There was no statistically significant difference between the average of BDI-24 total points and subscale scores of nurses according to their gender, education status, working duration in palliative care clinic and weekly working hours. Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference between the BDI-24 total point average and subscale scores of the patients according to the diagnosis, gender, marital status, educational status, occupation, income level and place of residence.

ÖzetAmaç: Araştırma, bir palyatif bakım kliniğinde hemşirelik bakım kalitesini ve bakım kalitesini faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmış tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir çalışmadır.Materyal ve Method: Araştırma Türkiye’nin batısında bir devlet hastanesinin palyatif bakım kliniğinde çalışan hemşireler (n=16) ile Ocak-Ekim 2015 tarihleri arasında palyatif bakım kliniğinde yatan hastalar (n=102) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada örneklem hesaplamasına gidilmemiş, araştırmanın yürütüldüğü tarihler arasında kriterlere uyan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden tüm hemşire ve hastalara ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, Hemşire ve Hasta Tanıtım Formu ve Bakım Davranışları-24 Ölçeği (BDÖ-24) kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde Student t, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U testi ve One Way ANOVA testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Hemşirelerinin BDÖ-24 toplam puan ortalaması 5.59±0.15, hastaların 5.10±0.15 olarak bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin cinsiyet, eğitim durumu, mesleki çalışma süresi, palyatif bakım kliniğinde çalışma süresi ve haftalık çalışma saatlerine göre; hastaların tanısı, cinsiyeti, medeni durumu, eğitim durumu, mesleği, gelir düzeyi ve yaşadığı yere göre BDÖ-24 toplam puan ortalamaları ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamı bir fark saptanmamıştır. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin ve hastaların hemşirelik bakım davranışlarını algılama düzeyleri oldukça yüksek bulunmuştur. Hemşirelik bakım kalitesini etkileyen hemşire sayısı, hasta sayısı, iş yükü, çalışma saati gibi kurumsal yetersizliklerin belirlenmesi ve iyileştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
