Halk Sağlığı Hemşireliği Dersi Kapsamında Yapılan Ev Ziyaretlerine İlişkin Öğrenci Deneyimleri:Nitel Araştırma
Abstract
Amaç:Bu çalışmanın amacı hemşirelik öğrencilerinin halk sağlığı hemşireliği dersi kapsamında yaptıkları ev ziyaretlerine ilişkin deneyimlerinin tanımlanmasıdır.
Hastalar ve Yöntem:Bu tanımlayıcı nitel araştırma Türkiye’deki 110 son sınıf öğrencisinin görüşlerini yansıtmaktadır. Öğrencilerin halk sağlığı hemşireliği saha uygulaması öncesi ve sonrası deneyimlerini açıklamaktadır.
Bulgular:Öğrencilerin saha uygulama öncesi deneyimleri “güvenlik”, “aile sürecine ilişkin endişe” ve “kendini yetersiz hissetme” ana temalarından oluşmuştur. Öğrencilerin saha uygulama sonrası deneyimlerinden elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda ise “iş doyumu”, “ailelere faydalı olma” ve ” kişisel gelişime katkı” başlıklarının öne çıktığı görülmüştür.
Sonuç:Bu kısa eğitim uygulaması, öğrencilerin ailelere faydalı olmalarına ve kendi kişisel gelişimlerine katkıda bulunmalarına yardımcı olmuştur. Öğrencilerin lisans programlarıyla ev ziyaretlerine hazır olmaları geliştirilebilir, bu sayede hemşirelik öğrencileri “gerçek dünya” ile karşılaşır.
