TI  - ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS IN A MEDICAL SCHOOL TOWARDS GENDER ROLES
AB  - The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes of medical students towards gender roles. A cross-sectional study was conducted. The study enrolled voluntary medical students from the 1st and 6th grades of school in University. Out of the 764 students in the study population, results for 518 could be analyzed. Beyond socio-demographic characteristics, students’ awareness of gender roles was measured using the 38-item Gender Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS). The mean age of the students was 21.68±3.04 years. The mean GRAS score of the students were 113.45±7.36. The highest mean score in the GRAS subscales belonged to the “egalitarian gender roles” (33.74±5.78), and the lowest score to the “male gender roles” (12.26±4.51). Females had significantly higher mean total GRAS scores than males. On the other hand, the mean GRAS scores of first-grade students were statistically higher than those of the grade six students The GRAS score was significantly correlated with age (r –0.23, p<0.001). Multiple linear regression was done to investigate the effects of ‎age, female sex, and being first grade on the GRAS scores, where age (t=-1.895; p=0.059) and female sex (t=6.170; p<0.001) revealed significant. Gender role perceptions and attitudes of the society can be changed in a positive way with parent education. Among the subjects of undergraduate medical education, the concept of gender needs to be emphasized more. Raising conscious graduates in terms of gender perceptions can contribute to reducing health inequalities caused by gender.
