Öz

The research was conducted to determine the relationship between the xenophobic attitudes of midwifery students towards refugees and their conscientiousness. The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with students studying in the midwifery department of a health sciences faculty between April 15 and May 15, 2021. The population of the study consisted of midwifery students (N=368), and the sample consisted of 218 students who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. “Personal Information Form”, “Conscious Intelligence Scale” and “Xenophobia Scale” were used as data collection tools. According to the xenophobia scale total scores of the students participating in the study,
it was determined that xenophobia was below the moderate level and the conscientious intelligence scores were quite high. A statistically significant difference was found between the students' grades and the total scores of the xenophobia scale. As a result of the correlation analysis performed to determine the relationship between the scales, no significant relationship was found between the total scores obtained from the scales. Positive and weak (r=.144, p=0.034) between the total score of the Xenophobia scale and the ethical values sub-dimension of the Conscientious Intelligence Scale, and weak (r=-.191,) between the total score of the Xenophobia scale and the compassion sub-dimension of the Conscientious Intelligence Scale. p=0.005) relationship was determined. In the study, it was determined that midwifery students' fear of refugees was below the medium level and their conscientious intelligence scores were quite high. This research will fill the gap in the field and will provide a new perspective on the approach and communication to refugees in the provision of health services.
