Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is the identification of students’ perspectives and self-sufficiency in theoretical and professional practice education who study in Health Services Vocational School.
Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional and descriptive research sample comprised 687 students who studied during the 2021-2022 academic year at Çukurova University, Mersin University, and Toros University. The data obtained from the criteria were analyzed in the SPSS 21.0 program. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum values were given in descriptive statistics. “Independent sample t-test” and “One way ANOVA” analysis were used to compare groups. The value p<0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
Results: The average age and gender of students who attended this study are 21.44±3.03 and %76.1, respectively. It was determined that 83.4% of the students were in the second year, 39.2% were studying at Toros University, 36.5% at Mersin University, and 24.3% at Çukurova University. 74.9% of the students reported that they practiced in hospitals. 88.3% of the students stated that professional practice gives professional experience, 73.7% said that the theoretical education provided at the school is sufficient to communicate effectively with the patients in the institutions, and 80.8% of the students stated that the employees trust the students.
Conclusion: It was revealed that the self-efficacy levels of the students were quite high. It was observed that the students who evaluated the theoretical and professional practice training positively perceived their self-efficacy levels higher. Focusing on education and practices that would improve students' perceived self-efficacy was suggested.
