Abstract

Giriş: Son yıllarda öz şefkat, şefkatli bakımı kolaylaştırabilecek bir kavram olarak tartışılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, hemşirelik öğrencileri için öz şefkatin anlamı ve hemşirelik bakımındaki yeri hakkında çok az şey bilinmektedir.

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin öz-şefkat deneyimlerini, hasta bakımında öz-şefkatin önemine ilişkin algılarını ve öz şefkatin önündeki engelleri keşfetmektir.

Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı kalitatif bir çalışmadır. Veriler kalitatif içerik analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular:Analiz sonucunda üç tema ortaya çıkmıştır: (1) başkalarına gösterdiğim gibi kendime şefkat gösterebiliyor muyum?, (2) öz şefkatin önündeki engeller ve (3) öz şefkati geliştirmek.

Sonuç: Hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencilerinin bakış açısıyla öz-şefkatin şefkatli bakım sağlamada önemli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bulgular, öz şefkatin önündeki engellerin farkında olarak öz şefkat kavramının lisans eğitimine entegre edilmesinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Senior Baccalaureate Nursing Students’ Experiences of Self-Compassion: A Qualitative Descriptive Study

Abstract

Methods: This research constitutes a qualitative descriptive study. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

Results: Three themes emerged: (1) am I able to show compassion for myself as I show it for others?, (2) barriers to self-compassion, and (3) Improving self-compassion.

Conclusion: It was concluded that self-compassion is important for providing compassionate care from the perspective of senior baccalaureate nursing students. The findings suggest the necessity of integrating the concept of self-compassion into undergraduate education by being aware of any barriers to self-compassion.
