Bu bireyler, sağlığı korumada daha çekingen olup, sağlık hizmetlerinden çeşitli nedenlerden dolayı yararlanamamaktadırlar. Hemşireler, transseksüel bireylerin sağlığı ile ilgili eğitimlerde rol alarak, onlara hormon kullanımı, cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklardan korunma yolları, kanseri önlemede erken tanının önemi, sigara, alkol ve madde kullanımı gibi riskli davranışların önlenmesi, depresyondan korunma yolları konusunda farkındalık yaratmalıdır. Hemşireler tüm bakım sürecinde önyargıdan uzak olduğunu hissettirerek, bireyin yaşam kalitesinin yükselmesini sağlamaya yardımcı olmalıdır.

Yaşlı bireylerde birden çok kronik hastalık olması çoklu ilaç kullanımına neden olmakta bu durum, kognitif ve fonksiyonel kapasitenin azalmasıyla doğru ilacın alınması ve ilaca uyum sorununu beraberinde getirmektedir. Yapılan bazı çalışmalarda, evde yaşayan yaşlı bireylerin, hastane veya bakım evlerinde kalanlara göre ilaç uyumunun daha düşük olduğu, bazı ilaçlarını hiç almadıkları veya doz atladıkları bildirilmiştir. Sağlıklı/ hasta bireyi en iyi tanıyan ve ilacın etkilerini gözleyen sağlık ekibi üyesi olan hemşire özellikle yaşlılık döneminde önemli rol ve sorumluluklara sahiptir. Yaşlı bireyin bağımsızlığının desteklenmesi, holistik bakımın en önemli parçasıdır. Bu nedenle yaşlı bireylerin ilaç yönetiminde, bilimsel sorun çözme yöntemi olan hemşirelik süreci kullanılması oldukça önemlidir.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma bir Hemşirelik Yüksekokulu'nda eğitim gören 262 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirildi. Veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu ve öğrencilerin klinik deneyimlerine dayanarak hasta haklarının klinikte uygulanma durumlarını belirlemeye yönelik literatür ışığında hazırlanan bir anket formu kullanıldı. Elde edilen veriler yüzdelik olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hemşire öğrencilerin gözlemine göre, "insan hakları ve değerlerine saygı, bilgilendirilme, onam, mahremiyet ve özel yaşama saygı" konularında klinik uygulamalarda bazı eksiklikler olduğu saptandı. "Bakım ve tedavi alma hakkı"nın çoğunlukla uygulandığı, "başvuru hakkı"nın öğrenciler tarafından gözlemlenemediği belirlendi. Sonuç: Son yıllarda hasta haklarının korunmasına yönelik bir çok çalışma olmasına rağmen hala bazı eksiklikler söz konusudur. Bu eksiklikleri gidermek için sağlık ekibi üyeleri ile hasta ve ailelerinin hasta hakları konusunda bilgilendirilmesi aynı zamanda bütün sağlık ekibi üyelerinin hasta haklarının uygulamaya konması konusunda sorumluluklarının bilincinde olması gerekir.

Yaşlı bireylerde birden çok kronik hastalık olması çoklu ilaç kullanımına neden olmakta bu durum, kognitif ve fonksiyonel kapasitenin azalmasıyla doğru ilacın alınması ve ilaca uyum sorununu beraberinde getirmektedir. Yapılan bazı çalışmalarda, evde yaşayan yaşlı bireylerin, hastane veya bakım evlerinde kalanlara göre ilaç uyumunun daha düşük olduğu, bazı ilaçlarını hiç almadıkları veya doz atladıkları bildirilmiştir. Sağlıklı/ hasta bireyi en iyi tanıyan ve ilacın etkilerini gözleyen sağlık ekibi üyesi olan hemşire özellikle yaşlılık döneminde önemli rol ve sorumluluklara sahiptir. Yaşlı bireyin bağımsızlığının desteklenmesi, holistik bakımın en önemli parçasıdır. Bu nedenle yaşlı bireylerin ilaç yönetiminde, bilimsel sorun çözme yöntemi olan hemşirelik süreci kullanılması oldukça önemlidir.

Method: This methodological study was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, the language adaptation of the scale to Turkish was performed via back-translation. To evaluate content validity, the scale was reviewed by nursing faculty members who were experts in simulation education. The content validity index was calculated based on these experts' opinions. In the second stage, the reliability of the scale was evaluated. From June to November 2015, 120 nursing students who had previous experience with simulation volunteered to participate in the study. At this stage, test-retest reliability, Cronbach's alpha coeff icient and item-total correlations were evaluated. The construct validity of the scale was done using confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The content validity index of the Turkish version of the scale was appropriate (CVI= 0.87). After modification, it was found that the model was a good fit. Cronbach's Alpha coeff icient was 0.88. Removal of item 13 would have improved alpha to 0.90. test-retest intraclass correlation coeff icient was 0.50. Conclusion: The results of this study determined that the Turkish version of the "Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence in Learning Scale" was valid and reliable and could be used in nursing research and practice in Turkey.
