Özet:

 This study aims to compare the psychological health and perception of God among healthcare professionals according to their occupation, seniority, gender, age, marital status and level of education and to examine the relationship between their psychological health and perception of God. The research was conducted using the correlational survey model, which is one of the quantitative research method. The study group consisted of a total of 198 healthcare professionals working in Sincan Dr. Nafiz Körez State Hospital. Of the participants, 79.29 n  157 were female and 20.71 n  41 were male. The data were collected through the God Perception Scale developed by Güler 2007, the scale known as Brief Symptom Scale BSS adapted to Turkish and the personal information form prepared by the researcher. The results of the study show that love-oriented perceptions are high and fear-oriented perceptions are low among healthcare professionals. The healthcare professionals levels of the perception of God have been found to be similar regardless of factors such as age, gender, marital status, seniority and level of education. The lowest dimension in the psychological health levels of healthcare professionals is somatization, while the highest dimensions are depression and hostility. Factors such as age, gender, level of education and marital status of the participants do not affect their psychological health levels. The study also reveals that there is a slight decrease in the levels of anxiety, depression and negative self-perception with the increase in the level of love-oriented perception of God among the participants.

 Bu araştırma, sağlık çalışanlarının psikolojik sağlık ile Tanrı algılarının meslek, kıdem, cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum ve eğitim düzeylerine göre karşılaştırılmasını; psikolojik sağlıkları ile Tanrı algıları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden birisi olan ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma grubu Sincan Dr. Nafiz Körez Devlet Hastanesinde görev yapan toplam 198 sağlık çalışanından oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların 79,29u n  157 kadın, 20,71i n 41 erkek çalışanlardan oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın verilerini toplamak için Güler 2007 tarafından geliştirilen Tanrı Algısı Ölçeği, Türkçeye uyarlanan Kısa Semptom Ölçeği KSÖ olarak bilinen ölçek ve araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda, sağlık çalışanlarının Tanrı algısı, sevgi yönelimli algıların yüksek, korku yönelimli algıların düşük olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, sağlık çalışanlarının Tanrı algısı düzeyleri, yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum, kıdem ve eğitim düzeyi gibi faktörlere bakılmaksızın benzerlik görülmektedir. Sağlık çalışanlarının psikolojik sağlık düzeylerinde en düşük olduğu boyut somatizasyon iken en yüksek olduğu boyutlar depresyon ve hostilite olarak tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların yaşları, cinsiyetleri, eğitim düzeyleri ve medeni durumları gibi faktörlerin psikolojik sağlık düzeylerini etkilemediği görülmüştür. Ayrıca, katılımcıların sevgi yönelimli Tanrı algısı düzeylerinin artmasıyla anksiyete, depresyon ve olumsuz benlik algısı düzeylerinde hafif bir azalma olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
