Özet:

This study has been carried out to define the views of health care students about home care services. The descriptive study includes 181 students out of 332 students who agreed to participate in research studying at Fazıl Boyner Vocational School of Health at Kastamonu University. “Data Collection Form Defining Opinions about Home-Care Services” developed by Çoban is used in the research. There are 41 items in the data collection form. 82,3% of the students having participated in the study are females, 17,7% are males, 11,0% are in their 1st year; 31,5% are in their 2nd year; 23,2% are in their 3rd year and 34,3% are in their 4th year; 71,3% of female students have agreed on the item “Home care services decreases the possibility of infection”, 12,7% of male students have  also agreed on the same item (p>0,05), and based on the class variables, 28,7% of 4th year students have agreed and 27,1% of the 2nd year students have been identified to have agreed on the very item (χ2=9,060; p>0,05). There has been no difference observed between genders as to the item “Patients receiving health-care services at home recover faster” (p>0,05) and it has also been stated that according to the class variables, the tendency to agree with the items increases in line with the increasing level of class year (p<0,05). As the level of class increases, the tendency of agreeing on the item increases significantly (p<0,05). Based on the research findings, the indeterminacy of students about the items stated in the data form and the origins of their negative opinions in agree/disagree parts should be searched, and it is suggested that more comprehensive education and access to more praxis fields shall leave a positive impact on the nursing students.
