Abstract

Aim: The aim of our study is to examine the life quality of medical students and to evaluate the factors associated with quality of life. Methods: A descriptive, cross sectional study was planned; a total of 309 people were surveyed. The first part of questionnaire consists of 29 questions, which includes sociodemographic information; and the second part consists of WHO Quality of Life-BREF Turkish version. Results: The average age was 22.47±2.31 years, 34,3% (n=106) participants were women. Differences between the genders in the physical health score, and between the classes in the physical health and psychological score were statistically significant. The psychological score of the students living with their family was found statistically lower. Quality of Life scores were significantly higher in students who have suitable space for studying at the place they live and students participating in social activities. Conclusion: We determined that the place of residance, having suitable space for studying and participations in social activities affect the quality of life. This situation makes us think that the biopsychosocial approach to improve students’ quality of life will be effective.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin yaşam kalitesini incelemek ve yaşamkalitesi ile ilişkili faktörleri değerlendirmektir.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel desende planlanan çalışmada toplam 309 kişiye anketuygulanmıştır. Uygulanan anket formunun birinci kısmı, öğrencilerin sosyodemografik bilgilerinisorgulayan 29 sorudan oluşurken; ikinci kısmı ise Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi ölçeği- KısaFormu Türkiye versiyonundan oluşuyordu.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 22,47±2,31 yıl idi. Katılımcıların %34,3 (n=106)’ü kadındı. Cinsiyetlerarasında fiziksel sağlık alan skorunda, sınıflar arasında fiziksel sağlık ve psikolojik alan skorundaistatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar mevcuttu. Ailesi ile yaşayan öğrencilerin psikolojik alan skoruistatistiksel olarak daha düşük tespit edildi. Yaşadığı yerde ders çalışmak için uygun ortamı olanöğrencilerin fiziksel sağlık, psikolojik, sosyal ilişkiler ve çevre-tr alan skorları istatistiksel olarakanlamlı düzeyde yüksekti. Benzer şekilde sanatsal etkinliklere katılan öğrencilerin de tüm alanlardayaşam kalitesi skorları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu.Sonuç: Tıp Fakültesi öğrencilerinde, yaşam kalitelerinin farklı alanları ile ilişkili faktörlerdeğerlendirildiğinde; ikamet edilen yerin, yaşanılan yerde ders çalışmaya uygun ortamın bulunmasının,sanatsal etkinliklere katılımın yaşam kalitesine etki ettiğini saptadık. Bu durum bize, öğrencilerinyaşam kalitelerini yükseltmeye yönelik biyopsikososyal yaklaşımın etkili olacağı düşündürmektedir.
