Abstract:

Objective: The purpose of this study was an evaluation of the reliability and validity of a scale for medical students’ attitudes towards the social dimensions of health and preventive services. Method: 255 (72.9%) out of 350 fourth-year and 304 (83.9%) out of 83.9% of 362 sixth-year students in Ege University Medical Faculty participated the study at the beginning of the 2005-2006 academic-year. The reliability and validity of the scale, which was developed by the researchers, were assessed by Cronbach-alpha coefficients and factor-analysis. Results: Three factors emerged (the importance of preventive services; the importance of the social dimensions of health; responsibilities in preventive services) from the factor analysis. These factors explained 48.4% of the total variance. Cronbach alpha value was 0.77. Conclusion: The scale developed and evaluated in this study is a reliable, valid and practicable tool which can be used in the assessment of medical students’ attitudes.
