Onkoloji hemşirelerinde algılanan stres, iletişim becerileri ve psikolojik semptomlar arasındaki ilişkiler Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı onkoloji hemşirelerinde algılanan stres, iletişim becerileri ve psikolojik semptomlar arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Yöntem: Çalışma İstanbul'da onkoloji birimlerinde çalışan 102 hemşireyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler Bilgi Formu, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (ASÖ), İletişim Becerilerini Değerlendirme Ölçeği (İBDÖ) ve Kısa Semptom Envanteri (KSE) kullanılarak toplanmış ve tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analiz ve sperman korelasyon analizi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin ASÖ puan ortalaması 16.85 (SD=6.08), İBDÖ puan ortalaması 73.34 (SD=23.28) ve KSE puan ortalaması 32.68 (SD=33.13) bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin %84.3'ü öfkeli ve ajite hastalarla iletişimde güçlük yaşadıklarını ifade etmiştir. ASÖ ile İBDÖ arasında (r=-0.28; p<0.01) ve ASÖ ile KSE toplam puan (r=0.50; p<0.01) ve alt boyutları arasında pozitif bir korelasyon saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Onkoloji birimlerinde çalışan hemşirelerin iletişim becerilerini güçlendirmek ve algıladıkları stres düzeylerine yönelik girişimde bulunmak hem hemşirelerin kendi psikolojik sağlıklarına hem de hasta ve ailelerle yaşadıkları iletişim güçlüklerini azaltmaya ve dolayısıyla sunulan hizmetin kalitesine olumlu katkıda bulunabilir.

Methods: The study was conducted in collaboration with 102 nurses working in oncology departments of hospitals in Istanbul. The data was collected through Questionnaire Form, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Communication Skills Assessment Scale (CSAS) and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSS). Descriptive statistical analysis and spearman correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results: Nurses received 16.85 (SD=6.08) points from PSS, 73.34 (SD=23.28) points from CSAS, and lastly 32.68 (SD=33.13) points from BSI. 84.3% of the nurses reported experiencing communication problems with angry and agitated patients. There was a negative correlation between PSS and CSAS (r=-0.28; p<0.01). A positive correlation was found between PSS and BSI total scores (r=0.50; p<0.01) and all the other sub-dimensions. Conclusion: Improving communication skills of oncology nurses and the interventions for their perceived stress levels may have effects as promoting their own psychological health as well as decreasing communicational difficulties with the patients and their families; and thus, it may affect the quality of care.

“…High scores on the EE and DP subscales and a low score on the PA subscale is deemed to be suggestive of high levels of perceived burnout. This measure is considered to be the gold standard for measuring burnout (Dorez, Novara, Sica, & Sanavio, 2003;Schutte, Toppinen, Kalimo, & Schaufeli, 2000). The subscales demonstrate high internal consistency (EE, α = .90; DP, α = .79; PA, α = .71) as reported by Maslach and Jackson (1981).…”
