ABSTRACT
 Compassion is a value that takes place in the foundation of all major religions, moral and philosophical traditions, doctrines, humanistic approaches, as well as frequently appearing in the healthcare sector and at the core of nursing care. Nevertheless, it has not been adequately understood, fully explained, and has intertwined with similar values in terms of meaning. The concepts of compassion and care are perceived as parts of a whole, the care given without compassion is stated to have no value by the patient, and it is claimed that the care given without meeting emotional needs can also be replaced mechanically. The care given with compassion has many positive effects on the patient as well as many positive effects on compassionate individuals. Therefore, compassion is, above all, a matter of education. Although nursing education is known to have effects on providing compassionate care, it is said that the content of existing curriculum programs does not meet this need. In our education system, it will be beneficial to move away from stereotyped teaching styles, to center on social-emotional education rather than theoretical and practical education, and to create environments in which instructors can establish compassionate relationships and students can take them as role models.

Keywords: Compassion; nursing education; compassion taught
ÖZET
 Merhamet; tüm büyük dinlerin, ahlaki ve felsefi geleneklerin, öğretilerin, hümanistik yaklaşımın temelinde yer almasının yanı sıra sağlık hizmetleri sektörünün ve hemşirelik bakımının özünde de sıklıkla yer alan bir değerdir. Buna rağmen yeterince anlaşılamamış, tam anlamıyla açıklanamamış ve anlam açısından kendine yakın değerler ile iç içe girmiş durumdadır. Merhamet ve bakım kavramları bir bütünün parçaları olarak algılanmakta, merhametsiz verilen bakımın hasta tarafından bir değeri olmadığı belirtilmekte, duygusal ihtiyaçlar giderilmeden yapılan bakımın mekanik olarak da karşılanabileceği savunulmaktadır. Merhamet ile birlikte verilen bakımın hasta üzerinde birçok olumlu etkilerinin bulunmasının yanı sıra merhamet gösteren bireyler üzerinde de birçok olumlu etkisi olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu nedenle merhamet her şeyden önce bir eğitim konusudur. Hemşirelik eğitiminin merhametli bakım sağlama konusunda etkileri olduğu bilinse de var olan müfredat programlarının içeriğinin bu ihtiyacı karşılamadığı söylenmektedir. Eğitim sistemimizde kalıplaşmış öğretme stillerinden uzaklaşmak, teorik ve pratik eğitime odaklanmayarak sosyal-duygusal eğitime de bir o kadar yer vermek, öğreticilerin merhametli ilişkiler kurabildiği öğrencilerinde onları rol model alabileceği ortamlar oluşturmak merhamet kazandırma konusunda fayda sağlamaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Merhamet; hemşirelik eğitimi; merhamet öğretimi
