ECZACILIK ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN İNTERNET ÖZ-YETERLİKLERİ

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada eczacılık öğrencilerinin internet öz-yeterlik düzeylerinin tespit edilmesi, eczacılık öğrencileri örnekleminde İnternet Öz-yeterliği Ölçeğinin faktör yapısının belirlenerek bazı değişkenlerin alt boyutlar üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. 

Gereç ve Yöntem: Birinci sınıfta bulunan eczacılık öğrencilerine Türkçe geçerlik ve güvenirliği Akın ve arkadaşları (2014) tarafından yapılmış İnternet Öz-yeterliği Ölçeğini içeren anket formu uygulanmıştır. Açıklayıcı faktör analizi (AFA), t testi ve ANOVA analizi yapılmış ve ölçek puanları hesaplanmıştır.

Sonuç ve Tartışma: AFA sonucunda 4 faktörlü bir yapı ortaya çıkmış olup tüm faktör yüklerinin 0,5’ten fazla olduğu görülmüştür. İnternette 3-5 saat arasında zaman geçirenlerin 3 saatten az zaman geçirenlere göre iletişim faktörüne daha yüksek yanıt verdikleri, üretkenlik faktöründe kadınların erkeklerden daha yüksek ortalamaya sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ölçek puanlarının ortalaması 78,25 standart sapması ise 19,11 olarak bulunmuştur. Eczacı adaylarının internet öz-yeterliklerinin eczacılık eğitimlerini ve gelecekteki eczacılık hizmetlerini etkileyebileceği göz önüne alındığında bu konuya önem verilmelidir.

INTERNET SELF-EFFICACY OF PHARMACY STUDENTS

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to determine the internet self-efficacy levels of pharmacy students, to define the factor structure of the Internet Self-Efficacy Scale in pharmacy students sample, and to examine the effects of some variables on sub-dimensions.

Material and Method: A questionnaire including the Internet Self-efficacy Scale that Turkish validity and reliability were made by Akın et al. (2014), was applied to the first year pharmacy students. Explanatory factor analysis (EFA), t test and ANOVA analysis were performed and scale scores were calculated.

Result and Discussion: As a result of EFA, a 4-factor structure emerged and it was observed that all factor loadings were more than 0.5. It was determined that those who spend 3-5 hours on internet responded to the communication factor higher than those who spent less than 3 hours, and women had a higher average than men in generativity factor. Mean scale score was 78.25 and the standard deviation was 19.11. Considering that the internet self-efficacy of pharmacist candidates may affect their pharmacy education and future pharmacy services, importance should be given to this issue.
