AbtractAim: This study was conducted with the aim to determine point of view of final-year university students at Hacettepe University on gender roles regarding work life, social life, marriage and family life. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The questionnaire was applied to a total of 448 students including 250 females and 198 males. Results: The results of the study reveal that views of students on gender roles related to work life, social life, marriage and family life exhibit statistically significant differences among the sexes for most of the statements given. Conclusions: It was identified that male students have more traditional views on gender roles related to work and marriage life. It was identified that female and male students have more egalitarian views on gender roles related to social and family life. The results of the study are important in that views on gender roles are revealed among most university students. The finding that university students still have a traditional perspective on social gender roles indicates that universities has failed to a certain degree in achieving its goal toward educating intellectual and open-minded individuals, and it reveals the need for sensitiveness in equality of gender roles besides the acquirement of professional knowledge.Amaç: Araştırma, Hacettepe Üniversitesi’nde lisans öğrenimine devam eden son sınıf öğrencilerinin çalışma yaşamı, toplumsal yaşam, evlilik ve aile yaşamı ile ilgili toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Anket formu, 250 kız ve 198 erkek olmak üzere toplam 448 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin çalışma yaşamı, toplumsal yaşam, evlilik yaşamı ve aile yaşamı ile ilgili konularda toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin görüşleri incelendiğinde, önermelerin büyük bir çoğunluğunda cinsiyetler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark (p<0.05) olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç ve öneriler: Araştırmada çalışma yaşamı ve evlilik yaşamı ile ilgili alanlarda erkeklerin daha geleneksel görüşlere sahip oldukları, toplumsal yaşam ve aile yaşamı ile ilgili önermelerde ise kız ve erkek öğrencilerin eşitlikçi görüşlere sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları üniversite son sınıf öğrencilerinin toplumsal cinsiyete ilişkin görüşlerini ortaya koyması açısından önem taşımaktadır. Üniversite eğitiminde toplumsal cinsiyet bakış açısına yönelik hala geleneksel görüşlere sahip olan öğrencilerin olması, aydın bireyler yetiştirmeyi hedefleyen üniversite eğitiminin bu hedefini tam anlamıyla gerçekleştiremediğini ve öğrencilere temel mesleki bilginin yanı sıra toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği konusunda duyarlılık kazandırılması gereğini göstermektedir
The relationship between psychosocial health status and social support of pregnant women
Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between psychosocial health status and social support, which has important effects on pregnancy, and to determine the factors related to both psychosocial health and social support. Method The research was planned to be a descriptive study. The sample of the study consisted of 393 pregnant women. ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale (PPHAS)’, and ‘Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)’ were used to collect data, and Student’s t-test, ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD tests were used for the data analysis. The relationship between the two continuous variables was evaluated according to the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results Psychosocial health conditions and perceived social supports of pregnant women whose spouses were working were determined to be significantly higher (p < .05), and at a lower level (p < .05) in pregnant women with two or more children. As MSPSS total mean scores of the pregnant women increased, their PPHAS total mean scores were weakly affected in the positive direction (r = 0.393, p < .01). Conclusions It is recommended that health care needs of pregnant women should be evaluated not only in terms of physical health but also together with their psychosocial health and social supports. Furthermore, this assessment should be done in their own home environment with their spouses and other family members
