Abstract

This research aimed to determine the perspectives of health sciences faculty students regarding art. In this context, data was collected through a survey from 393 students in different departments studying at Necmettin Erbakan University Nezahat Keleşoğlu Faculty of Health Sciences in the 2023-2024 academic year. Participants; It was observed that 86.8% were women, 34.6% were sophomores, 28.8% were students of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, and 46.8% were not interested in any branch of art. The two statements with which the participants agreed at the highest level were "I like going to the movies" (4.32±.74) and "I believe that works of art evoke good feelings in people" (4.24±.73), respectively. The two statements with the lowest arithmetic mean in the scale were determined as "I would love to see myself as a famous artist in the future" and "I dream of my artistic works being exhibited in a museum or gallery one day", respectively. It is seen that the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of the scale total score are 3.80±.55. No significant relationship was found between students' attitudes towards art and gender, age, department and class. The overall average of the scale with the sub-dimensions "Necessity of Art", "Valuing Art Education", "Personal Artistic Tendency" is higher for participants who are interested in art than those who are not interested. In line with the research results, it can be recommended to support students' participation in artistic activities and increase such activities in schools.
