In the study, a questionnaire including data about the socio-demographic and professional characteristics of the nurses and Compassion Scale and Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire were used. The data were collected online. In the analysis of comparative data, Pearson correlation analysis, t-test, one way ANOVA analysis and tests were used. Results: In the study, it was found that the total mean scores of the nurses were 94.4511.75 for the com-passion scale and 76.7626.91 for the moral sensitivity questionnaire. There was negative correlation be-tween the compassion total score and holistic approach, orientation while positive correlation between the total score and conflict, practice subscales. There was positive correlation moral sensitivity total scale and subscales kindness, common humanity, mindfulness while negative correlation between total score and disengagement.

 Giriş: Hemşireler, Covid-19 pandemisi sırasında bakım yükü, farklı fiziksel, psikolojik ve duygusal etkilerle karşılaşmıştır. Amaç: Covid-19 sürecinde hemşirelerin merhamet düzeyi ile ahlaki duyarlılıkları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi. Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma, bir yıldır pandemi hastanesi olarak hizmet veren Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde 20 Ocak-20 Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında 713 hemşire ile tamamlandı. Çalışmada; hemşirelerin sosyo-demografik ve mesleki özelliklerine ilişkin verileri içeren bir soru formu ile Merhamet Ölçeği ve Ahlaki Duyarlılık Ölçeği kullanıldı. Veriler çevrimiçi olarak toplandı. Karşılaştırmalı verilerin analizinde Pearson korelasyon analizi, t-testi, tek yönlü ANOVA analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmada hemşirelerin toplam puan ortalamaları merhamet ölçeği için 94.4511.75 ve ahlaki duyarlılık anketi için 76.7626.91dir. Merhamet toplam puanı ile holistik yaklaşım, oryantasyon arasında negatif ilişki varken, çatışma ve uygulama alt boyutları arasında pozitif ilişki vardı. Ahlaki duyarlılık toplam puanı ile sevecenlik, paylaşım bilinci, farkındalık alt boyutları arasında pozitif ilişki varken, ilişik kesme alt boyutu ile arasında negatif ilişki vardı. Genç kadın, bekar, çocuğu olmayan, işlem öncesi hasta ve yakınının görüşünü alan hemşirelerin merhamet ölçeği puanı daha yüksekti. Lise mezunu, 11 yıl ve üzeri görev yapan hemşirelerin ahlaki duyarlılık puanları daha yüksekti. Sonuç: Pandemi sürecinde merhametin ahlaki duyarlılığı olumlu ve olumsuz boyutlarda etkilediği söylenebilir. Bu stresli süreçte hemşireleri manevi ve psikolojik açıdan desteklemek, ahlaki duyarlılığı arttırmak için eğitimler düzenlemek önerilebilir.
