Yüksek Öğrenim Öğrencilerinin Sınav Dönemlerinde Devamsızlık Durumları İçin Sağlık Raporu Talepleri: Kesitsel Prevelans Çalışması

Amaç: Bu çalışma, yüksek öğrenim öğrencilerinin sınav dönemlerinde sağlık raporu taleplerini değerlendirmek için tasarlanmıştır.Yöntem: Erciyes Üniversitesi’ne bağlı 14 fakülte ve 9 yüksekokulda öğrenim gören yüksek öğrenim öğrencilerinin sınav dönemlerinde almış oldukları sağlık raporları kantitatif olarak incelendi.Bulgular: Sağlık raporlarının %80,1 oranında en fazla fakülte öğrencilerine, bunlardan da en fazla mühendislik ve fen fakültesinde öğrenim gören öğrencilere düzenlenmiş olduğu bulundu [sırasıyla 786 mühendislik fakültesi öğrencisi (%35,1) ve 435 fen fakültesi öğrencisi (%19,4)].Sonuç: Sağlık raporlarının çoğunlukla sınavların yoğunlaştığı dönemlerde sınavdan muaf olmayı sağlamak amacıyla tıbbi olmayan nedenlerle kısa süreli raporlar şeklinde düzenlenmiş olduğu görüldü.

Demand For Sickness Certificate To Cover Absenteeism in Examinations in Postgraduate Education: A CrossSectinal Prevalence Study

Background: This study was designed to evaluate the postgraduate students’ behavior in demanding sickness certificates for rest in examination periods.Methods: The characteristics of SC was to present an excuse for absenteeism in the mid-term examinations, provided to 14 graduate and 9 undergraduate schools were analyzed quantitatively.Results: The 80.1% (1795) of reports were prescribed for graduate students and of them most frequently delivered sickness certifications were faculty of engineering and faculty of science respectively (786 students 35.1% and 435 students 19.4% respectively).Conclusion: The coexistence of providing sickness certificates for rest in periods in which examinations are concentrated and proposing short periods of rest strongly suggests that non-medical reasons are mostly cause of prescribing rest to cover absenteeism.
