Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma Üniversitedeki Hemşirelik Bölümü öğrencilerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin tutumları ile lezbiyen ve gey bireylere yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini, ilgili Üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü 1’inci- 4’üncü sınıflarına 2018-2019 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar yarıyılında devam eden 1079 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada örneklem seçimine gidilmeyerek 606 gönüllü öğrenciyle yapılmıştır (Güç=%99,0). Veriler Sosyo-Demografik Veri Formu, Lezbiyene Geylere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği- Kısa Versiyon (LGBT) ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri Tutum Ölçeği (TCRT) kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların %90.3’ünün toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri kavramını bildiği bulunmuştur. Cinsel yönelimi/kimliği nedeniyle LGBT bireyine ayrımcılık uygulayıp uygulamayacakları sorgulanan öğrencilerin %69.6’sı ayrımcılık uygulamayacağını, %15’i kararsız olduğunu ve %14.8’i ayrımcılık uygulayacağını belirtmiştir. Katılımcı öğrencilerin TCRT ölçeği puan ortalamalarının 65,044±14,22 olduğu; LGYT ölçeğinin puanları ise 30,533±8,454 olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin LGYT ölçeği puanıyla TCRT ölçeği puanları arasında negatif yönde önemli bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,01).
Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri puanlarının düşük olduğu, geleneksel tutum gösterdikleri ve öğrencilerin toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ile lezbiyen-geylere yönelik tutumları arasında negatif yönde bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur.
