Methods: 640 students who were elected by the Students' Selection and Ranking Examination (Öǧrenci Seçme Sinavi-OSS), had been contributed in our study during enrolling time to university; September 2006. Our sample had been constituted of students coming from very different regions, representing the Turkish student population. Results: 42.7% of subjects were male and 57.3% were female.

Female students had suffered much more headache, gastritis, anemia than male students (respectively p= 0.000, p= 0.037 and p=0.000). 55.7% of the male students and 27.5% of the female students were smokers. All of the drinkers were male. Headache and gastritis had been found associated with each other (Spearman r=0.259, p=0.000). Headache was found higher in subjects with epilepsy than others (p= 0.020). Conclusion: Physicians of school based health centers, firstly, must understand students' health problems. This study emphasizes the importance of health screening of enrolling students in the registration time and the necessity of school based health centers
Characteristics of Turkish marital properties of Turkish outpatient population
No full textObjective: To dispose the marital properties, problems and resolution ways among Turkish people based on our trial. Materials & methods: This was a population-based, cross-sectional study. Four hundred and ninety two people addressing to three different health centers have been contributed to study by a written informed consent during September, 2004 and November, 2004. Subjects completed a questionnaire assessing their marriages. Results analyzed in SPSS 11.0. T-test, covariance, linear regression and descriptive statistics used. Results: Of subjects, 88 % were women and 12 % men. Mean age was 42.5 +/- 10.34(SD). Wedding age and marriage duration found higher in men than women. Youth prefers flirting more than elder people do. Violence found in 13.5 % of subjects: all women. Divorce thought by 22.6 % of the subjects in any time of marriage. Conclusion: Turkish couples have different marital properties compared to other nations because of strictness to religion, morale and traditions
Validity of the Turkish patient-doctor relationship questionnaire (PDRQ-Turkish) in comparison with the Europep instrument in a family medicine center
No full textAIM: To establish the validity and concurrent reliability of the Turkish version of the PDRQ with an already validated questionnaire in Turkish, the EUROPEP-Turkish. Materials & methods: The study was performed in a family medicine outpatient clinic from October 2009 until April 2010. The PDRQ-Turkish was administered to 405 outpatient volunteers, simultaneously with the EUROPEP-Turkish. The statistics were performed in SPSS 17 and Lisrel 8.3. Student's t- test and confirmatory factor analysis were applied. Results: The mean age of the patients was 21.6 +/- 4.9 years (SD). The total scores for the PDRQ-Turkish and the EUROPEP-Turkish showed a moderate correlation (r=0.471, p=0.000) for all patients. Factor analysis of the PDRQ yielded two factors. However, the variance of the second factor accounted for 9.26% of the total variance, and the internal consistency Cronbach-alpha value of the second factor was 0.37. Thus, we deleted the items that loaded on the second factor (the 6th, 13th, 14th and the 15th items), and this change yielded an internal consistency Cronbach-alpha value of 0.91 and a large goodness of fit index (GFI) of 0.97 with the correlated factors model for the PDRQ-Turkish. The Cronbach-alpha of Europep instrument was found 0.91 also and there is no significant difference both them (p>0.05) Conclusion: The PDRQ-Turkish can be used as efficently as the Europep instrument for the patient and doctor relationship in primary care
Investigating the scientifi c process skills of medical students in relation to medical decision making: Research on basic medical science competence.
Get PDFBackground: Medical students are expected
to convey scientifi c literacy and possess certain
scientifi c skills prior to being admitted
to medical schools. Laboratory practices
being provided during their education play
a crucial role in their professional development
and the usefulness of these practices is
possible and can be enriched if the students
possess prior scientifi c skills. Th e purpose of
this study is to determine the scientifi c process
skills of second year medical students
in Suleyman Demirel University, Faculty of
Medicine, Turkey.
Methods: Th e study was conducted in April
2006 by using the Scientifi c Process Skills
Questionnaire (SPSQ) for laboratory practices.
Randomly selected (n = 76) second year
medical students participated in the study.
Results: Nine basic scientifi c process skills
were investigated. All of the students responded
correctly to the question that measured
their ability to interpret data. Students
abilities to set up hypothesis and make esestimations
were found quite high. (94.7 %,
92.1 % respectively) Th e two skills that were
challenging to students were the ability to
make an observation and their profi ciency in
scales. Th e percentage of correct responses to
those questions were 50 % and 50.5 % respectively.
Conclusions: Th e study suggests that students
in the study group possess the necessary
scientifi c process skills at some degree
(86 %). However, this ratio, thus the productivity
of laboratory practices can be enhanced
by building up on skills such as making observations
and interpreting scales. Quality in
medical education cannot be achieved if we
do not provide our students with basic scientifi
c process skills early in their education

Get PDFAims: To a ssess the prevalence of depression
among the fi rst-year university students.
Methods: 237 freshmen contributed anonymously
to the study on a voluntary basis and
an informed consent was obtained. Beck Depression
Inventory-II Turkish (BDI-II-T) was
applied. SPSS 11.0 statistical program was
used.
Results: Overall depression prevalence was
8.4 %. 54.9 % of subjects were females. 3 factors
were found: factor 1 (depressive) with
11.2 %, factor 2 (cognitive) with 9.7 % and factor
3 (somatic-aff ective) with 8.8 % of total
variance. Mild depression was found in 5.9 %,
moderate in 1.7 % and severe depression in
0.8 % of subjects.
Conclusion: BDI-II-T was found to be useful
for the detection of depression among freshmen
in terms of academic failure and future
health
