ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşire akademisyenlerin uzaktan eğitim sürecinde yaşadıkları sorunları ve psikolojik şiddete maruz kalma durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Nitel araştırma deseninde gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada, amaçlı örneklem yöntemi kullanıldı. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Türkiye'nin farklı üniversitelerinin hemşirelik bölümünde eğitim veren hemşire akademisyenler oluşturdu. Araştırma verileri, Ekim 2021-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplandı. Araştırmaya ait veriler, tümevarım yöntemi ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Araştırmada, hemşire akademisyenlerin yaş ortalamasının 38,53±7,92 yıl, akademisyen olarak toplam çalışma süresinin 10,4±2,03 yıl olduğu ve uzaktan eğitim sürecinde haftada ortalama 13,08±5,04 saat çevrim içi ders verdikleri belirlendi. Araştırma verilerine göre uzaktan eğitim sürecinde yaşanan sorunlar, maruz kalınan psikolojik şiddet ve yaşanan sorunlarla baş etme biçimi olmak üzere 3 ana tema belirlendi. Uzaktan eğitim sürecinde yaşanan sorunların öğrenci, eğitim yöntemi, araç-gereç ve ölçme-değerlendirme süreci, çalışma ortamı ve süresi kaynaklı sorunlar olduğu ifade edildi. Maruz kalınan psikolojik şiddetin; öğrencinin uyguladığı, yöneticilerin uyguladığı ve kişinin kendisi kaynaklı yaşanan psikolojik şiddet olduğu belirlendi. Hemşire akademisyenlerin psikolojik şiddet ile baş etme biçimi olarak ise olumlu baş etme ve baş edememe alt temaları belirlendi. Sonuç: Uzaktan eğitim sürecinde hemşire akademisyenlerin öğrenci, eğitim yöntemi, araç-gereç ve ölçme-değerlendirme süreci, çalışma ortamı ve süresi kaynaklı sorunlar yaşadıkları saptandı. Bu sorunlardan dolayı hemşire akademisyenlerin öğrencilerden, yöneticilerden ve kendisinden kaynaklı psikolojik şiddet yaşadıkları belirlendi. Hemşirelik eğitiminde teorik ve uygulamanın bir bütün olarak verilmesi ve öğrencinin hastaya dokunarak, bakım yaparak hemşirelik mesleğini öğrenmesi gerekliliği sonucuna varıldı. Bu doğrultuda, uzaktan eğitimin hemşirelik eğitimi uygulama kısmı için uygun olmadığı ve bu durumun hemşire akademisyenlerde endişe yarattığı sonucuna varıldı.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study was conducted to determine the problems experienced by nurse academicians during the distance education process and their exposure to psychological violence. Material and Methods: Purposive sampling method was used in this study, which was carried out using a qualitative research design. The study group in this research consisted of nurse academicians teaching in the nursing lisence program of universities in various regions of Türkiye. Research data were collected with a semi-structured interview form between October 2021 and December 2021. The data of the research were analyzed by inductive method. Results: In the study, it was determined that the average age of the nurse academicians was 38.53±7.92 years, the total working time as an academician was 10.4±2.03 years, and they gave an average of 13.08±5.04 hours of online lessons per week during the distance education process. According to the research data 3 main themes were determined; the problems experienced in the distance education process, the psychological violence experienced, and coping ways. It was stated that the problems experienced in the distance education process are the problems caused by the student, the education method, the tools-equipment and the measurement-evaluation process, the working environment and the duration. Exposure to psychological violence; it was determined that it was the psychological pressure applied by the student, applied by the administrators and experienced by the person himself. The sub-themes of positive coping and inability to cope were determined as the way of coping with psychological violence by nurse academicians. Conclusion: During the distance education process, it was determined that the nurse academicians had problems related to the students, the education method, the tools-equipment and the measurement-evaluation process, the working environment and the duration. It has been concluded that distance education is not suitable for the practice part of nursing education due to reasons such as the theory and practice are given as a whole in nursing education and the student needs to learn the nursing profession by touching and caring for the patient, and this situation causes concern among nurse academicians.
