Amaç
Bu araştırma, ebelik öğrencilerinin problem çözme becerileri ile duygusal zeka ve merhamet düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem
Araştırmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın örneklemini, Haziran-Ağustos 2022 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’de tüm ebelik bölümlerinde öğrenim gören 712 ebelik öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Problem Çözme Envanteri (PÇE), Gözden Geçirilmiş Schutte Duygusal Zeka Ölçeği (DZÖ) ve Merhamet Ölçeği (MÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel değerlendirmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Pearson korelasyon testi ve çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular
Öğrencilerin PÇE toplam ile DZÖ toplam ve MÖ toplam puan ortalamaları arasında negatif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı orta düzeyde bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Ayrıca öğrencilerin DZÖ toplam ile MÖ toplam puan ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı orta düzeyde bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,001).
Sonuç
Öğrencilerin duygusal zeka düzeyleri ile merhamet düzeyleri arttıkça problem çözme becerilerinin arttığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin duygusal zeka düzeyleri arttıkça merhamet düzeyleri de artmaktadır.
