Abstract

Aim: This research aimed to assess the perception of the health locus of control in nursing and technical sciences students.Methods: The study conducted at one state university in 2014 and consisted of 413 (192 nursing, 222 technical sciences) students. Data were obtained with the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, and a survey about the socio-demographic and some of the health behaviors of students and evaluated with percentage, frequency, median, standard deviation, ANOVA, t and Tukey tests.Results: The school type of students were observed to affect their health locus of control perceptions. Students who exercised regularly had more internal control, whereas students who do not drink alcohol were more deterministic in terms of their health. Conclusion: Students should be encouraged to improve a sense of responsibility in health and disease, and enhance internal health locus of control.

Keywords: Health Locus of Control; University Student; HealthÖZ Hemşirelik ve Teknik Bilimler Öğrencilerinin Sağlık Kontrol Odağı Algılarının Değerlendirilmesi Amaç: Bu araştırma hemşirelik ve teknik bilimler öğrencilerinin sağlık kontrol odağı algılarının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlandı. Yöntem: Bu araştırmanın örneklemeni, 2014 yılında bir devlet üniversitesinde eğitim gören 413 öğrenci (192 hemşirelik, 222 teknik bilimler öğrencisi). Veriler Çok Boyutlu Sağlık Kontrol Odağı Ölçeği ve literatür doğrultusunda hazırlanan, katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile, bazı sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını sorgulayan anket formu ile toplandı. Elde edilen veriler yüzde, sıklık, ortalama, standart sapma, ANOVA, t testi ve Tukey testi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Eğitim görülen okul türü, kişilerin sağlık kontrol odağı algıları üzerinde etkilidir. Düzenli olarak egzersiz yapan öğrenciler sağlıkları ile ilgili daha güçlü içsel kontrole sahipken, alkol kullanmayan öğrencilerin ise sağlıklarıyla ilişkili daha kaderci bir tutum sergiledikleri belirlendi. Sonuç: Öğrenciler kendi sağlıklarıyla ilgili olarak sorumluluk alma konusunda cesaretlendirilmeli, öğrencilerin içsel sağlık kontrol odağı algıları geliştirilmelidir Anahtar Kelimeler: Sağlık Kontrol Odağı; Üniversite Öğrencisi; Sağlık
