Defensive practices are the avoidance behaviours that physicians show to protect themselves. It is seen that these applications are widely practiced by the physicians in Turkey similar to the cade in the world. In the study, it is aimed to evaluate the reasons and the prevalence of defensive medicine practices. Defensive practices are classified under two headings: negative defensive medicine, which is evaluated as avoidance behaviour, and positive defensive medicine, which is more introverted. In both applications, there are reasons why physicians are leading defensive medicine. These are listed as patient-doctor communication, media effect, violence, the increase in the work load of physicians, malpractice cases, health system, low professional experience and fear of complaint. As a result, defensive practices cause adverse situations in terms of physicians and patients. In order to render effective health services, the causes that lead physicians to these applications should be addressed and the problems should be solved. Therefore, in order to prevent defensive medicine, solutions should be sought together with health professionals, particularly with the managers.
