Bu araştırmanın amacı Beslenme ve Diyetetik öğrencilerinin mesleki farkındalık oranlarını ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışma, xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx Üniversitesi, xxxxxx Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü'nde öğrenim gören toplam 226 diyetetik öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın ana çıktısı mesleki farkındalığı ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Çalışma verileri tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve nitel analiz yöntemlerinden tematik analiz ile değerlendirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin çoğu, aile desteği ve sağlığın teşviki ve geliştirilmesi isteği nedeniyle kariyer seçmektedir. Mesleki düzenlemelere ilişkin farkındalık oranları oldukça yüksektir (en az %71,7). Farkındalığın önemli faktörleri bireysel (meslek tutkusu, ilgiler, istekler dahil), uygulamalar ve eğilimler veya sosyal etkilerdir. Mesleki zorluk yaşayan öğrencilerin mesleki farkındalık faktörlerinin belirlenmesi ve diyetetik öğrencileri arasında ortak faktörlerin olduğunun farkına varılması, eğitimciler arasındaki farkındalığı artırabilir, eğitim politikalarının geliştirilmesine rehberlik edebilir ve öğrenciler için temel farkındalık kaynaklarını azaltmanın önemini vurgulayabilir.
