Attitudes of Veterinary Faculty Students Towards The One Health Approach

Öz

This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of veterinary faculty students in Türkiye towards the One Health approach. The study population was determined by selecting a stratified sample of 230 undergraduate students from different academic years and demographic backgrounds, drawn from a total of 529 students enrolled at Sivas Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Data were collected using a three-part questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic information, One Health awareness and education, and the One Health Attitude Scale, which includes four sub-dimensions (Zoonoses, Epidemics and Early Warning, Food Safety, and Antibiotic Resistance). Responses were measured on a five-point Likert scale, and scores above 3.5 were considered to indicate a positive attitude. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software, including t-tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests, Pearson correlations, and multivariate logistic regression methods. The findings showed that students generally exhibited a positive attitude towards One Health, and the total scale mean was 62.22 ± 11.60. The highest mean scores among the subdimensions were observed in Epidemics and Early Warning (16.77 ± 3.25), Zoonoses (16.48 ± 3.35), and Antibiotic Resistance (16.56 ± 3.32). Correlation analyses revealed strong positive relationships between the subdimensions (r = 0.820–0.942, p < 0.01). No significant difference was found based on gender or prior knowledge of the One Health concept; however, students who had received One Health education or had relatives in the field of environmental health scored significantly lower. Year of study, was also associated with attitude differences, particularly among second and fourth-year students. The study highlights the importance of integrating One Health into the veterinary curriculum and the need for students to gain hands-on training and awareness on zoonoses, epidemics, and antibiotic resistance. The findings demonstrate that students have the potential to effectively contribute to multidisciplinary health initiatives in the future.
