Yoğun Bakım Hemşirelerinde Merhamet Yorgunluğunun Tıbbi Hataya Eğilimi Üzerindeki Etkisinin Değerlendirilmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Bu araştırma yoğun bakım hemşirelerinde merhamet yorgunluğu ile tıbbi hata yapma eğilimi arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldı.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türdeki bu araştırma Türkiye'de özel bir sağlık grubuna ait 16 hastanenin (n=420) yoğun bakım ünitelerinde Aralık 2021 ile Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Veriler Merhamet Yorgunluğu-Kısa Ölçeği ve Hemşirelikte Tıbbi Hata Eğilimi Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı.
Bulgular: Merhamet Yorgunluğu-Kısa Ölçeği puan ortalaması 56.20±26.77, Hemşirelikte Tıbbi Hataya Eğilim Ölçeği puan ortalaması 4.82±0.28'dir. Ölçek toplam puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif korelasyon vardı (r=-0.252).
Sonuç: Araştırma kapsamında hemşirelerin merhamet yorgunluğunun orta düzey ve tıbbi hata yapma eğilimlerinin düşük düzeyde saptandı. Merhamet yorgunluğunun artması ile tıbbi hata yapma eğiliminin arttığı belirlendi. Hemşirelerin tıbbi hata yapmalarına neden olan faktörlerin belirlenmesi, gerekli önlemlerin alınması açısından oldukça önemlidir. Merhamet yorgunluğunun hasta güvenliği ve hemşirelik sonuçları üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmek için çok boyutlu çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir.

Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between compassion fatigue and tendency to medical errors in critical care nurses.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the intensive care units of 16 hospitals (n=420) belonging to a private health group in Turkey between December 2021 and March 2022. Data were collected using the Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale and the Tendency to Medical Error in Nursing Scale (r=-0.252).
Results: The nurses’ mean score on the Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale was 56.20±26.77 and their mean score on the Tendency to Medical Error in Nursing Scale was 4.82±0.28. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between total scale scores.
Conclusions: The results suggest that the nurses in this study had moderate compassion fatigue and a low tendency to medical errors. A weak relationship was observed between higher compassion fatigue and a greater tendency to medical errors. Determining the factors that cause nurses to make medical errors is crucial to enable the necessary precautions to be taken. We recommend conducting multidimensional studies to evaluate the effects of compassion fatigue on patient safety and nursing outcomes.
