The Effect of Compassion Training on the Compassion Competencies and Ethical Sensitivities of Nursing Students
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Values have an important place in the nursing profession. In this context, it is necessary to know the concept of compassion, which is among the values of health care.
Since the concept of Compassion-Compassion takes place in many disciplines, it has many definitions. According to the Turkish Language Association, it is defined as 'the feeling of sadness and pity for the bad situation that a person or another living thing encounters' (TDK). In the Dictionary of Bioethics Terms, it is defined as "an emotion directed towards a person or group (sometimes other than human beings) in a difficult or worse situation" .
When compassion is considered in the nursing profession, it is seen as an ethical obligation. The ethical codes and declarations of the American Nurses Association and the International Council of Nurses are also based on compassion .
While talking about care in Roach, he suggested that the concept of compassion is one of the characteristics that a caregiver should have . Cummings and Bennett defined the features required for the formation of a care culture with the concept of 6 Cs and emphasized that compassion is important here .
Compassion can be learned and developed from the environment and conditions. The purpose of education is to provide individuals with certain behaviors. Explaining compassion education to students not only increases compassion towards other individuals, but also allows them to have positive emotions, integrating the coping methods they have gained into their own lives, increasing their feelings of compassion towards themselves.
The concept of compassion adequacy was defined by Lee and Seomun as "the capacity of a person to successfully fulfill the responsibilities expected from him within the norms of society". Nurses should not only have the care that meets the physical needs, but also have the adequacy of the skills that meet the psychosocial needs. Moral sensitivity has an important place in this holistic care provided by nurses.
Moral sensitivity is seeing the existence of ethical problems. It is also defined as the personal capacity to identify ethical problems in specific events in the relationship between patients and nurses. A nurse who does not have compassion for her patient cannot realize the situation of the patient and does not have moral sensitivity.
Generation Z, who will be in the nursing profession in the coming years, will have weak family ties, underdevelopment of their emotional intelligence, more narcissistic personalities, love to work independently, have high individuality and are less loyal than other generations. causes a low sense of compassion and therefore negatively affects their moral sensitivities. Since the Z generation is usually an only child and prevents socialization with people, their interpersonal relationships are weaker than other generations.
In this context, although there are studies in the literature stating that compassion has an important place in nursing education, no study has been found that examines the effect of compassion education on nursing students' compassion efficacy.
The aim of this thesis is to examine the effect of compassion education on compassion proficiency in nursing students.
