Objective: It was aimed to get the experience and opinions of intensive care physicians, who are health professionals who experience violence with increasing frequency. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire, consisting of 28 multiple choice and open-ended questions, was answered by intensivists across the country. Results: In the online questionnaire study, which was answered by 198 physicians, 44% male and 56% female, it was found that 86% of the physicians experienced violence in the hospital where they worked, and 47% were exposed to violence during their work in the intensive care unit. It was observed that the most common violence was verbal threats with and physical violence. Victims of violence stated that they mostly prefer to call hospital security (56%). It was determined that 65% of the violent incidents experienced were resolved by talking. The common view of the victims of violence and of the vast majority of all physicians was that the measures were insufficient and the violence would recur. Conclusion: Violence in health is increasing all over the world and in Turkey. The precautions to be taken should be aimed at the patients and their relatives, as well as the health workers and the health system itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research was conducted to evaluate the relationship between individuals' trust in physicians and outpatient satisfaction. In this study conducted on 400 adults living in the center of Kahramanmaraş, easy sampling method was used and the data obtained were analyzed with the SPSS package program. "Physician Trust Scale" and "Outpatient Patient Satisfaction Scale" were used in the research. The "Trust in Physician Scale" has no factor and the Cronbach Alpha value of the scale is 0.827. "Outpatient Satisfaction Scale" appointment size (5), efficient examination (13), staff attitude (3), general satisfaction (5), waiting time and counseling (3). The Cronbach Alpha value of the scale is 0.891. To evaluate the data of the study, reliability analysis, t-test in independent groups, one-way analysis of variance in independent groups, and correlation and regression analysis were performed. A significant difference was detected between demographic variables and the averages of trust in physicians and outpatient satisfaction (p< 0.05). A significant relationship was detected between the sub-dimensions of the outpatient satisfaction scale and trust in physicians (p<0.05). Individuals being married, being older, and having a low level of education also reduce their trust in physicians and patient satisfaction. Patients who thought their monthly income was low had lower patient satisfaction. As individuals' trust in physicians increases, patient satisfaction also increases. Effective examination and the positive attitude of the staff towards the patient positively affects the trust in the physician. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the effect of physician ownership status of individuals on disease management was examined. The population of the study consists of adult individuals residing in the centre of Kahramanmaraş. Questionnaire method was used as the data collection technique of the research. Using convenience sampling method, 410 people were reached. Physician Ownership Scale (PHS) and Disease Management Scale (DMS) were used for the data collection tools of the research. The research data were first checked in excel programme and then analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) and AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) package programmes. Cronbach Alpha values were given to analyse the reliability of the scales. The Cronbach Alpha values of the scales are 0.935 and 0.855. respectively. As a result of the analysis, the scales were found to be reliable and suitable for normal distribution. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to check whether the scales were appropriate for this sample. After the CFA analysis, PATH analysis showing the effect of physician ownership on disease management was conducted. Of those included in the study, 55.9 per cent were female and 57.6 per cent were married. 92% of the participants are 54 years old and below and 66.1% of them are high school graduates. Of those included in the study, 52.9% were not working and 39.8% had been struggling with the disease for one year. These values show that the scales are between good fit and acceptable values. As a result of the study, physician ownership positively affects disease management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is seen that the understanding of the social state and health in Turkey has gradually given way to neoliberal dynamics in parallel with the developments in the world in the last fifty years. The health field has been reorganized with the Health Transformation Program since 2002. In this study, it is aimed to examine the physician strikes and actions at the beginning of 2022. One of the qualitative research methods, Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used. It is seen that they started their physician actions with the withdrawal of the legal regulation that caused the personal rights to be discussed in public from the General Assembly of the Parliament. It is commonly stated by spokespersons that the strikes are discontents caused by working conditions and spiritual reasons rather than financial reasons. As a result, the weight of working conditions created by health policies and violence come to the fore in discourses. Security and violence account for 17.4% of all coding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Changes in the provision of health services brought about new health policies globally in 1970. One of them, health communication, is a new application that is closely related to the development levels of countries and helps to protect social and individual health. The concept of health communication has often been studied from the point of view of patients in early communication research. However the concept basically covers all health workers, as well as patients and patient relatives. This research was built with a focus group study from qualitative research methods to determine the communication levels and communication patterns of physicians in order to cover the deficiency found in the field. at the end of the research conducted with 10 physicians, it was found that doctors communicate in the "physician-patient" category. In another finding of the study, it was understood that physicians use 6 different models other than the rhetorical model from the health communication models according to the socio-economic and psychological characteristics of the patient. At the end of the research, it was proposed to extend the examination periods, reduce the number of patients being cared for daily and develop health communication policies in order for physicians to establish a better-quality health communication with their patients.

Objective: This research aims to reveal the mental fatigue experiences of resident physicians while practicing their profession. Material and Method: The study was earned out with the phenomenology design, which is considered within the scope of qualitative research. Participants were reached using the homogeneous sampling technique, which is one of the purposive sampling techniques. In this context, in-depth interviews were conducted using semi-structured forms with 10 resident physicians continuing their residency training in Turkey. The data obtained by transcribing the interviews were subjected to interpretive phenomenological analysis. The data obtained were coded and gathered under themes to make the phenomenon of mental fatigue meaningful. Results: In this study, which examines the mental fatigue experienced by assistant physicians while performing their profession as a whole, it has been determined that the causes of mental fatigue are related to working life, academic life, professional life, psychological, systemic and physiological reasons. At the same time, it has been determined that the mental fatigue experienced by assistant physicians causes some individual consequences such as stress, anxiety, focusing problems, and burnout, and some social consequences such as social adaptation problems, negative effects on the patient, and difficulty in the diagnosis process. Conclusion: This study, which reveals the causes and consequences of mental fatigue experienced by resident physicians, has concluded that this situation not only has individual consequences on the physician but also causes some social consequences such as difficulty in the diagnosis process, social adaptation problem and the negative effects of this situation on the patients. To minimize this effect, it is recommended to clarify the job description of resident physicians, reduce the patient burden by shortening long working hours, and make necessary legal and systemic regulations on the subject.

İslam uygarlığının özelliklerini yansıtan kurumlardan biri de hastanelerdir. Tarihi süreç içinde “bîmâristan dâruşşifa, şifâhâne” gibi farklı isimlerle adlandırılan bu kurumlar, ait oldukları toplumların gelişmişlik seviyelerini ve canlıya verdikleri değeri de gösterirler. İslam uygarlığının en parlak döneminde Bağdat’da kurulan ve sonrakilere örnek olan Adudî hastanesi sözünü ettiğimiz özellikleri yansıtması açısından önemli bir örnektir. Bu kurumun tanıtılması için alanın uzmanlarından Ahmet GÜNER tarafından telif edilen “Biyografilerle Adudî Hastahanesi Tarihi” adlı eser; hem bu kurumun tanıtılmasını hem de dönemiyle ilgili gelişmişlik seviyesini göstermesi açısından önem arz etmektedir. Eserin değerlendirilmesini yönelik olmak üzere; İslam uygarlığı kurumları içinde hastanelerin yeri, eseri telif eden müellifin konuyla ilgili vukûfiyeti, ilgili dönemde kurulan sağlık kurumlarının tanıtılması için çalışmanın önemi gibi konular üzerinde durulmuştur.

Tarihin bilinen en eski çağlarından beri musiki var olduğu gibi insanların tedavilerinde ve içsel sıkıntılarının giderilmesinde rol oynamıştır. Bu hususu, Eski Yunan’dan Hindistan’a, Çin’den Orta Asya’ya kadar geniş bir coğrafyada açıkça görmemiz mümkündür. İlk çağ filozofu Eflâtun, ruhu terbiye eden biricik vasıta olarak görürken, Yunan mitolojisinde güzel lir çalmasıyla bilinen Apollon, bu aleti en güzel şekilde icra ederek insanların sıkıntılarını gidermiştir. Çinli düşünür Konfüçyüs, müziğin insan hayatında yapabileceği olumlu değişikliklere işaret ederken Türkistanlı Fârâbî, farklı akortlar ve ritimlerle insanların ruh hallerinin bir anda değişebileceğini ortaya koymuştur. Türkistan ve Maverâünnehir’de genellikle kadınların üstlendiği ruh çağırma etkinliği, hastaların tedavisinde aktif olarak kullanılmış, bu şifacı kadınlar, ruh çağırarak, el çırparak ve başka garip hareketlerle hastaları tedavi etmişlerdir. Orta Çağ’ın hekimleri ise Bağdat, Dımaşk, Kahire gibi şehirlerinde hem hekimlik yapmış hem de ut çalıp ney üfleyerek hastaları tedavi etmişlerdir. Bu husus Haçlı seferlerinin merkezinde yer alan Dımaşk’taki Nûreddin Zengî’nin açtığı büyük hastanede fazlasıyla gerçekleşmiştir. Burada görev yapan hekimler, akıl hastalıklarının tedavisinde musikiden etkin olarak faydalanmışlardır. Bu isimler arasında Endülüs’ten bölgeye hicret eden Ebü’l-Hakem el-Bâhilî ve onun oğlu Ebü’l-Mecd Efzalüddin gibi önemli hekimleri sayabiliriz. Hekimlikleri yanında filozoflukları ile de bilinen Batılıların “Avicenna” dedikleri İbn Sînâ, Fârâbî, Râzî, Kindî gibi öncüler de musikinin hastaların tedavisinde oynadığı yapıcı role işaret etmişlerdir. Reyli hekim ve filozof Ebû Bekir er-Râzî melankolik hastaların çeşitli faaliyetlerle meşgul edilerek tedavi edilmeleri gerektiğini savunmuş ve onların avlanma, balık tutma gibi meşgaleler yanında musiki ile de tedavi edilmelerini öğütlemiştir. İlk İslâm filozoflarından Yakub el-Kindî ise müzik ile insan sağlığı arasında sıkı bir bağ olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. el-Kindî, müzik ve nefes ilişkisini gündeme taşıyarak, musikinin insan sağlığına olan olumlu katkısına dikkat çekmiştir. Bu çalışmalar ise daha sonra Anadolu Selçukluları ve Osmanlılar dönemindeki modern dâruşşifâlara ilham kaynağı olmuştur.

Medical doctors have a high level of source credibility and a reputable profession. Some of them also share their expertise on social media. This led to so some doctors gaining thousands and millions of followers and becoming “influencer doctors”. Every bit of information that a medical doctor share is important for the followers. Influencers are content creators with a large social media following, and this makes them appealing for brands. Collaborations with brands are common for influencers. When it comes to influencer doctors, who have more credibility due to their profession, it can be said that they have an advantage over ordinary influencers, a power to drive their followers’ decisions. However, it is prohibited by law and regulations for medical doctors to advertise in any medium. Thus, in this study it was aimed to reveal medical doctors’ compliance with Turkish Medical Association’s rules on social media. A content analysis on 13 medical doctors’ Instagram stories was conducted. Each doctor has more than 500.000 followers and they shared a total of 565 stories. According to the findings, product promotions are most common content for the stories of these influencer doctors. They also share stories that showcase or promote their services; that contain patient information in which more than half are privacy breaches; and none included a disclosure on patient permission to reveal such information.

Introduction One of the main factors in the widespread use of the internet all over the world is undoubtedly smartphones With smartphones, which are also widely used among healthcare professionals, instant communication programs have gained an important place in clinical practice, especially among doctors. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of the internet, social networks, and social media usage among physicians using smartphones and the professional use of these platforms among physicians. Materials and Methods The questionnaire method, one of the interview techniques, was used for this descriptive and cross-sectional study. The questionnaire form used in the study was prepared by the researchers and consisted of five parts in total. (1) sociodemographic characteristics, (2) internet usage purposes, (3) mobile application usage purposes, (4) instant messaging applications usage purposes, and (5) social media applications usage purposes were questioned. In the analysis of the obtained data; descriptive statistics were presented with mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage values. Pearson chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables. The statistical significance level was accepted as p≤0.05. Results Doctors from forty different specialties, all research assistants (assistant doctors); A total of 203 people were included in the study. All of the participants were using smartphones. The mean age was 28.77±3.3 years. 56.2% of the participants were male. 52.7% (n=107) of the participants had a medical experience of at most 3 years. The rate of using the internet to read articles was significantly lower in those with 3 years or less of experience in the medical profession than those with 4 years or more of medical experience (p

Bu çalışma, hekimin sorumluluğunu gayret sarf etme borcu özelinde hastaya karşı gerekli özeni gösterme açısından ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Gayret sarf etme borcu kusurdan berî olmanın ve hukuka uygunluğun ana sebeplerinden birini teşkil etmektedir. Bu sayede kurulan bir akitle neticenin gerçekleşmesi değil, neticenin gerçekleşmesi adına hekimin gereken özeni göstermesi beklenmektedir. Bunun Türk pozitif hukuk sistemi ve İslâm hukuku açısından tezahürü aslen benzerlik gösterse de hekimin kusurlu eyleminin icrası hususunda bazı farklar gündeme gelmektedir. Bunlar kişinin ruhen ve bedenen iyi olmasına yönelik yapılan her türlü müdahale esnasında hekimin kasıt veya ihmale dayalı hareketinden meydana gelmektedir. Kişiye verilen bu ehemmiyet tıp ile hukuku etkileşimli hale getirmektedir. Bu nazarla bakıldığında hukuk, yaşayan toplumun hakikatini oluşturmaktadır ve hukukun gelişim serüveni yaşanan gelişmelere paralellik arz etmektedir. Bu, esasında hukukun dinamizmini de sağlayan şeydir. Nitekim hukuk kendi sistematiği içerisinde müspet gelişmeleri karşılamaya açıktır. Hukukun bu etkileşimli yapısının benzeri kökleri eskilere dayanan tıp ilminde de kendini göstermektedir. Hukuk sisteminin kendi içerisinde gelişim yaşaması gibi tıp da bir bilim dalı olarak kendi içerisinde gelişim ve ilerleme göstermiştir. Buna mukabil tıp bir bilim dalı olarak sistematik bir yapıya bürünmeden önce geleneksel ve ilkel tıbbi yöntemler halinde iken; günümüzde gelişen teknolojik imkânlarla birlikte çeşitliliğini artırarak farklı problemlere cevap verebilecek seviyeye ulaşmıştır. Örneğin tüp bebek, organ ve doku nakli, doğum kontrol yöntemleri, genetik kopyalama, ötanazi gibi yöntemler tıp alanında yaşanan gelişmelerden sadece birkaçıdır. Tıbbın geçirdiği bu dönüşüm sürecinde yaşanan gelişmeler ekseriyetle hukukun da konusu olmuştur. Hukuk ve tıp alanındaki bu etkileşimli yapı hukuk doktrininin sağlık sistemine verdiği ehemmiyetin bir göstergesidir. Her iki hukuk sistemi açısından bu etkileşimli durum yeni gelişmelerle birlikte yeni sorunlar ve yeni cevap arayışlarını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu arayışların birisini de hekimin mesuliyeti meselesi oluşturmaktadır. Tıbbi müdahalede bulunan hekimin hangi durumlarda sorumlu olacağı, sorumluluğun sınırını belirleyen kıstasın hangi esas üzerine bina edileceği meselesi gerek Türk pozitif hukuk sisteminde gerekse İslâm hukuku açısından ele alınmış; mesele her iki hukuk sisteminde güncel gelişmelere paralel olarak hukukî düzenlemelere konu edilmiştir. Bu noktada çalışmanın temel hedefi her iki hukuk sisteminde hekimin mesuliyeti açısından temel sorumluluk alanlarının tespit edilmesi ve buna mukabil meydana gelen zararın hangi durumlarda ortaya çıktığının belirlenmesi olmuştur. Nitekim zararın meydana gelmesinin önüne geçilmesi, genel hukuk sistematiği açısından ve insan ile toplum ilişkileri nazarında kuşkusuz sosyal düzenin bir gereğidir. Diğer yandan her iki hukuk sisteminin temel gayesinin nizâmu’l beşer olduğu düşünüldüğünde iki bilim dalı arasında gaye ortaklığının bulunduğu da kolaylıkla ifade edilebilir. Ancak gerek Türk pozitif hukuk sisteminin gerekse İslâm hukukunun kullandığı yöntemlerin ve her iki hukuk sisteminin oluşum evrelerinin farklı olması gayeyi temin noktasında da bazı farklılıkların olabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu farklılıklar hekimin mesuliyeti meselesinde de karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bununla birlikte hekimin mesuliyeti noktasında her iki hukuk sisteminin benimsediği ortak sorumluluk ilkelerinin olması sistematik açıdan tabiîdir. Çalışmamızın konusunu teşkil eden hekimin mesuliyetinin genel özen yükümlülüğü altında gayret sarf etme borcu minvalinde ele alınması da bu sorumluluk ilkelerinden birini teşkil etmektedir. Bu şekildeki yükümlülük hekimi akdî sorumluluk altına sokmakta ve bunun neticesi olarak hekimden hukuka uygunluk şartlarına riayet etmesi beklenmektedir. Çalışmamızda da bu durum her iki hukuk sistemiyle karşılaştırmalı olarak örneklerle ele alınacak; bu sayede konuya açıklık getirmeye çalışılacaktır.

The aim of this study is to identify the problems that physicians face with tourists in the context of medical tourism. In order to identify the problems, a qualitative research method was chosen. The research was carried out with physicians who serve health tourists in Istanbul and also own clinics or polyclinics. The reason why Istanbul was chosen is that it is one of the most preferred cities by health tourists. A structured interview form was used as a data collection tool. The data obtained from the face-to-face interviews with the physicians were subjected to descriptive analysis. It was found that the physicians and health tourists experience problems caused by the excessive number of companions, communication with patients and their relatives, delays in appointments, and cultural differences.

Background: The number of physicians sued for malpractice is increasing, and this situation causes a fear of malpractice in physicians. The aim of this study is to determine the malpractice fear and the level of job satisfaction among emergency physicians and to examine the relationship between these factors. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study has been conducted with emergency physicians at four different training and research hospitals in Ankara, Türkiye. Malpractice fear and job satisfaction have been evaluated with Malpractice Fear Scale (MFS) and Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS). Questionnaire method was used in the study. Results: The research has been completed with 143 physicians [mean age: 33.10±7.0 years, age range: 24-51 years, male: 107 (74.8%)]. It was found that 19.5% of the participants were reported for malpractice, 11.8% were sued, and no one was penalized. It has been determined that the participants scored 3.6±0.9 points on the MFS and 2.4±0.7 points on the JSS in 1-5 point range. A negative, moderate, and statistically significant correlation has been found between the MFS and the JSS (r= -0.551; p<0.01). Conclusions: In our study, it has been found that emergency physicians have a high level of malpractice fear and a low level of job satisfaction. There is no statistically significant difference in the level of malpractice fear and job satisfaction according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. Increased fear of malpractice decreases the job satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bomoi, which were used as statue bases, tombs or votive stones in the Roman Period, were produced in different sizes or forms. With the addition of various decorative elements, it has assumed a character in accordance with its function. The bomos of Agathopodos, which constitutes our study subject, is a rectangular burial bomos with inscriptions on the front face of which the belongings of the deceased are depicted. Today, the ancient city of Aizanoi is located in the Mosaic Bath. When the information we obtained about the deceased, his family and profession, based on the inscription, is considered together with the ornaments on the bomos, the social and economic position of Arkhiatros Agathopodos in the city of Aizanoi, where he lived at the end of the 2nd century AD, became clear. Accordingly, although it is unclear whether the sons who had the tombstone built continued the profession of medicine, it is also possible to obtain information about his wife’s social position from the figures on the bomos, which were also built for his wife Ammia. When the medical instruments, medicine box, probe and scissors on the bomos are examined, it is concluded that Arkhiatros Agathopodos applied drug treatment methods and was experienced in surgical procedures.

There is a statistically significant relationship between the duration of professional experience, the institution where the employee is working and treatment management preferences. Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic process, physicians preferred to follow the MHCOMSG in treatment and patient management. It is important for health-care professionals to follow new developments closely and to make updates on COVID-19 published online by official government health officials in terms of health workers’ preferences in accessing information.

Aim: Breaking bad news (BBN), which is defined as the delivering new medical information that negatively affects the patient's life, is an important and difficult communication skill that physicians should improve skills. This study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about BBN of resident physicians in a university hospital. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a university hospital between 01.03.2022 and 01.04.2022. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of 35 questions. Behaviors related to BBN communication were evaluated on a 5-point Likert-type scale as never, rarely, sometimes, often, always. Results: The mean age of the 117 physicians participating in the study was 28.7±2.41 (min:24-max:38), 52.1% of them were male. 47.9% of the participants were married and 71.8% were working in internal medicine. It was found that 64.1% of the physicians had given bad news in the last 6 months. The BBN (78.8%) of physicians working in surgical departments was significantly higher than those working in internal departments (58.3%) (p=0.038). The rate of those who did not receive training on BBN was 85.5%, and the rate of those who wanted to receive training on BBN was 76.9%. The rate of those who heard about SPIKES and BREAKS protocols for BBN was 5.1%. Getting patient's consent before BBN, not giving clear information to the patient about the prognosis of his disease and conveying the bad news only to the relatives of the patient were found to be behaviors that were usually/always done in 31.6%, 26.5% and 23.1% respectively. Usually/always empathizing during BBN communication was found to be significantly higher in physicians working in internal medicine (70.2%) than physicians working in surgical departments (45.5%) (p=0.012). Conclusion: In conclusion, in our study, it was found that most of the physicians related to BBN did not receive training and were inadequate in some behaviors related to BBN communication. All physicians should be provided with training on BBN during their medical school education and after graduation, so that all physicians' communication skills should be improved and bad news should be conveyed appropriately.

The aim is to reveal the effect of physicians' personality traits, attitudes towards Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and perceived barriers to use of CPGs on the use of CPGs. The data were obtained by a survey questionnaire from physicians working in a public hospital. The validity and reliability of scales was evaluated with factor analyzes and reliability coefficients. The relationships between independent variables that are physicians' personality traits, attitudes towards CPGs and perceived barriers to use of CPGs and dependent variables that is use of CPGs in practices were examined by correlation analysis. The effects of independent variables on the dependent variable were evaluated by regression analysis. Data collection tools used in the study were determined to be valid and reliable. It was determined that openness to experience and extroversion dimensions and positive attitude towards CPGs significantly affect the use of CPGs. It was also determined that the negative attitude towards CPGs and individual barriers to CPGs use had a significant and negative effect. It is evaluated that it may be beneficial to improve the physicians' positive personality traits, to increase their positive attitudes towards CPGs, to turn negative attitudes into positive and to make the necessary arrangements to eliminate the barriers to increase the use of the CPGs.

Aim: To investigate the knowledge and awareness of physicians working in tertiary healthcare institutions concerning stroke and treatment approaches for ischemic stroke. Material and Method: Fifty-nine physicians with a mean age of 35.4 years were included in the study. A survey consisting of 12 questions taking less than 5 minutes to complete was delivered to the specialist and research assistant physicians who were actively employed in Adıyaman University Faculty of Medicine Training and Research Hospital and signed the voluntary informed consent form. Results: Of the physicians participating in the study, 66.1% (n=39) were working as specialists and 33.9% (n=20) as research assistant physicians. More than half the physicians (57.6%, n=34) had not previously attended an informative meeting on stroke. The average rate of correct answers given to all survey questions was 37.8%. The research assistant physicians correctly answered the questions concerning the first intervention in a stroke patient, prevalence of stroke, and thrombolytic treatment agent at a higher rate than the specialist physicians. The physicians who had previously attended an informative meeting on stroke provided more correct answers to the questions on stroke preventability and thrombolytic treatment agent. Conclusion: Undoubtedly, since time is one of the most important factors affecting mortality and morbidity in case of an ischemic stroke, it is vital that both society and healthcare professionals become aware of this health condition. We believe that the awareness of all physicians concerning stroke and its treatment should be increased through effective training and informative meetings

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı tıp fakültesinde okuyan öğrencilerin son zamanlarda giderek artan hekime yönelik şiddet (HYŞ) olaylarını nasıl algıladıklarını ve hissettiklerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışma Meram Tıp Fakültesi’nde HYŞ ile ilgili bir toplantıya katılan öğrenci ve araştırma görevlileri ile yapılmıştır. Gönüllü olarak çalışmaya katılanlara araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan kısa sosyodemografik bilgi formu, Şiddete Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği (ŞYTÖ) ve Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği (BUÖ) uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Toplantıda bulunup anketi tam olarak dolduran 109 katılımcının yaş ortalaması 22,8±2,9 yıl (18-31) olup %33’ü 3. Sınıf ve %29,4’ü 6. sınıf öğrencisiydi. Hastanede çalıştıkları birimlerde veya hasta yakını iken HYŞ’e şahit olma sıklığı %74,3olarak bulundu. Çok az sayıda katılımcı şiddete uğradığını ifade etti. Çalışmaya katılan araştırma görevlilerinin yarısından fazlası, 6. sınıf öğrencilerinin yaklaşık yarısı HYŞ olayına şahit olurken, ilk 3 sınıf öğrencilerinde bu oran daha düşüktü (p=0,001). HYŞ’e şahit olan öğrencilerin %43 kadarı şiddet uygulayana karşı öfke hissettiğini ve yine aynı oranda olaydan dolayı korktuğunu ve %40 kadarı ise olay karşısında endişe duyduğunu belirtmişti. Kadın cinsiyette olanlar daha çok korku ve şiddeti kınama hissi, erkek cinsiyette olanlar ise endişe duymaktaydı. Katılımcıların %44’ü şiddetin sebebini halkın eğitimsiz olması, yaklaşık yarısı ise doktor ve hastaların karşısındakine yönelik empati eksikliği olarak belirtmişti. ŞYTÖ’den alınan puan ortalaması 18,63±6,0 puan (10-35) ve BUÖ’den alınan puan ortalaması 8,10±2,9 puan (3-17) bulundu. Şiddete şahit olanlarda ŞYTÖ puanı ve BUÖ puanı anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p=0,001). Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları şiddete şahit olan tıp fakültesi öğrencileri ve araştırma görevlilerinin şiddete yönelimlerinin arttığını ve onları gelecekten umutsuz hale getirdiğini göstermektedir. Sağlıkta şiddeti önlemeye yönelik yasal tedbirlerin, öğrencilere etkili iletişim yöntemleri eğitiminin ve çalıştıkları ortamlarda kendilerini güvende hissetmelerinin toplum sağlığı ve tıp mesleğinin geleceği açısından önemi bir kez daha ortaya konmuştur kanaatindeyiz.
