önerilmektedir.
