Özet:

Aim: It is aimed to determine the attitudes and behaviors of physicians who receive family medicine research assistant training in Ankara province regarding academic literacy and to reveal the factors affecting them. Material and Methods: 188 Family Medicine research assistants studying in Ankara were included in the study. A 23-question survey and Academic Literacy Scale (ALS) forms were sent to the participants electronically. Results: 68.62% of the participants got educated on scientific research in their institution and 36.18% outside their institution, 59.0% of physicians have never attended a congress during their residency training and 67.61% of them had never been a researcher in scientific research. ALS scores of those who were trained in scientific research in a course, congress and symposium or at the hospital they work in were found to be significantly higher (p<0.05). As the frequency of article reading increased, it was observed that the scale scores increased significantly (p<0.05). Conclusion: We found that the participation rates of the research assistants in scientific meetings such as congresses and courses, the number of articles they read, and the number of those who obtained information by using scientific databases were low. We would like to draw attention to the importance of academic literacy in Family Medicine education and to emphasize the importance of assistants to engage in scientific activities from the first years of residency.
