Abstract

Anatomy education is very important for physician candidates studying in many branches of medicine and health. After the theoretical lectures, many different methods such as special study modules, problem-based training, three-dimensional digital visuals, plastic models and cadaver dissections are applied. Among these methods, cadaver dissection training has a special importance in anatomy teaching and its contribution to students' acquisition and integration of three-dimensional anatomy knowledge is undeniable. But unfortunately, the supply of cadavers in the world and in our country is quite insufficient. Although there are still significant differences between countries in this regard, cultural and religious reasons cause these differences. The purpose of this review is to reveal the current situation of cadaver donation in our country and in the world, to present the relevant legal regulations regarding body donation, to emphasize the role of cadavers in anatomy education and to guide people who want to donate. Human bodies will be needed today as well as in the future to provide medical undergraduate and postgraduate education and to use them in biomedical research. Starting from this point; We believe that body donation should be adopted wherever possible and successful donation programs should be established and supported.

BEDEN BAĞIŞI VE ANATOMİ EĞİTİMİNDEKİ ÖNEMİ

Abstract

Anatomi eğitimi tıp ve sağlıkla ilgili birçok dalda eğitim gören hekim adayları için oldukça önemlidir. Teorik ders öğretileri sonrasında, özel çalışma modülleri, probleme dayalı eğitimler, üç boyutlu dijital görseller, plastik maket modelleri ve kadavra disseksiyonları gibi birçok farklı yöntemler uygulanmaktadır. Bu yöntemler içerisinde kadavra disseksiyon eğitimlerinin, anatomi öğretisinde ayrı bir önemi vardır ve öğrencilerin üç boyutlu anatomi bilgisini edinmelerine ve bütünleştirmelerine katkısı yadsınamaz. Ama ne yazık ki dünyada ve ülkemizde kadavra temini oldukça yetersizdir. Bu konuda ülkeler arasında hala önemli farklılıklar bulunmakla beraber, kültürel ve dini nedenler bu farklılıklara sebep olmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, kadavra bağışının ülkemiz ve dünyadaki mevcut durumunu ortaya koymak, beden bağışına ilişkin ilgili yasal düzenlemeleri sunmak, kadavranın anatomi eğitimindeki rolünü vurgulamak ve beden bağışı yapmak isteyen kişilere yol gösterici olmaktır. Tıp mezuniyet öncesi ve sonrası eğitimini sağlamak ve biyomedikal araştırmalarda kullanmak için insan bedenlerine günümüzde olduğu gibi gelecekte de ihtiyaç duyulacaktır. Bu noktadan yola çıkarak; beden bağışı uygulamasının mümkün olan her yerde benimsenmesi ve başarılı bağış programlarının oluşturulması ve desteklenmesi gerektiği düşüncesindeyiz.
