Abstract

Introduction: Existing literature on the geriatric-related attitudes of medical students reveals inconsistent results in terms of feelings for the elderly. This study aims to determine the perceptions of medical students regarding ageing and geriatric education. Materials and Method: A qualitative study was conducted with 160 second-year medicalstudents who visited a nursing home and responded to three open-ended questions about thisexperience. The responses were qualitatively analysed using the constant comparative methodfor themes. Results: Second year medical students indicated both positive and negative impressions ofageing. Although they generally believed that ageing brings experience and maturity, happy ageing was seen as being dependent on individual characteristics and personality factors that affectthe emotional aspects of ageing and, therefore, quality of life. The students indicated recognition that ageing is related to inevitable physiological changes and a belief that most illnesses inthe elderly are untreatable because of the natural decline in health related to ageing. Studentsindicated a sense of inadequacy in communicating with the elderly and emphasised the importance of introducing geriatric psychiatry lessons into the curriculum to improve their understanding of the elderly. Conclusion: This study provides a better understanding of the opinions of future doctorsabout ageing and of beliefs that should be addressed to help in the making of doctors with more positive attitudes toward older people

Özet

Girifl: Literatürde tıp öğrencilerinin yafllılık ile ilgili düflünceleri hakkında tutarsız sonuçlar bildirilmektedir. Bu çalıflmanın amacı tıp öğrencilerinin yafllanma ve yafllılık eğitimi hakkındaki düflüncelerini saptamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalıflma 160 ikinci sınıf tıp öğrencisi ile niteleyici olarak yapılmıfltır. Birhuzurevini ziyaret eden öğrencilerden bu tecrübelerini değerlendiren üç açık uçlu soruya yazılı yanıt vermeleri istenmifltir. Yanıtlar sürekli karflılafltırma yöntemi kullanılarak niteliksel olarak analizedilmifltir.Bulgular: Tıp fakültesi ikinci sınıf öğrencileri yafllanma hakkında hem olumlu, hem de olumsuz izlenimler sergilemifltir. Genel olarak yafllanmanın beraberinde tecrübe ve olgunluk getirdiğini düflünmektedirler. Buna rağmen, mutlu bir yafllanmanın bireysel özelliklere ve kiflisel etkenlerebağlı olduğu ve bunların yafllıların duygusal hayatlarını, dolayısıyla yaflam kalitesini etkilediğini belirtmifllerdir. Öğrencilere göre yafllanma önlenemez fizyolojik değifliklikler ile sonuçlanmakta veyafllanmanın doğal bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan hastalıkların çoğu tedavi edilememektedir. Öğrenciler yafllılar ile iletiflim konusunda kendilerini yetersiz hissettiklerini bildirmifl ve yafllıları dahaiyi anlayabilmeleri için eğitim programına geriatrik psikiyatri derslerinin konmasının önemine dikkat çekmifllerdir. Sonuç: Bu çalıflma hekim adaylarının yafllanma hakkındaki düflünceleri ve gelecekte yafllılarakarflı daha olumlu tutumlar sergileyen hekimler yetifltirmek için ele alınması gereken inanıflları daha iyi anlamamızı sağlamıfltır
