Özet:

 Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the ethical attitudes of nurses working in the internal medicine and surgical wards of a university hospital. Materials and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2021 with 156 volunteer nurses working in a university hospital. Data were collected using the Nurse Introduction Form and Ethical Attitude Scale in Nursing Care. The ethics committee and institutional permissions were obtained for the study. Data were analyzed by descriptive analyses, and Mann-Whitney U tests in SPSS 20.0 software. Results: It was determined that 52.6 of the nurses worked in internal medicine services, 64.7 had undergraduate education, 73.1 of their cohabitants were diagnosed with COVID-19, and 75 of them provided care to patients diagnosed with COVID-19. 26.3 of the nurses stated that they were diagnosed with COVID-19, and 58.5 of those diagnosed stated that the source of transmission was the hospital environment. In the study, the mean score of the Ethical Attitude in Nursing Care Scale was found to be 157.28  13.31 Scale score range: 34170. It was determined that the ethical attitudes of nurses who did not provide care to patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were significantly higher than those of those who did p  0.05. It was determined that other variables did not affect attitude in nursing care p  0.05, and there was no relationship between age, working time, and attitude levels p  0.05. Conclusion: In this study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic period, it was determined that nurses ethical attitudes toward caring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 negatively affected their ethical attitudes. According to the results of this study, it is recommended that interventions be made to improve the ethical attitudes of nurses, especially those who care for COVID-19 patients, in nursing care.

 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, bir üniversite hastanesinin dahiliye ve cerrahi servislerinde çalışan hemşirelerin, hemşirelik bakımındaki etik tutumlarını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel nitelikte olan bu araştırma, Eylül - Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında, bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan 156 gönüllü hemşire ile yapıldı. Veriler Hemşire Tanıtım Formu ve Hemşirelik Bakımında Etik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Araştırma için etik kurul ve kurum izinleri alındı. Verilerin analizi SPSS 20.0 programında tanımlayıcı analizler ve Mann Whitney U kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin 52,6sının dahiliye servislerinde çalıştığı, 64.7sinin lisans eğitimi aldığı, birlikte yaşadığı kişilerin 73.1inin COVID-19 tanısı aldığı, 75inin COVID-19 tanılı hastalara bakım verdiği belirlendi. Hemşirelerin 26.3ü COVID-19 tanısı aldığını, tanı alanların 58.5i bulaş kaynağının hastane ortamı olduğunu belirtti. Araştırmada Hemşirelik Bakımında Etik Tutum Ölçeği puan ortalaması 157.28  13.31 Ölçekten alınabilecek puan aralığı: 34-170 olarak bulundu. COVID-19 tanısı alan hastalara bakım vermeyen hemşirelerin etik tutumlarının, bakım verenlere göre, anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu belirlendi p  0.05. Diğer değişkenlerin hemşirelik bakımında tutumu etkilemediği p  0.05, ayrıca yaş ve çalışma süresi ile tutum düzeyleri arasında bir ilişki olmadığı p  0.05 saptandı. Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemi döneminde yapılan bu araştırmada hemşirelerin bakımda etik tutumlarının olumlu olduğu ve COVID-19 tanılı hastalara bakım vermenin etik tutumlarını olumsuz etkilediği belirlendi. Bu araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, özellikle COVID-19 hastalarına bakım veren hemşirelerin, hemşirelik bakımında etik tutumlarının geliştirilmesi için, girişimlerde bulunulması önerilmektedir.
