Genç Hemşirelerin Hemşirelik Mesleği imajına Yönelik Algısı ve Tercih Nedenleri

Year 2021, Volume: 7 Issue: 2, 1 - 14, 30.08.2021

Abstract

Hemşirelik mesleği, genç ve uygun niteliklere sahip öğrencileri, hemşirelik ve hemşirelik programlarında tutma becerisini etkileyen, imajla ilgili zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Kariyer seçen gençlerin meslekleri ile ilgili imaj ve algıları hakkında çok az şey bilinmektedir. Hemşire adaylarının, hemşirelik mesleğini ve imajını nasıl algıladıkları ve bu mesleği seçerken etkileyen faktörleri anlamak için daha fazla bilgiye ihtiyaç vardır. Bu araştırma, hemşirelik öğrencilerin mesleğe yönelik imaj algılarının ve bu mesleği tercih etme nedenlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır. Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, Mart–Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında, Türkiye'nin güneybatısında yer alan bir devlet üniversitesinde okuyan 574 hemşirelik öğrencisiyle yapılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak; “Tanılama Formu” ve "Hemşirelik Mesleğine Yönelik İmaj Algısı Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Hemşirelik Mesleğine Yönelik İmaj Algısı Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 149.76±10.51 (min=42, max=210) olarak bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin %63.9'u bu mesleği iş bulma kolaylığından, %21.4'ü ideali olduğu için ve %14.6'sı da ailesi istediği için tercih ettiğini ifade etmiştir. İdeali olduğu için bu mesleği tercih edenlerin, üç kez ve üzeri sınava girdikten sonra hemşireliği kazananların, bölümü tercih etmeden önce ailesinin ve kendisinin görüşü olumlu olanların, meslekle ilgili şuandaki görüşü olumlu olanların, tercih etmeden önce meslek ile ilgili bilgi alanların ve bu bilgiyi sadece rehber öğretmenden alanların hemşireliğe yönelik imaj algısı puan ortalamaları daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<.05). Hemşirelik imajı çok önemli bir konu olmasına ve onu iyileştirmeye yönelik girişimlerde bulunulmasına rağmen hemşirelerin imajı hala istenilen düzeyde değildir.

Young nurses’ choice and perception of the image of the nursing profession

Year 2021, Volume: 7 Issue: 2, 1 - 14, 30.08.2021

Abstract

The nursing profession is faced with image-related challenges that affect the retention of young and appropriately qualified students in nursing profession and their participation in nursing programs. Little is known about young people’s perceptions of the image of their profession when they choose a career. More information is needed to understand how nurses perceive the nursing profession and its image, and the factors that affect them when they choose the profession. It was planned to determine nursing students’ perception of the image of the nursing profession and the reasons why they chose this profession. This descriptive study was conducted with 574 students studying between March-June 2019. Tools used for data collection were the “Information Form” and the Scale for the Image of Nursing Profession. The mean score obtained from the Scale by the participants was 149.76 ± 10.51. While 63.9% of the participating students chose this profession because it is easy to find a job as a nurse, 21.4% chose it because their ideal was to become a nurse and 14.6% chose it because their family wanted them to become a nurse. Although the image of nursing is so important an issue, and attempts to improve it have been made, the image of nurses is still not at the desired level.
