Abstract

Objectives: Assertiveness is a significant skill for a qualified health service. Psychological empowerment, on the other hand, is an intrinsic motivation providing self-confidence for the individuals to reach their goals sucessfully. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between nursing students’ psychological empowerment and assertiveness. Methods: In order to collect data, Information Form, Psychological Empowerment Scale and Rathus Assertiveness Scale have been used. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation and cronbach alpha etc.), t test, anova test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used in the analysis of the data. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the research was 20.93±1.26, 91.4% of these students were females. The highest mean point between the psychological empowerment and assertiveness inventory was observed in the Second Grade students. A significant difference was found between the assertiveness level of nursing students and psychological empowerment. Conclusions: It is thought that encouragement of psychological empowerment will contribute to increase the assertiveness skills. This study is crucial in determining the relationship between psycological empowerment and assertiveness and in emphasizing the necessity of including this subject in the nursing education curriculum.

Özet

Giriş: Atılganlık kaliteli sağlık hizmeti için önemli bir beceridir. Psikolojik güçlendirme ise bireylerin hedeflere başarıyla ulaşma konusunda güven duymalarını sağlayan içsel bir motivasyondur. Bu araştırmanın amacı hemşirelik öğrencilerinin psikolojik güçlendirme ve atılganlık düzeyleri ile ilişkisini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Veri toplamak için Bilgi Formu, Psikolojik Güçlendirme Ölçeği ve Rathus Atılganlık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler (frekans, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma ve cronbach alfa vb), gruplar arasındaki fark için t testi, anova testi ve Kolmogorov- Smirnov testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.93±1.26, %91.4’ü kadındır. Psikolojik güçlendirme ve atılganlık envanteri toplam puanları arasında en yüksek ortalama puanın ikinci sınıf öğrencilerinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin atılganlık düzeyi ile psikolojik güçlendirme arasında anlamlı fark bulunmuştur. Sonuç ve Öneriler: Psikolojik güçlendirmenin teşvik edilmesi atılganlık becerilerinin arttırılmasına katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma psikolojik güçlendirme ve atılganlık düzeyi ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesinde ve bu konuların hemşirelik eğitim müfredatında yer verilmesi gerekliliğini vurgulamak için önemlidir.
