Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Yaklaşım (TAY) durumları ve öğrencilerin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin incelenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı tipte olup, örneklemi, hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören 145 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında, Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Yaklaşımlara Yönelik Bilgi Edinme Formu ile ‘Sağlık Okur Yazarlığı Ölçeği’ kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin %60’ının TAY’a başvurduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin %62,8 i TAY konusunda bilgi kaynaklarına ulaşamadığını bildirmiş, %92,4’ü ise TAY’ın hemşirelik müfredatında bulunması gerektiğini düşündüğünü bildirmiştir. Çalışmamızda öğrencilerin TAY kullanma durumu ve sağlık okuryazarlıkları arasında fark bulunamamıştır (p>0,05). Hemşirelik öğrencilerinden TAY hakkında bilgi kaynaklarına ulaşabildiğini düşünenlerin sağlık okuryazarlığı ölçeği toplam puanları, bilgiye erişim, anlama, değer biçme/değerlendirme ve uygulama/kullanma puanları düşünmeyenlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Öğrenciler TAY’a yönelik olarak eğitim süreçleri boyunca yeterli bir sağlık okuryazarlığı bilgisine ihtiyaç duymaktadırlar. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin eğitimleri boyunca doğru ve yeterli bilgi ile donatılarak sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyleri ve TAY konusundaki yeterliliklerinin arttırılması, hemşirelik müfredatlarında bu konulara yer verilmesi önerilmektedir.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Complementary and Alternative Approaches of Nursing Students and Health Literacy

Abstract

Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between complementary and alternative methods of nursing students and their health literacy levels.
Method: This study was carried out in order to examine the complementary and alternative approach (TAM) status of nursing students and the level of health literacy of the students. For data collection; a descriptive Information Form and Health Literacy Scale ’were used.
Findings: End of the study; it was found that 60% of the nursing students use complementary and alternative methods. 62.8% of the students stated that they do not have sufficient knowledge about complementary and alternative methods, 92.4% of them stated that they think that complementary and alternative approaches should be included in nursing curriculum. In our study, no difference was found between students' use of complementary and alternative methods and their health literacy. (p>0,05). Health literacy scale total scores, access to information, understanding, appraisal/evaluation and application/use scores of nursing students who think that they have sufficient knowledge about complementary and alternative methods were found to be statistically higher than those who do not think they have sufficient knowledge level. (p>0,05).
Conclusions: Students need an adequate knowledge of health literacy throughout the education process for complementary and alternative methods. According to the results of the research, it is suggested that the students should be equipped with accurate and sufficient information throughout their education to increase their health literacy levels and complementary and alternative methods competencies and to include these subjects in nursing curricula.
