Object: The aim of this study is to determine the level of compassion and the factors that affect the level of compassion of nursing students in a health college. Methods: The descriptive study has been conducted in a nursing department of a health college. "Introductory Information Form" by the researchers in accordance with the literature and developed by Pommier (2010) "Compassion Scale" has been used as the data collection tool. Analyzes of the data were conducted by using frequency, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test, Bonferroni Correlation, Spearman correlation tests in a statistical package program. Results: The sample of the research has been consisted of 494 students. It has been determined that 83.6% of the students were female and 26.7% of them were 4th grade students. The mean score of the students' compassion scale was determined as 4.19 ± 0.44. Considering the scores received from the scale; statistically significant difference has been determined in terms of negligence according to the sex, indifference, separation, mindfulness, disengagement subscales and scale overall score. In addition, statistically significant difference has been determined in terms of mindfullness sub-dimension according to the classes. There was a statistically significant difference in the subscale of common humanity according to the income status of the students. Discussion:It has been determined that the levels of compassion of the students differ in terms of gender, class and income status. Considering the highest score that can be received from the scale to be 5 in the direction of the findings obtained from the research, it is seen that the levels of compassion of the students are high. This study may be suggested to be performed in larger sample groups.

Bu çalışma Türkiye’de hemşirelik alanında merhamet konusuna yönelik yapılan lisansüstü tezlerin incelenmesi amacıyla retrospektif ve tanımlayıcı olarak yapıldı. Çalışmanın örneklemini Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi’ne kayıtlı olan ve hemşirelik alanında yapılan tezler oluşturdu. Veri tabanında tarama 1 Ocak 1968 ile 1 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında, “merhamet” ve “şefkat” terimleri kullanılarak yapıldı. Verilerin analizinde tezlerin türü, yayın yılı, amacı, örneklemi ve sayısı, yöntem ve sonuçları incelendi. Tarama sonucunda 3’ü doktora, 25’i yüksek lisans tezi olmak üzere 28 teze ulaşıldı. Tezlerin incelenmesi sonucunda çalışılan kliniğe göre hemşirelerin merhamet ve merhamet yorgunluk düzeylerinin farklılaştığı, merhamet düzeyi arttıkça merhamet yorgunluğunun azaldığı ve bakım kalitesi algısının arttığı, merhamet konusunda verilen eğitimlerin hemşirelerin merhamet yorgunluğunu azaltmada etkili olduğunun belirlendiği görüldü. Ayrıca öz-şefkatin psikolojik sağlamlıkla pozitif, merhamet yorgunluğu ile negatif ilişkili olduğu ve öz-şefkatin farkındalık temelli eğitim programlarıyla arttırılabileceğinin saptandığı belirlendi. Sonuç olarak Türkiye’de hemşirelik alanında merhamet konusunu ele alan lisansüstü tez çalışmalarının son birkaç yılda yapıldığı ve deneysel çalışmaların sayıca yetersiz olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu konuda daha büyük ve farklı örneklem gruplarıyla çalışma yapılmasının, gelecekteki araştırmalara ve konunun araştırılması gereken diğer yönlerine ışık tutacağı düşünülmektedir.
