Abstract

This study aimed to examine the depression levels of associate degree students attending a vocational school of health services according to some variables. The sample consisted of 507 students studying different programs (Pharmacy Services, Child Development, Elderly Care, Hair Care and Beauty Services, and Medical Laboratory) at Yunus Emre Vocational School of Health Services of Anadolu University in the academic year 2021-2022. The data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory developed by Beck, Ward, and Mendelson (1961) and adapted to Turkish by Hisli (1989), and a personal information form developed by the researchers. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22.0. The sociodemographic characteristics were shown in percentages and frequencies. T-test and analysis of variance were used in the data analysis. According to the analysis results, students’ depression levels did not significantly differ by gender and the year of study. However, first-year students had more depression symptoms. A significant relationship was found between students’ depression levels and socioeconomic status. Accordingly, students with middle-income status had more depression symptoms.
