Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu Öğrencilerinin Paraziter Hastalıklar Hakkındaki Bilgi Düzeyleri

Bu çalışmada, geleceğin sağlık personeli olarak hizmet verecek olan Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin paraziter hastalıklar, bu hastalıklardan korunma ve kontrol önlemleri hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulunda okuyan 418’i (%71.2) kız, 169’u (%28.8) erkek, toplam 587 öğrenci çalışamaya dâhil edildi. Anketteki sorular, paraziter hastalıklar, bu hastalıkların bulaş yolları, koruma ve tedavi hakkında olmak üzere üç grup olarak ayarlandı. Anket sorularının güvenirlik (reliability) analizi kapsamında Cronbach’s Alpha katsayıları hesaplandı. “Paraziter Hastalıklara İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyi”, “Paraziter Hastalıkların Bulaş Yollarına İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyi” ve “Paraziter Hastalıklardan Korunma ve Tedaviye İlişkin Bilgi Düzeyi” sorularına ait Cronbach’s Alpha değerleri sırasıyla 0.647 (%64.7), 0.707 (%70.7), 0.566 (%56.6) olarak saptandı. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen bölümler arasında, paraziter hastalıklara ilişkin bilgi düzeyi yönünden, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulundu (p<0.05). Paraziter hastalıklardan korunma ve tedaviye ilişkin bilgi düzeyi ile öğrencilerin kişisel özellikleri arasında yapılan değerlendirmede bölümler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç olarak çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin, paraziter hastalıklar hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadıkları gözlemlendi.

HEALTH SERVICES VOCATIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE LEVELS OF ON PARASITIC DISEASES

In this study, it has been aimed to determine the knowledge level of the students of Van Yuzuncu Yıl University Health Services Vocational School, who will serve as the health personnel of the future, about parasitic diseases, prevention and control measures from these diseases. A total of 587 students, comprising 418 (71.2%) females and 169 (28.8%) males, studying at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Health Services Vocational School, were included in the study. The questions in the questionnaire were arranged in three groups, as those about parasitic diseases, transmission routes of these diseases, and prevention and treatment. Cronbach alpha coefficients were calculated within the scope of the reliability analysis of the questionnaire questions. The Cronbach alpha values for the domains of Knowledge Level About Parasitic Diseases, Knowledge Level About the Transmission of Parasitic Diseases, and Knowledge Level About the Prevention and Treatment of Parasitic Diseases were determined as 0.647 (64.7%), 0.707 (70.7%), and 0.566 (56.6%), respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between the departments included in the study in terms of the level of knowledge about parasitic diseases (P < 0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the departments in the evaluation made between the level of knowledge about the prevention and treatment of parasitic diseases and the personal characteristics of the students (P < 0.05). As the result, it was observed that the students participating in the study did not have sufficient knowledge about parasitic diseases.
