    Introduction: Violence against women has become an important public health and human rights issue. In this study, we aimed to determine and evaluate the attitudes of students in a medical school in Istanbul towards violence against women. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive study. The population of the study consists of 1523 undergraduate students studying at the Faculty of Medicine of a university on the Anatolian side of Istanbul in the 2020-2021 academic year. The sample size was calculated as a minimum of 307 people with a 95% confidence interval and 5% margin of error and %50 prevalance (since the prevalence of medical students' attitudes towards violence against women is not known exactly, it was taken as 50%). This study was carried out with 504 participants in total. The research data were collected using a questionnaire designed to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants and the "Attitudes towards Violence Scale (SITO)", which evaluates the attitudes of the participants towards violence. Results: Among the participants %65.3 were female and 34.7% were male. While 41.9% of the participants in this study were preclinical medical students, 58.1% were clinical medical students. There is a statistical significant difference between the total scores of men and women from the SITO (Attitudes towards Violence Scale) scale (p<0.001). While the mean SITO(Attitudes towards Violence Scale) total score of preclinical medical students was 32.38±0.37, the mean SITO(Attitudes towards Violence Scale) total score of clinical medical students was 33±0.47. Considering the scores obtained from the all SITO(Attitudes towards Violence Scale) subscales, there was a significant difference between whether the students were preclinical or clinical and the scores they got from the SITO(Attitudes towards Violence Scale) emotional subscale (p<0.05). When the scale scores of the participants were examined according to the region they were born, a significant difference was observed between the participants in terms of the scores obtained from the SITO (Attitudes towards Violence Scale) economic subscale according to the region of birth (p<0.05). Conclusion: Sex, class level, place of residence, region of birth, economic status of the students and their parents' work and education levels affect their attitudes towards violence against women

    (MARMARA UNIV, FAC MEDICINE, 2021-05-25) TOPUZOĞLU, AHMET; Kurnaz Ay, Merve; Sulaiman, Tasnim Musa; Garabli, Nefise; Acar, Yusuf; Uzunoglu, Ihsan; Akkus, Mehmet; Topuzoglu, Ahmet
    Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the emotional intelligence levels of the faculty of medicine students and to determine the effects of emotional intelligence levels on communication skills, and the effect of sociodemographic factors on emotional intelligence and communication skills. Materials and Methods: The faculty of medicine students constituted the sample of this descriptive study. The research was completed with a total of 225 students selected by the haphazard sampling method from each year of a six - year medical school. The data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic characteristics, the Emotional Intelligence Assessment Scale (ETAS), and the Communication Skills Evaluation Scale (CSES). Results: In our study, 44.4% (n = 100) of the participants were male , 55.6% (n = 125) were female. Approximately, 46.7% (n = 105) had low, 44.4% (100) had normal and 8.9% (n = 20) had high emotional intelligence. The communication skills mean score was found to be statistically significantly higher in female than in male. There was a moderate level of a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and communication skills. Conclusion: In conclusion, participants with a high level of emotional intelligence have better communication skills. In training programs, more emphasis can be given to emotion management, emotional intelligence, and communication skills.
