This study was initiated to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and prejudices of family-planning (FP) providers. Methods This survey was conducted in FP units of primary-health-care centers in Istanbul. A total of 180 providers were interviewed in 80 units to whom a questionnaire was administered by face-to-face technique. Results One-hundred and fifty-two of the providers stated that they had heard of EC. The correct timing and dose interval of EC were known by 50% of them. The participants held the belief that EC caused abortion (39.4%), and that it was harmful for the fetus (31.1%). Other prejudices were the possibility of increased unprotected sexual intercourse (78.9%) and a tendency for men to give up condom use (75%); female providers were more prejudiced concerning these statements. The providers' tendency towards the provision of counseling was significantly related to their prejudices (p = 0.01, 1, p = 0.033) and to the application rate (P = 0.000). Conclusion Providers need more detailed information about EC. During FP training courses, the providers should be encouraged towards counseling EC which would increase the application rate of the users and decrease their own prejudices.Publication Metadata only Dentist’ Spine Problems and Physical Activity.(2008-05-11) TOPSAKAL, NURİ; CÖBEK ÜNALAN, GÜLRU PEMRA; ÇİFÇİLİ, SALİHA SERAP; UZUNER, ARZU; TOPSAKAL N., ÜNALAN G.

This study describes our experience with using theatre in education for medical students since 2001. Methods: The volunteer students, coached by experienced students, were given a two-week preparation period to write and prepare different dramatized headache scenarios during three supervised meetings. A theatrical performance was followed by a student presentation about history taking and clinical findings in diagnosing headache. Finally, a group discussion led by students dealt with issues raised in the performance. The evaluation of the theatre in education lecture A Primary Care Approach to Headache was based on feedback from students. Results: More than 90% of 43 responding students fully agreed with the statement Theatrical performance made it easier to understand the topic. More than 90% disagreed with the statements Lecture halls were not appropriate for this kind of interaction and Students as teachers were not appropriate. Open-ended questions showed that the lesson was thought of as fun, good and useful by most students. The headache questions in the final exam showed results that were similar to average exam results for other questions. Conclusion: Using theatrical performance in medical education was appreciated by most students and may facilitate learning and enhance empathy and team work communication skills.
