Terminal Care and Death Through the Eyes of Turkish Nursing Students: A Qualitative Research Study
Öz: Aim: This study was aimed to determine the thoughts and feelings of nursing students emerging during the provision of care to terminally ill patients. Material and Method: It is a qualitative study. The study population consisted of 12 students who volunteered to participate in the study. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form and focus group interview technique. Descriptive and content analysis techniques were used for the data analyses. Results: The study found out that the majority of the students defined death as a “sad ending” and “loss”. Some students stated that they kept an attitude of acceptance, while others stated that they experienced intense feelings of fear when they encountered death. The students stated that they generally felt sorry for the patient, felt ineffective, and experienced an intensification of their fears of death when providing care for terminally ill patients. Furthermore, all of the students said that terminal care should aim to “minimize pain and provide an abundance of resources”.Conclusion: This study shows that nursing students need to get more education about terminal care and that further qualitative studies should be conducted to investigate the feelings of nursing students from various aspects.
Anahtar Kelime: Türk Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Gözünden Yaşam Sonu Bakım ve Ölüm: Bir Kalitatif Araştırma
Öz: Amaç: Araştırma, terminal dönem hastalarına bakım veren hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bakım sırasında yaşadıkları duygular ve ölüm hakkındaki düşüncelerini belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Araştırma nitel desende tasarlanmıştır. Araştırma grubunu, çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 12 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ve odak grup görüşmesi tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Araştırmada, öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğu ölümü “Hüzün verici bir son ve kayıp” olarak tanımlamıştır. İlk defa ölümle karşılaştıklarında bazı öğrenciler kabullenici bir tutum sergilediğini, bazıları ise korku duygusunu yoğun olarak yaşadıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Öğrenciler, terminal dönem hastalarına bakım verirken genellikle hasta için üzüldüklerini, çersizlik hissettiklerini ve kendi adlarına da ölüm korkularının arttığını belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin tamamı, terminal dönem bakımın amacının, “az ağrı ve refah içinde ölüm” şeklinde olması gerektiğini söylemiştir.Sonuç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin terminal dönem bakımı konusunda daha fazla eğitime ihtiyaçları olduğunu ve bu konuda öğrencilerin duygularının farklı boyutlarıyla da ele alındığı nitel çalışmaların artırılması gerektiğini göstermektedir.
