The results emphasized the need for continuing training in this area.

Objectives:The study determines the effects of the hospitals ethical climate on the moral sensitivity of nurses. Methods: The study design is descriptive and correlational. The data was obtained from 99 nurses who voluntarily accepted to fully participate in the surveys conducted. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlations. Results: As a result of the study, the ethical climate perception of nurses and their moral sensitivity level was found to be above average. A positive, meaningful and medium relationship was found between the moral sensitivity level of nurses and ethical climate perceptions of nurses. Conclusions: Our findings support that the ethical climate perception of nurses is an important factor in determining the moral sensitivity. Consequently, building an ethical climate in all the hospitals that provide health care will result in a high moral sensitivity of nurses when giving health care.

Spiritual care is a part of integrated care and should not be considered as a separate aspect of palliative care. Spirituality is seen as a requirement that must be met for all patients. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of palliative care on the perception levels of student nurses regarding spirituality and spiritual care. The research was carried out as a single-group pretest-posttest intervention study. The study was conducted with 70 student nurses. Data were collected via personal information form and spirituality and spiritual care grading scale (SSCGS). Frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, paired sample t-test and Wilcoxon test were used to analyze the data. 55.7% of the students who participated in research stated that they had never heard of spiritual care, and 81.4% of the students stated that they had not obtained any information regarding spiritual care. The point average of the student nurses related to SSCGS was found to be 3.27 ± 0.21 before training and 3.35 ± 0.22 after training. The difference between the total point averages of the student nurses pre- and posttraining was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05).As a result of the research, the perception of the student nurses regarding spirituality and spiritual support was found to be above the middle and increased significantly after the training. In accordance with these results, it is suggested that spiritual care training should be included more into nursing education.

Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin palyatif bakıma ilişkin bilgi düzeylerini saptamak ve bu konuda yapılan eğitimin etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, öğrencilere ön test/son test yapılarak yarı deneysel bir çalışma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini hemşirelik bölümünde palyatif bakım dersini alan 52 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri "Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu" ve "Palyatif Bakım Bilgi Testi" kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde yüzdelik hesaplama, ortalama ve Wilcoxon testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin palyatif bakım dersini almadan önce palyatif bakım bilgi testinden 20 puan üzerinden "10.1±1.6" puan aldıkları, dersin sonunda ise "15.2±1.6" puan aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin dersi almadan önce ve aldıktan sonrası puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Öğrencilere verilen palyatif bakım dersinin öğrencilerin bilgilerini olumlu yönde etkilediği ve bilgi düzeylerini yükselttiği belirlenmiştir. Palyatif bakım dersinin hemşirelik müfredat programlarına seçmeli ya da zorunlu ders olarak eklenmesi önerilmektedir.
