Hemşireler Pandemilerde Neler Yaşıyor? Bir Ölçek Geliştirme Çalışması

Öz

Amaç: Hemşirelerin pandemi sürecinde karşılaştıkları güçlükleri belirlemek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı geliştirmektir.

Yöntem: Çalışma kesitsel ve metodolojik bir tasarımdadır. Karma yöntem kullanılarak 15 Mayıs-15 Ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında İstanbul'da 405 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Taslak Ölçek ile çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler, geçerlik güvenirlik analizi ve toplam puan ortalamaları SPSS 21 ve AMOS 22 programları kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.

Bulgular: 38 madde dört boyutta gruplandırılmıştır. Varyans oranı %66,88 idi. Uyum istatistikleri uygundu. Madde toplam korelasyon puanları 0.42-0.82 arasındaydı (p<0.001). Cronbach'ın alfa değeri 0.92 idi. Ölçümler arasında oldukça anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunurken (r:0.88 p<0.001), test-tekrar test ortalama puanları arasında anlamlı fark yoktu (t:1.349, p:0.188). Ölçeğin genel ortalama puanı 3.50±0.62 idi.

Sonuç: Geçerli ve güvenilir olan ölçek, hemşirelere, sağlık kurumları yöneticilerine ve politika yapıcılara güçlüklerle başa çıkma stratejileri geliştirmede yardımcı olabilir.

What Do Nurses Experience in Pandemics? A Scale Development Study

Öz

Aim: To develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to identify the challenges nurses face during pandemics.

Method: The study has a cross-sectional and methodological design. Using a multi-method approach, it was conducted with 405 nurses in Istanbul between May 15 and August 15, 2020. Data were collected online via the Personal Information Form and Draft Scale. Descriptive statistics, validity reliability analysis, and total score averages were evaluated for data analysis using SPSS 21 and AMOS 22 programs.

Results: 38 items were grouped into four dimensions. The variance rate was found as 66.88%. Goodness-of-fit statistics were appropriate. The total correlation scores of the items were between 0.42-0.82 (p<0.001). Cronbach's alpha value was 0.92. There was no significant difference between the test-retest mean scores (t:1.349, p:0.188), while a highly significant correlation was found between the measurements (r:0.88 p<0.001). The overall mean score of the scale was 3.50±0.62.

Conclusions: The valid and reliable scale can assist nurses, managers of healthcare institutions, and policymakers in developing coping strategies for the challenges.
