Bu çalışmanın amacı Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Eczacılık Fakültesi 4. sınıf öğrencilerinin geriatrik bakım konusundaki bilgi ve tutumlarını değerlendirmekti. Bu çalışma, kesitsel bir çevrimiçi anket çalışmasıdır. Anket Google formu ile oluşturuldu ve çalışma 9 Mayıs–23 Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Ankete katılanların %64,4'ü yaşlılarda vücut yağının azaldığına inanmaktaydı. Katılımcıların, sırasıyla, %17.8'i ve %23.3'ü Beer listesine göre diklofenak ve imipraminin yaşlılar için uygun olmadığı ifadesine katıldı. Ankete katılanların %83,6'sı yaşlıların birden fazla kronik hastalığı, birden fazla ilacı ve ilaçlara karşı alerjik reaksiyonları olduğuna inanmaktaydı. Ülkemizde geriatrik sağlık konularına yeterince önem verildiği görüşüne katılımcıların %24.6'sı katılmaktaydı. Bu çalışma öğrencilerin geriatrik bakıma ilişkin tutumları genel olarak yeterli olsa da, bilgi düzeylerinde birtakım eksiklikler olduğunu göstermiştir. Eczacılık lisans eğitiminde, yaşlılarda akılcı ilaç kullanımı ve geriatri bakımı gibi derslere önem verilmelidir.

Öz

The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Pharmacy 4th grade students about geriatric care. This study is a cross-sectional online survey study The questionnaire was created with the Google form and the study was carried out between May 9 and May 23, 2022. 64.4% of the respondents believed that body fat decreased in the elderly. 17.8% and 23.3% of the respondents, respectively, agreed with the statement that diclofenac and imipramine are inappropriate for the elderly according to the Beer list.83.6% of the respondents believed that older adults have more than one chronic disease, more than one drug, and allergic reactions to drugs. 24.6% of the respondents agreed with the idea that enough attention is paid to geriatric health issues in our country. This study shows that although students' attitudes towards geriatric care are generally sufficient, there are some deficiencies in their knowledge levels. In pharmacy undergraduate education, importance should be given to courses such as rational drug use and geriatric care in the elderly.
