Abstract

This study was carried out in order to find out the
opinions and general knowledge levels of the students in the Faculty of
Veterinary Medicine regarding euthanasia.
The material of the research was the data obtained
from the survey that was carried out with face-to-face interviews with
638 students, consisting of 320 students from Kafkas
University and 318 students from Adnan Menderes University. In the study, it
was determined that the average age of the students, who participated in the
study, was 23.09±1.45; and 70.5% of them had gained information about
euthanasia during their educations at the school. When the views of the faculty
of veterinary medicine students on the euthanasia were analyzed, it was
determined that 71.2% of participants deemed appropriate that euthanasia can be
applied to the animals in the required situations. It was found that 83.1% of
the participants had the idea that euthanasia demands of the animal owners
should be considered by the veterinarian, and 55.5% of the students thought
that religious beliefs should not be regarded as an important reference in the
discussions about animal euthanasia.
It was determined
that there are differences in the views of the veterinarian candidates studying
in faculty of veterinary medicine depending on demographic structure, gender,
culture and lifestyle.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, veteriner
fakültesi öğrencilerinin ötenazi hakkındaki genel bilgi ve görüşlerini
belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın materyalini Kafkas Üniversitesinden 320, Adnan
Menders Üniversitesi’nden 318 olmak üzere 
638 öğrenci ile yüz yüze yapılan anketten elde edilen veriler
oluşturmuştur. Yapılan çalışmada, araştırma kapsamına alınan öğrencilerin yaş
ortalamasının 23.09±1.45 olduğu ve %70.5’inin ötenazi hakkındaki bilgiyi okul
eğitimi sırasında aldığı belirlenmiştir. Veteriner fakültesi öğrencilerinin
ötenaziye ilişkin görüşleri incelendiğinde, katılımcıların %71.2’sine göre
gerekli durumlarda hayvanlara ötenazi uygulaması yapılabileceğini uygun
buldukları belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların %83,1’inin hayvan sahiplerinin hasta
hayvanları için ötenazi isteğinin veteriner hekim tarafından dikkate alınması gerektiğini
düşündükleri ve %55.5’inin dini inançların hayvanlara ötenazi tartışmalarında
önemli bir referans olarak kabul edilmemesi gerektiğini düşündükleri tespit
edilmiştir.  Veteriner fakültesinde
okuyan veteriner hekim adaylarının ötenaziye yaklaşımları konusunda demografik
yapı, cinsiyet, kültürel ve yaşam tarzlarına göre farklılıkların önemli olduğu belirlenmiştir.
