Amaç: Bu araflt›rma, Türkiye’nin üç farkl› bölgesinde yer alan üç farkl› flehirde
ö¤renim gören hemflirelik bölümü ö¤rencilerinin HIV/AIDS ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerini
belirlemek amac›yla yap›lm›flt›r.
Yöntem: Üç farkl› üniversitenin hemflirelik bölümünde ö¤renim gören ve tabakal›
örneklem yöntemi ile seçilen 226 ö¤renciye, araflt›rmac›lar taraf›ndan oluflturulmufl
Kiflisel Bilgi Formu ve HIV/AIDS Bilgi Formu uygulanm›flt›r.
Bulgular: Araflt›rmaya kat›lan ö¤rencilerden 220’sinin (%97.3) bekar oldu¤u;
213 ö¤rencinin ise (%94.2) daha önce hiç cinsel iliflki deneyimi olmad›¤› belirlenmifltir.
Ö¤rencilerin %42.9’u HIV/AIDS’le ilgili ilk bilgilerini TV arac›l›¤›yla ö¤rendi¤ini
belirtirken, %25.2’si lisedeki e¤itimcilerden, %13.3’ü üniversitedeki e¤itimcilerden,
%12.0’› aileleri veya arkadafllar› arac›l›¤›yla ve %6.2’si ise kitap, internet vb. arac›-
l›¤›yla ö¤rendi¤ini ifade etmifltir. Bulgular, ö¤rencilerin HIV/AIDS Bilgi Formu’nu büyük
oranda do¤ru cevaplamalar›na ra¤men, yine de hastal›¤›n bulaflmas› hakk›
nda eksik ya da yanl›fl bilgilerinin oldu¤u göstermektedir. Araflt›rmada, ö¤rencilerin
HIV/AIDS konusundaki bilgi düzeyleri yüksek bulunmufltur. Ö¤rencilerin s›n›f
düzeyleri yükseldikçe bilgi puan ortalamalar› da artmaktad›r. Farkl› üniversitelerde
e¤itim alan ö¤rencilerin bilgi puan ortalamalar› birbirinden farkl›d›r. Araflt›rmada,
farkl› üniversitelerin farkl› s›n›flar› aras›ndaki farkl›l›k incelendi¤inde, A¤r› Da¤›
ve Mersin Üniversitesi sa¤l›k yüksekokulu ö¤rencilerinin s›n›f düzeyi artt›kça puan
ortalamalar› da artmakta iken, ‹stanbul Üniversitesi Bak›rköy Sa¤l›k Yüksekokulu birinci
s›n›f ö¤rencilerinin bilgi puan ortalamas› ikinci s›n›f ö¤rencilerin ortalamas›ndan
daha yüksektir.
Tart›flma: Gençlerin HIV/AIDS konusunda birincil bilgi kayna¤› olarak televizyonu
belirtmeleri bu konuda yap›lm›fl di¤er araflt›rma bulgular› ile paraleldir.
HIV/AIDS’in bulaflma ve korunma yollar› konusunda gençlerin bilgi sahibi olmas›,
hastal›¤›n h›zla yay›lmas›n› engellemekle birlikte, HIV/AIDS hakk›nda yanl›fl inançlar›
n ve eksik bilgilerin giderilmesini sa¤layacaktır.
Purpose: This research was conducted for the purpose of determining
HIV/AIDS knowledge level of nursing students from three different cities in three
different regions of Turkey.
Method: Using a stratified sampling method 226 students were selected from
three different university schools of nursing and administered a Personal Information
Form, developed by the researchers, and the HIV/AIDS Information Form.
Findings: In this research 220 (97.3%) of the participating students were single
and 213 (94.2%) stated that they had never had sexual intercourse. The first source
of the students' information about HIV/AIDS was from TV (42.9%), followed by
high school teachers (25.2%), university teachers (13.3%), family or friends (12%),
and books, internet, etc. (6.2%). These findings show that although the students
answered a large percentage of the HIV/AIDS Information Form correctly they
have incorrect or incomplete information about the methods of transmission of
the disease. HIV/AIDS knowledge level of the students in the research was high.
As the students' class level increased their mean knowledge score also increased.
In the examination of the differences between different classes at the different
universities in this research it was determined that while A¤r› Da¤› and Mersin
University nursing students' mean scores increased as their class level increased
the ‹stanbul University Bak›rköy Health School first year nursing students' knowledge
score was higher than the second year.
Conclusions: Young people's knowledge about the methods of transmission
and prevention of HIV/AIDS will both prevent the rapid spread of the disease as
well as eliminate incorrect and incomplete information about HIV/AIDS.
