Abstract

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the level of knowledge of nursing students about the palliative care and the effects of the training provided within this context. Method: In the study, a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test/post-test was used. The sample included 52 students enrolled in palliative care courses at Kırıkkale University Department of Nursing in the fall semester of an academic year. The data of the survey were collected by means of a questionnaire prepared using “Descriptive Characteristics Form”and “Palliative Care Knowledge Test”. In the evaluation of the data, percentile and mean (± SD) and Wilcoxon test were utilized. Results: In our study, it has been determined that the students got an average of 10.1± 1.6 points over 20 points before the course about the palliative care knowledge test , while their average point raised to 15.2± 1.6 points after they took the course. The difference between the mean scores was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: It has been determined that palliative care courses effected the participating students favourably, and increased their knowledge levels It has been recommended that palliative care courses should be included in the curriculum of nursing as a obligatory or selective lessons.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin palyatif bakıma ilişkin bilgi düzeylerini saptamak ve bu konuda yapılan eğitimin etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, öğrencilere ön test/son test yapılarak yarı deneysel bir çalışma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini hemşirelik bölümünde palyatif bakım dersini alan 52 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri “Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu” ve “Palyatif Bakım Bilgi Testi” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde yüzdelik hesaplama, ortalama ve Wilcoxon testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin palyatif bakım dersini almadan önce palyatif bakım bilgi testinden 20 puan üzerinden “10.1±1.6” puan aldıkları, dersin sonunda ise “15.2±1.6” puan aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin dersi almadan önce ve aldıktan sonrası puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Öğrencilere verilen palyatif bakım dersinin öğrencilerin bilgilerini olumlu yönde etkilediği ve bilgi düzeylerini yükselttiği belirlenmiştir. Palyatif bakım dersinin hemşirelik müfredat programlarına seçmeli ya da zorunlu ders olarak eklenmesi önerilmektedir.
