Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Öğrencilerinin ''Uygulamalı Aydınlatılmış Onam Alma Becerisi (UAOAB)'' Eğitim Programı ile İlgili Görüşleri: 2010-2014 Yıllarını Kapsayan Bir Anket Çalışması
Abstract
Aim: Applied education program on “Obtaining Informed Consent Skill (UAOAB)”, which was developed for Ankara University Faculty of Medicine Grade-3 students and has been continuing since 2004, underwent some structural changes over the years especially after 2012. This study was designed to reveal whether students’ thoughts on the program differ parallel to these changes through time.
Material and Method: Students who attended practice sessions as a part of the UAOAB education between the years of 2010-14 were asked to fill out an evaluation questionnaire about this education study. The data collected were statistically analyzed and findings were interpreted.
Findings: The great majority of the students consider “informed consent” an important issue with respect to their professional lives; however, they think that their knowledge and skills are insufficient. They are generally satisfied with the UAOAB education (mean 81.3%). The ratio of students, who think that the program is
efficient in terms of professional responsibility acquisition and teaching communication skills, is significantly higher between the years of 2012-14 than previous years.
Results: Students are in need of acquiring knowledge and skills about “informed consent” and related issues. The finding that students have positive opinions regarding UAOAB education program supports endeavors to continue the program by developing it progressively. Results showing the change over time suggest that the use of standardized patients and simulation techniques lead to a more efficient program.
