Abstract

Clinical practices, which have an important place in nursing education, are also a source of stress for the student. To examine the clinical stress levels of senior nursing students in the operating room and surgical clinics. It was descriptive and cross-sectional study and conducted at a university in Turkey, in 2019-2020. In the study, 89 of the senior nursing students took part in the operating room and 81 in the surgical clinics. Quantitative data were collected by sociodemographic clinical characteristics form and the Pagana Clinical Stress Questionnaire. The operating room stress score of the senior nursing students was 27.41±8.75. According to the clinics, there was a significant difference between the clinical stress score of the first day. The highest clinical stress score belonged to the students who practiced in the neurosurgery clinic on the first day and in the ED on the last day. The clinical stress level of students on the last day was higher than the first day. We found that the senior nursing students' stress levels were low on the surgical clinics and the OR. The findings showed that the clinical stress level experienced by the students at the end of their surgical clinical practices was higher than the first day. When planning the clinical placements of nursing students, planning according to the clinics they have applied before and determining the practice goals according to the clinics that students will apply for the first time can reduce the clinical stress of students.

Hemşirelik Dördüncü Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Ameliyathane ve Cerrahi Klinik Uygulamalarına Yönelik Klinik Stres Durumlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Hemşirelik eğitiminde önemli bir yere sahip olan klinik uygulamalar öğrenci için de stres kaynağıdır. Bu çalışmada hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin ameliyathane ve cerrahi kliniklerindeki klinik stres düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel bir araştırma olup, 2019-2020 yıllarında Türkiye'de bir üniversitede yapılmıştır. Araştırmada hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin 89'u ameliyathanede, 81'i ise cerrahi kliniklerinde yer almıştır. Nicel veriler sosyodemografik klinik özellikler formu ve Pagana Klinik Stres Anketi ile toplanmıştır. Hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin ameliyathane stres puanı 27.41±8.75 idi. Kliniklere göre ilk gün klinik stres skorları arasında anlamlı bir fark vardı. En yüksek ilk gün klinik stres puanı beyin cerrahisi kliniğinde ve son gün acil serviste uygulanan öğrencilere aitti. Öğrencilerin son günkü klinik stres düzeyi ilk güne göre daha yüksekti. Hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin cerrahi kliniklerde ve ameliyathanede stres düzeylerinin düşük olduğunu bulduk. Bulgular, öğrencilerin cerrahi klinik uygulamalarının sonunda yaşadıkları klinik stres düzeyinin ilk güne göre daha yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin klinik yerleşimleri planlanırken daha önce başvurdukları kliniklere göre planlama yapılması ve uygulama hedeflerinin belirlenmesi öğrencilerin ilk kez başvuracakları kliniklere göre öğrencilerin klinik stresini azaltabilir.
