Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
This present study was aimed at investigating the spiritual care-related views and practices of students.This descriptive study was conducted between March 2016 and June 2016 at a faculty of health sciences and a nursing faculty. The study population comprised 384 fourth-year nursing students studying in the aforementioned two faculties. Of these 384 students, 292 were included in the study sample.The mean age of the participants was 22.83 ± 1.57. Of the participants, 81.8% were female, 97.6% were single, 55.1% were nursing faculty students and 6.8% were nurses. The rate of the students who stated that they were knowledgeable about spiritual care was 57.9%, and 64.3% (n = 169) of them obtained this knowledge from the faculty. Of the students, 94.1% stated that the patient should be provided with spiritual care, 71.2% said that they were not guided by the teaching staff or responsible nurses on the provision of spiritual care, and 50.7% said that they were not able to meet the spiritual needs of individuals/patients. Of the students, 65.1% did not take lessons about spiritual care in the school they were studying, 69.9% considered themselves incompetent in providing spiritual care to their patients and 81.8% wanted to receive training in spiritual care. In the present study, the rate of those who stated that they were able to meet spiritual requirements of patients was higher among female students (x2 = 7.699, p = 0.006), those attending the nursing faculty (x2 = 8.797, p = 0.003) and those who took courses on spiritual care (x2 = 18.882, p = 0.001). The rate of those who stated that the provision of spiritual care was necessary was higher among those who wanted to receive education on spiritual care (x2 = 17.382, p = 0.001) and those attending the nursing faculty (x2 = 5.549, p = 0.018).It is considered necessary that colleges or faculties should have courses on spiritual care, that students’ lack of spiritual care-related knowledge should be dealt with, and that students should be supported and provided opportunities so that they can give spiritual care to patients they look after. ÖzetBu araştırmada hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenimine devam etmekte olan son sınıf öğrencilerin manevi bakıma ilişkin görüş ve uygulamalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırma, bir sağlık bilimleri fakültesi ve bir hemşirelik fakültesinde, Mart-Haziran 2016 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini iki fakültede öğrenim gören 384 dördüncü sınıf hemşirelik öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemine 292 öğrenci dâhil edilmiştir.Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 22.83 ± 1.57, %81.8’i kadın, %97.6’sı bekar, %55.1’i hemşirelik fakültesi öğrencisi ve %6.8’i hemşire olarak çalışmaktadır. Öğrencilerin %57.9’u manevi bakım konusunda bilgisi olduğunu ve bilgisi olanların (n=169) %64.3’ünün bu bilgiyi fakültesinden aldığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %94.1’i bireye /hastaya manevi bakım vermenin gerekli olduğunu, %71.2’si manevi bakım verme konusunda öğretim elemanı ya da sorumlu hemşiresi tarafından yönlendirilmediğini ve %50.7’si bireylerin /hastaların manevi gereksinimlerini karşılayamadığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %65.1’i eğitim gördüğü fakültede manevi bakımla ilgili ders almadığını belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %69.9’unun hastalarına manevi bakım verme konusunda kendilerini yeterli olarak görmedikleri ve %81.8’inin manevi bakım konusunda eğitim almak istediği belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada kız öğrencilerde (x2=7.699, p=0.006), hemşirelik fakültesinde öğrenim görenlerde (x2=8.797, p=0.003) ve manevi bakımla ilgili ders alanlarda (x2=18.882, p=0.001) bireylerin / hastaların manevi gereksinimlerini karşılayabildiklerini belirtenlerin daha fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Manevi bakımla ilgili eğitim almak isteyenlerde (x2=17.382, p=0.001) ve hemşirelik fakültesinde öğrenim görenlerde (x2=5.549, p=0.018) manevi bakım vermenin gerekli olduğunu düşünenlerin oranının daha fazla olduğu görülmüştür.Hemşirelik eğitimi veren yüksekokul veya fakültelerde manevi bakım konusunda derslerin verilmesi, öğrencilerin bu konudaki eksik bilgilerinin giderilmesi ve öğrencilerin bakım verdiği bireylere/hastalara manevi bakımı sağlayabilmeleri için fırsatların sağlanması ve desteklenmelerinin gerektiği görülmektedir.
