The data were collected via an online survey. A sociodemographic information form, the ORTO-11 scale, and the Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Symptom Inventory (MOCI) were used as data collection forms.Results: The mean age of the students was 20.5±2.1 (range 18-32) years, and 50.7% (n=417) were female. Orthorexia tendency was detected as 19% (n=156). A significant negative relationship was found between the students' ORTO-11 and MOCI scores (p KW - Medical students KW - orthorexia KW - obsessive-compulsive symptoms N2 - Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı tıp öğrencilerinin ortoreksiya nervoza (ON) eğilimlerini belirlemek ve obsesif-kompulsif belirtilerin bu tutumlar üzerindeki rolünü araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma 822 tıp öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler çevrimiçi bir anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Veri toplama formu olarak sosyodemografik bilgi formu, ORTO-11 ölçeği ve Maudsley Obsesif Kompulsif Belirti Envanteri (MOCI) kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.5±2.1 (dağılım 18-32) yıl olup, %50.7'si (n=417) kadındır. Ortoreksiya eğilimi %19 (n=156) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin ORTO-11 ve MOCI puanları arasında negatif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p0.05). Gece yemek yemeyen, paketli gıda tüketmeyen, gıdaların son kullanma tarihini ve içeriğini kontrol eden ve düzenli öğün yapan katılımcıların ORTO-11 puanları anlamlı derecede düşüktü. Öğrencilerin ortalama vücut kitle indeksi ile ORTO-11 ve MOCI puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamıştır (tümü için p>0.05).Sonuç: Çalışma sonuçları, tıp öğrencileri arasında ON eğiliminin yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Obsesif-kompulsif semptomları olan öğrencilerde ON daha yaygındır. ON ile mücadeleye obsesif-kompulsif belirtileri ortadan kaldırmaya yönelik müdahaleler de eklenmelidir. CR - Mathieu J.
