Özet

Amaç: Onkoloji kliniği hemşirelerinin deneyimlerini incelemektir. Yöntem: Araştırma nitel özellikte fenomenolojik bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir Devlet Hastanesi Onkoloji Kliniği’nde görev alan 11 hemşire oluşturdu. Veriler, soru formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplandı. Tanımlayıcı sorularda sayı ve yüzdelik kullanıldı. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler içerik analizi ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşireler 26-47 yaş aralığında, tamamı kadın, evli ve %90.9’u çocuk sahibi, %54.5’i hemşirelik mesleğini isteyerek seçmişti. Mesleki çalışma yılı 3-29 yıl aralığında, hemşirelerin %36.4’ü kronik hastalığa sahipti, %54.5’i gece vardiyasında çalışmaktaydı. Hemşirelerin tamamı mesaide kafein tüketimini artırdığını, %90.9’u yeterli uyuyamadığını ifade etti. Sigara kullanan iki kişi vardı ve yalnızca bir kişi haftada 3 gün olmak üzere egzersiz yapmakta, tamamı stresle baş etmek için çeşitli yöntemler kullanmaktaydı. Yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen veriler içerik analiziyle analiz edilerek yedi tema elde edildi. Belirlenen temalar; “Onkoloji biriminde çalışmaya ilişkin endişe”, “Hastalara yönelik karmaşık duygular”, “Hastaların prognozunu merak”, “Hastalara yönelik üzüntü”, “Hastaların hemşirelere katkısı”, “Ekip çalışmasının önemi” ve “Hastalara yönelik öneriler”di. Sonuç: Onkoloji kliniğinde çalışan hemşireler, bölümün getirdiği zorluk ve hassasiyet gerektiren çalışma sürecinde çeşitli duygu ve deneyimler yaşıyorlardı. Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen bulguların onkoloji kliniği hastaları ve hemşireleri için hastalığın yönetiminde yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.
