Abstract
Spiritual care which is included in holistic care functions as a strong support mechanism in the processes of accepting the disease and coping with the disease. The present study was conducted to examine the spirituality and spiritual care perceptions and moral sensitivity of nursing students. The study conducted with the descriptive method was conducted with 176 nursing students studying in the 3rd and 4th grades. In the collection of data, “Descriptive Features Form”, “Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale", and “Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire” were used. It was stated by the students that 75% of them believed in the necessity of spiritual care, 73.9% were incompetent about providing spiritual care, 46% of them faced an ethical dilemma during clinical application. The total Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale score average of the students was 46.72±5.94 and the total Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire score mean was 112.22±35.00. In conclusion, it was determined that the spirituality and spiritual care perceptions and moral sensitivities of students were moderate. It is suggested to use different teaching methods that would increase moral sensitivities and improve the spirituality and spiritual care perceptions of students during nursing education.
Bütüncül bakım içerisinde yer alan manevi bakım, bireyin hastalığını kabullenme ve hastalığı ile baş etme süreçlerinde güçlü bir destek mekanizması olarak işlev görür. Bu çalışma hemşirelik öğrencilerinin maneviyat ve manevi bakım algıları ile etik duyarlılıklarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı tipte yapılan bu çalışma 3. ve 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören 176 hemşirelik öğrencisiyle yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında “Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu”, “Maneviyat ve Manevi Bakım Dereceleme Ölçeği” ve “Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi” kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin %75’i manevi bakımın gerekliliğine inandığını, %73,9’u manevi bakım verme konusunda kendini yeterli bulmadığını, %46’sı klinik uygulama sırasında etik ikilemle karşılaştığını ifade etmiştir. Öğrencilerin Maneviyat ve Manevi Bakım Dereceleme Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 46,72±5,94, Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi toplam puan ortalamasının ise 112,22±35,00 olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak çalışmada öğrencilerin maneviyat ve manevi bakım algılarının ve etik duyarlılıklarının orta düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Hemşirelik eğitimi sırasında öğrencilerin maneviyat ve manevi bakım algılarını olumlu yönde geliştirecek ve etik duyarlılıklarını arttıracak farklı öğretim yöntemlerinin kullanılması önerilmektedir.
