Amaç: Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrenci yurtlarında çalışan personelin sağlık algısını ve madde bağımlılığı farkındalığını belirlemek amacıyla tasarlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırmada kesitsel bir desen kullanılmıştır. Veriler 14.04.2023 tarihinde Atatürk Üniversitesi Kültür Merkezi’nde bir eğitim amacıyla bulunan 208 yurt personelinin katılımı ile tamamlanmıştır. Veriler kişisel tanımlayıcı form, Sağlık Algısı Ölçeği ve Madde Bağımlılığı Farkındalık Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 208 katılımcı dahil edildi ve katılım oranı %50,48 idi. Ortalama yaş 38,76 ± 8,84. Katılımcıların çoğu erkek (%59,1) ve evliydi (%73,1). Katılımcıların Sağlık Algısı Ölçeği'nde puanı 42,37 ± 8,97, Madde Bağımlılığı Farkındalığı Ölçeği'nde puanı ise 93,86 ± 13,68 idi. Medeni durum, eğitim ve meslek sağlık algısını önemli ölçüde etkilemiş; evli bireyler ve yüksek eğitimli gruplar daha güçlü sağlık kontrolü ve farkındalığı göstermiştir. Temizlik personeli diğer mesleklerle karşılaştırıldığında sağlık algısı alt faktörlerinde daha düşük puan almıştır. Demografik özellikler arasında bağımlılık farkındalığında anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır. Sağlık algısı ile bağımlılık farkındalığı arasında orta düzeyde pozitif bir korelasyon bulunmaktadır.
Sonuç: Çalışma, sağlık algısı ile madde bağımlılığı farkındalığının birbiriyle bağlantılı olduğunu, medeni durum, eğitim ve mesleğin sağlık algısı üzerindeki etkisini vurgularken, demografik özellikler ile bağımlılık farkındalığının tutarlı olduğunu ve geniş çaplı kamu sağlığı girişimlerinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.

Determination of Health Perception and Substance Addiction Awareness Among Personnel Working in Student Dormitories

Öz

Objective: The present study was designed to determine health perception and substance addiction awareness among personnel working in university student dormitories.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used in the study. The data were completed with the participation of 208 dormitory personnel who were at the Ataturk University Culture Center for educational purposes on 14.04.2023. Data were collected using a personal descriptive form, the Health Perception Scale, and the Substance Addiction Awareness Scale.
Results: The study included 208 participants, with a 50.48% participation rate. The average age was 38.76±8.84; most were male (59.1%) and married (73.1%). Participants scored 42.37±8.97 on the Health Perception Scale and 93.86±13.68 on the Substance Addiction Awareness Scale. Marital status, education, and occupation significantly influenced health perception, with married individuals and higher-educated groups demonstrating stronger health control and awareness. Cleaning personnel scored lower in health perception sub-factors compared to other occupations. No significant differences were found in addiction awareness across demographics. A moderate positive correlation existed between health perception and addiction awareness, highlighting their interconnectedness.
Conclusions: The study highlights the interconnectedness of health perception and substance addiction awareness, emphasizing the influence of marital status, education, and occupation on health perception while demonstrating consistent addiction awareness across demographics, underscoring the effectiveness of broad public health initiatives.
