Abstract

|
Purpose: This research was designed to investigate the effects of forensic education and autopsy attitude of nursing students.
Methods: Data on autopsy attitude were determined and collected by means of a self-reporting questionnaire including 14 questions on perception of a need for an autopsy and 11 questions on resistance to autopsy, the respondents being 846 nursing students. The collected data were analyzed by means of an independent t-test with one-way ANOVA in an SPSS WIn 18.0 program.
Results: The perception of a need for an autopsy was 4.06 on average and resistance to autopsy was 2.64 on average. The nursing students taking a forensic course showed a relatively higher level of perception of the need for an autopsy (t=-5.63, p<.001) than those not attending such a course (t=2.93, p<.001). Perception of the need for an autopsy and resistance to autopsy show a negative correlation (r=- .382, p=.003).
Conclusion: A forensic medicine course raises the level of perception of the need for an autopsy by nursing students and reduces the level of resistance to autopsy.
