Abstract
Objective: In this study, we aimed to detect the attitudes towards gender roles and predictors of such attitudes in the first and sixth grade medical school students affiliated at the Dokuz Eylul University School of Medicine. Material and method: The Gender Roles Attitude Scale was used in the current study. Both the scale and the data collection sheet was applied to the students in classess or in a study environment. Results: In total, 99 participants were enrolled in the study. Fifty of them (50.5%) were at the first year and 51 (51.5%) were women. Mean age was 21.8 years. There were no significant differences in terms of the total scores of The Gender Roles Attitude Scale between the first and the sixt grade students. However, women had significantly higher total scale scores and sub-scale scores when compared to men (p<0.05). Total scale score was 15.5 points higher in women than in men when the analysis was controlled for other covariates. Higher female gender roles score was related with the education of mother. Every 5 years of increase in the duration of the education of mother increased the sub-scale score approximately 1.2 points. Conclusion: In conclusion, we found that egalitarian attitudes were not related with the educaton. Rather, it was related with being woman and duration of the education of mother. Therefore, it is important to revise medical curriculum to promote egaliterian gender roles attitude.
