“…Of course, the perceived level of difficulties varies individually, but what was common to the graduates in this research was that their mentioned conflicts in peer relationships and concern of their own failure. Some graduates had traveled their study paths longing for peer support and sense of solidarity (cf., Green et al, 2001;Hodges et al, 1999), while some others preferred independent work. How hard or depressing the lack of peer support was perceived depended on whether it was a voluntary choice or not (see also Vaarala, Uusiautti, & Määttä, 2013).…”

The purpose of this study is to discuss the smoothness of the study paths by describing Finnish general upper secondary education graduates' study paths: What factors have promoted and supported straight-A graduates' study paths? What kind of difficulties have straight-A graduates' faced in their study paths? This was a narrative study conducted in 2012 by collecting straight-A graduates' writings (N=14). The data were analyzed with narrative analyzing methods. The results showed the multidimensional nature of study paths: there is not just one way of reaching the same outcome. When it came the smoothness of study paths, it appeared that also the success-oriented students need support and guidance with their choices, goals, and strengths.

“…Kahriman (3) ve Okanlı (5) tarafın-dan yapılan araştırmalarda; hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinin yaş grupları ile algıladıkları sosyal destek düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı saptanmıştır. Literatürde, sosyal destek ile yaş arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen araştırmalarda çoğunlukla yaş dağılımı daha geniş olarak görülmektedir (26,27). Bizim çalışmamızda, bu değişkenin anlamlı bulunmaması örnekleme dahil edilen öğren-cilerin yaşlarının çok yakın olmasından kaynaklanabilir şeklinde yorumlandı.…”

ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinde sosyal destek ile boyun eğici davranışlar arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Yöntemler: Araştırma, tanımlayıcı nitelikte olup, çalışmanın örneklemini Türkiye'de bir kamu üniversitesinde 2014-2015 akademik yılı içinde hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören 520 öğrenci oluşturdu. Araştırma verileri, "Öğrenci Tanıtım Formu", "Boyun Eğici Davranış Ölçeği (BEDÖ)" ve "Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği (ÇBASDÖ)" kullanılarak toplandı. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilme-sinde; frekans, yüzde, aritmetik ortalama, Student t testi, Pearson korelasyon analizi ve Tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya dahil olan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 22,04±1,31 yıl olup, %67,7'sinin kız, %43,8'inin birinci sınıfta öğrenim gördüğü, %83,7'sinin ise ekonomik desteğe ihtiyacı olduğu belirlendi. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin ÇBASDÖ toplam puan ortalaması 64,65±14,52 iken, BEDÖ toplam puan ortalaması 36,15±9,63 olarak bulundu. Araştırmadaki kız öğrencilerin ÇBASDÖ toplam puan ortalamaları, erkek öğrencilerin puan ortalamalarından (p<0,05); erkek öğrencilerin BEDÖ puan ortalamaları ise kız öğrencilerin puan ortalamalarından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Öğrencilerin BEDÖ puan ortalamaları ile ÇBASDÖ toplam puanı arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu saptandı (p<0,05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak; hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitim yaşantıları boyunca aile ve arkadaş desteklerinin önemli olduğu ve bu desteklerin boyun eğici davranışları etkilediği görüldü. Anahtar kelimeler: Hemşirelik öğrencileri, çok boyutlu algılanan sosyal destek, boyun eğici davranışlar ABSTRACT Objective: This descriptive study aimed to investigate the association between social support and submissive behavior in nursing students.

Data collection was achieved using demographics, the Submissive Behaviour Scale (SBS), and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (MDPSSS). For evaluating research data, frequency, percentages, means and standard deviations, Student's t-test, One way variance analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis were used. Results: The mean age of the participating students was 22.04±1.31 years, 67.7% were females, 43.8% were in their first year of study, and 83.7% required economic support. The total mean MDPSSS score of the students was 64.65±14.52, and the total mean SBS score was 36.15±9.63. The total mean MDPSSS scores of female students were significantly higher than those of male students (p<0.05); however, the mean SBS scores of male students were significantly higher than those of female students (p<0.05). A significant negative correlation was established between the students' mean SBS scores and total MDPSSS scores (p<0.05). Conclusion:In conclusion, the support of family and friends is important throughout the education of student nurses and that the support ...
