Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bilinçli farkındalık düzeyini ve etkileyen faktörleri ortaya koymaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, 2018 Aralık ve 2019 Mayıs ayları arasında Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta bulunan bir özel üniversitenin hemşirelik fakültesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni ve örneklemi, 2018-2019 akademik yılının güz ve bahar dönemlerinde hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören Türk ve yabancı lisans öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Veriler, “Bilgi Formu” ve “Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Öğrencilerin bilinçli farkındalıkları orta düzeyde bulundu. Müzik enstrümanı öğrenen, kendini maceracı olarak tanımlayan ve stresi etkili yöneten öğrencilerin bilinçli farkındalık düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca spor ya da iyi oluş etkinliklerine katılmayan öğrencilerde bilinçli farkındalık düzeyleri anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu (p ≤ 0.05).
Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bilinçli farkındalıklarının, entelektüel faaliyetlere katılımları, spor yapma alışkanlıkları, kişilik profilleri ve günlük stresle başa çıkma becerileri tarafından önemli ölçüde şekillendirildiğini göstermektedir.

Mindfulness Levels of Nursing Students and Associated Factors

https://izlik.org/JA66CM59DF

Öz

Aim: The aim of the study was to reveal the mindfulness levels of nursing students and the factors influencing these levels.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted in the nursing faculty of a private university in Northern Cyprus during December 2018 and May 2019. The population and sample of the research consist of Turkish and foreign undergraduate students studying in the nursing department in the fall and spring semesters of the 2018-2019 academic year. Data were collected with the "Information Form" and "Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale”.
Results: The mean scores of students’ mindfulness attention awareness were found at a moderate level. Mindfulness attention awareness was higher among students who learned a musical instrument, identified as adventurous, and who coped effectively with stress. Additionally, those not engaged in sports or well-being activities showed significantly higher mindfulness levels (p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: The study demonstrates that nursing students’ mindfulness attention is significantly shaped by their engagement in intellectual activities, participation in sports, personality profiles, and ability to cope with daily stress.
