THE ATTITUDES OF MEDICAL STUDENTS TOWARD THE ELDERLY
Öz: Giriş: Sağlık çalışanları toplam nüfus içinde yaşlı popülasyon oranının giderek artmasından kaynaklanacak demografik değişikliklerin doğuracağı değişim ve gelişmelere hazırlıklı olmalıdır. Biz bu çalışmada Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Tip Fakültesi öğrencilerinin yaşlılığa karşı genel tutumlarının belirlenmesi ve tıp eğitimi sürecinde tutum konusunda sınışar arasındaki farklılıkları tespit etmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Ekim-Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Tip Fakültesinde okumakta olan 406 öğrenci üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Verilerin toplanmasında kullanılan anket formu üçbölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde öğrencilerinin sosyodemografik özellikleri sorulmuş, ikinci bölümde KOGAN Yaşlılara Karşı Tutum Ölçeği Türkçe formu ve üçüncü bölümde UCLA Geriatrik Tutum Ölçeği Türkçe formu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaşaralığı18-27 olup (ortalama yaş=21.04), %60.8'i kız, %91.4'ünün ise çekirdek aile yapısına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Sınışara göre UCLA toplam puanları değerlendirildiğinde 1. sınıf öğrencilerinin ortalama puanlarının diğer sınışara göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. UCLA'ya göre yaşlılara karşı tutumda kadınlarda erkeklere göre anlamlı pozitif tutum saptanmıştır. KOGAN da ise cinsiyet açısından yaşlılara yönelik tutumda herhangi anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmada öğrencilerin yaşlılara karşı tutumlarının sınıf ilerledikçe biraz daha olumsuz yönde değiştiği söylenebilir. Ayrıca kız öğrencilerin tutumlarının da daha olumlu olduğu görülmektedir. Normal bireylere nazaran görece incinebilir yapıda olan yaşlı popülasyonun sağlık personelinden beklentileri göz önüne alındığında, hekim sorumluluğunun da artmış olacağı öngörülmek durumundadır.

TIP FAKÜLTESİ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN YAŞLILARA KARŞI TUTUMLARI
Öz: Introduction: Health workers must be prepared for the changes and developments due tothe ever-increasing proportion of elderly individuals within the general population. This study aimed to identify the general attitudes of students of the Faculty of Medicine of Celal Bayar University (CBU) toward senility and evaluate differences in the attitudes of students at different stages of medical education. Materials and Method: This study was conducted between October and December 2014and included a total of 406 students attending the Faculty of Medicine of the CBU. A questionnaire form composed of three sections was used to collect data. Results: The age range of study participants was 18-27 years (average age, 21.04 years),60.8% were females, and 91.4% had a nuclear family structure. When assessing overall UCLAscores according to the stage of medical education, the average scores of first-year students were found to be higher than other year groups. The results of the UCLA questionnaire demonstrated significantly higher overall scores concerning attitudes toward older persons in female students compared with male students. No significant differences in KOGAN questionnaire scoresconcerning attitudes toward older people were observed between male and female students.Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicate that attitudes toward the elderly change negatively as students progress through medical education. In addition, female students hadmore positive attitudes toward elderly patients than male students. Considering the expectationsfrom the healthcare providers of the elderly population, who are more fragile compared to normal individuals, it should be envisaged that the responsibilities of physicians have increased.
