Aim This study aimed to evaluate nurses’ ability to evaluate ethical violations to hypothetical case studies involving social media use. Background Inappropriate use of social media necessitates health institutes, academic institutes, nurses and educators to consider occupational ethical principles while creating a policy and guide on the usage of social media. Method The data were collected confidentially from the nurses working at a university hospital in Turkey, using the Personal Information Form and the Ethic Case Form. The study was carried out using descriptive and inferential analysis. Findings Analysis of the data showed that the majority of the nurses had received training in ethics, used WhatsApp social media application most often, spent less than an hour a day on social media platforms and used social media to follow daily posts. Analyses of the ethical case evaluations showed that nurses’ level of education and ethics training status was influential on their Case 1 evaluations and the length of time they had worked was effective in Case 2 evaluations. When Case 3 evaluations of nurses were analysed according to ethics training, statistically significant differences were found. The analyses of the Case 4 and Case 5 evaluations showed that no statistically significant differences were found according to nurses’ descriptive characteristics. Conclusion The study determined that education level, ethical training status, the source of ethics training and the duration of their work in the profession were effective regarding the case evaluation of the nurses. Implications for nursing and health policy Nursing policymakers, educators, administrators and clinicians need to cooperate in the development of ethical awareness and creation of solutions to violations, the preparation of guidelines for social media use.
Aim: The study was carried out in a descriptive type in order to evaluate the attitudes of nursing students towards brain drain. Method: The research was conducted with 589 nursing students studying at a public university and agreeing to participate in the study. The data were collected using “Descriptive Features Form” and “Brain Drain Attitude Scale in Nursing Students”. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t test and ANOVA test were used to analyze the data. Findings: It was determined that more than half of the students were in the 20 years and below, female, single, 29.4 of them are studying in the first class, 77.6% of their families live in the city center and 45.0% of them have income above the minimum level. Also 81.8% of the students stated that they knew English as a foreign language, 61.1% of them knew foreign language in medium level and 94.1% did not participate in any student exchange program. The students' average score taken from the Brain Drain Attitude Scale in Nursing Students was found to be 42.98 ± 9.91. A statistically significant difference was found between the scale total score of the students and the class level where students study, the level of income, the level of known foreign language, and participation in student exchange programs (p <0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that attitudes of nursing students towards brain drain were below average. In line with the results of the research, it is recommended to conduct similar studies with different sample groups. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özet Amaç: Çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin beyin göçüne yönelik tutumlarını değerlendirilmek amacı ile tanımlayıcı türde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Araştırma bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören ve çalışmayı katılmayı kabul eden 589 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler “Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Formu” ve “Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinde Beyin Göçüne Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, independent samples t testi ve ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin %59.1’ inin 20 yaş ve altında, 75.4’ ünün kadın, %99.2’ sinin bekar olduğu, 29.4’ ünün birinci sınıfta öğrenim gördüğü, %77.6’ sının ailesinin şehir merkezinde yaşadığı ve %45.0’ ının gelir durumunu asgari düzeyin üzerinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin %81.8’ i yabancı dil olarak İngilizce’ yi bildiğini, %61.1’ i orta düzeyde yabancı dil bildiğini ve %94.1’ i herhangi bir öğrenci değişim programına katılmadığını ifade etmiştir. Öğrencilerin, Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinde Beyin Göçüne Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği’ nden aldıkları puan ortalaması 42.98±9.91 olarak bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin ölçek toplam puanı ile öğrenim gördükleri sınıf, gelir düzeyi, bilinen yabancı dil düzeyi ve öğrenci değişim programlarına katılma durumu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin beyin göçüne yönelik tutumlarının ortalamanın altında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucu doğrultusunda farklı örneklem grupları ile benzer çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir.
Objective: The study was conducted to examine the validity and reliability of the Nursing Students Competence Instrument, which was developed in order to evaluate the competences of nursing students, for the Turkish society. Methods: This methodological study was conducted with the participation of 224 third and fourth-year nursing students studying at a state university in Turkey. Identifying Information Form and Nursing Students Competence Instrument were used for data collection. In order to determine the validity of the scale, linguistic content validity analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. In order to identify the reliability of the scale, test-retest and Cronbach’s alpha analysis were used. Results: In line with the validity and reliability analyses of the scale, it was determined that the model was compatible according to fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis (X2/sd= 2.42, RMSEA= 0.08, SRMR= 0.07). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the scale was determined to be 0.96, and the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the subscales varied between 0.92 and 0.94. Conclusion: It was determined that the Turkish adaptation of the “Nursing Students Competence Instrument” was a valid and reliable scale for measuring the competence levels of nursing students. It is recommended to administer the scale to larger samples and to plan interorganizational comparative studies in order to identify nursing students’ competences.
Çalışmada, pandemi sürecinde uzaktan tamamlanan mesleki bir dersin uygulama telafisine ilişkin hemşirelik öğrencilerinin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesinin hemşirelik bölümünde ikinci sınıf düzeyinde öğrenim görecek 133 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma verileri, iki haftada gerçekleştirilen uygulama telafisi sonrasında Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Formu ve Uygulama Telafisine İlişkin Görüş Formu kullanılarak çevrimiçi ortamda toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar Testi ve Kruskal Wallis Testi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlılık düzeyi p
