HEMŞİRELİK VE YAŞLI BAKIM BÖLÜMÜ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN KANSER HASTALARINA YÖNELİK BİLGİ VE TUTUMLARI VE BU DEĞİŞKENLERİ YORDAYAN FAKTÖRLERİN İNCELENMESİ

Tuba METİN1 , Özlem UĞUR2

Hemşirelik ve yaşlı bakım bölümlerinde eğitim gören öğrenciler, geleceğin sağlık bakım ekiplerinin günümüzdeki temsilcileridir. Sağlık profesyonellerinin bilgi ve tutumlarının kanserli hastalara verilen bakımın kalitesi ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, hemşirelik ve yaşlı bakım bölümü öğrencilerinin kanser hastalarına yönelik bilgi ve tutumları ve bu değişkenleri yordayan faktörlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türdedir. Katılımcılar hemşirelik ve yaşlı bakım öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamada Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Kanser Bilgi Yükü Ölçeği ve Kansere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi çoklu linear regresyon yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 160 öğrenci katılmıştır. Hemşirelik ve yaşlı bakım öğrencilerinin kanser bilgi yükü puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 18.08±1.2 ve 18.11±1.8, kansere yönelik tutum puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 127.30±4.7 ve 135.90±5.0’dır. Hemşirelik ve yaşlı bakım öğrencilerinin kanser hastalarına yönelik bilgi yükü düzeylerinin birbirine yakın olduğu ve yaşlı bakım öğrencilerinin kansere yönelik tutum düzeylerinin ise daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.

THE KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES OF NURSING AND ELDERLY CARE STUDENTS TOWARDS CANCER PATIENTS AND THE FACTORS PREDICTING THESE VARIABLES

Tuba METİN1 , Özlem UĞUR2

Students studying in nursing and elderly care departments are today's representatives of future health care teams. The knowledge and attitudes of health professionals are thought to be related to the quality of care given to patients with cancer. This study aims to examine the knowledge and attitudes of nursing and elderly care students towards cancer patients and the factors predicting these variables. The study is descriptive and cross-sectional. Participants consisted of nursing and elderly care students. Personal Information Form, Cancer Information Burden Scale and Attitude Towards Cancer Scale were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression method. 160 students participated in the study. The mean cancer knowledge burden scores of nursing and elderly care students were 18.08±1.2 and 18.11±1.8, respectively, and the mean cancer attitude scores were 127.30±4.7 and 135.90±5.0, respectively. It was determined that the knowledge burden levels of nursing and elderly care students towards cancer patients were close to each other and the attitude levels of elderly care students towards cancer were higher.
