Abstract

It was aimed to evaluate the transition process of 15-year-old Z.Y. to menstruation according to three nursing theorists. In the method of the research, the theoretical framework of "Parse's Theory of Being Human, Meleis's Theory of Transition and Kolcaba's Comfort Theory" was provided to the nursing approach of the case. The information of the case was collected through the Demographic Data Collection form and the Menstruation Period Data Collection form. Evaluation was made according to the main themes of the theories. According to Meleis' transition theory, the phenomenon is; While the nature of transition was handled under the themes of facilitators/blockers of transition, and outcome indicators, this period was handled as relief, relaxation and superiority in Kolcaba's comfort theory. The same period in Parse's theory of being human was themed as meaning, rhythmic and transcendent. It was seen that there were similarities and differences between the three theories in terms of approach to menstruation. It is recommended to use theories/models and to support theory/model-based nursing research, and to define standardizations for how theories and models will be used in research.

Hemşire Teorisyenler Parse, Meleis Ve Kolcaba’ya Göre Menstruasyon Süreci: Karşılaştırmalı Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Bu makalede 15 yaşındaki Z.Y.’nin mestruasyona geçiş sürecinin, üç hemşirelik teorisyenine göre değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Araştırmanın yönteminde olgunun hemşirelik yaklaşımına “Parse’nin İnsan Olma Teorisi, Meleis’in Geçiş Kuramı ve Kolcaba’nın Konfor Kuramı teorik çerçeve olarak sağlanmıştır. Olgunun bilgileri Demografik Veri Toplama formu ve Menstrüasyon Dönemi Veri Toplama formu ile toplandı. Değerlendirme teorilerin ana temalarına göre yapıldı. Meleis’in geçiş teorisine göre olgu; geçişin doğası, geçişin kolaylaştırıcıları/engelleyicileri ve sonuç göstergeleri temaları altında ele alınırken, Kolcaba’nın konfor kuramında ise bu dönem ferahlama, rahatlama ve üstünlük olarak ele alındı. Parse insan olma teorisinde aynı dönem; anlam, ritmik ve aşkınlık olarak temalandırıldı. Menstruasyon süreci üç teorisyen açısından değerlendirilip karşılaştırıldığında, menstruasyona yaklaşım açısından üç kuram arasında benzerlikler ve farklılıkların olduğu görüldü. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda hemşirelik alanında teori/model kullanımı, teori/model temelli hemşirelik araştırmalarının desteklenmesi, teori ve modellerin araştırmalarda nasıl kullanılacağına ilişkin standardizasyonların tanımlanması önerilmektedir.
