ÖZET
 Amaç: Türkiye'de, sağlık yönetimi ve sağlık kurumları işletmeciliği programlarında öğrenim gören öğrencilerin, sağlık politikalarıyla ilgili bilgi düzeylerini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, Kasım 2018- Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında, 2'si devlet ve 1'i vakıf olmak üzere 3 üniversitedeki toplam 588 gönüllü öğrenci üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiş tanımlayıcı tipte bir araştırmadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmış olan anket kullanılmıştır. Anket, kişisel bilgilerine yönelik 9 sorudan ve bilgi düzeylerinin ölçülebilmesine yönelik hazırlanmış çoktan seçmeli 25 sorudan oluşmaktadır. Çoktan seçmeli sorular için, doğru verilen her yanıt 4 puan, toplam alınabilecek en yüksek puan 100'dür. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve ki-kare analizleri (yerine göre Pearson ki-kare ya da Fisher exact test) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim görenler vakıf üniversitesindekilere göre, sağlık yönetimi bölümü (4 yıllık) öğrencilerinin sağlık kurumları işletmeciliği programındakilere (2 yıllık) göre, üst sınıfta okuyanların alt sınıftakilere göre, genel not ortalaması yüksek olanların, düşük olanlara göre, sağlık politikalarıyla ilgili ders almış olanların almayanlara göre ve güncel gelişmeleri takip edenlerin etmeyenlere göre daha başarılı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin, sağlık politikaları hakkında bilgi düzeylerine yönelik sorulan sorulara verdikleri yanıtlara göre, en yüksek puan 60 olmak üzere, tüm öğrencilerin ortalama puanı 100 üzerinden 27,2 (±11,6)'dir. Sonuç: Çalışmada, öğrencilerin birtakım değişkenler doğrultusunda birbirlerine göre başarılı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmasına rağmen sorulara verdikleri yanıtlara göre bilgi düzeylerinin düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin, derslerinde aldığı teorik eğitimlerin yanı sıra sağlık politikalarıyla ilişkili farklı kaynaklardan yararlanması ve konuya ilişkin güncel gelişmeleri takip etmeleri önerilmektedir. Ayrıca sağlık politikaları dersinin tek yönlü öğretimden ziyade interaktif bir şekilde işlenmesi, öğrencilerin ilgisini çekecek şekilde farklı öğretim tekniklerinin de kullanılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Sağlık politikası; sağlık yönetimi; sağlık yönetimi eğitimi; bilgi düzeyi
ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study aims to examine the knowledge levels of students studying in healthcare management and health institutions management programs about health policies. Material and Methods: The study was descriptive and performed in three universities, two of state, and one is a foundation, with 588 voluntary students from November 2018 to December 2018. The questionnaire prepared by the authors was used as a data collection tool. The questionnaire consists of 9 questions about personal information and 25 multiple-choice questions prepared to measure knowledge levels. For multiple-choice questions, each correct answer is 4 points, and the highest total score is 100. Descriptive statistics and chisquare analysis (Pearson chi-swquare or Fisher's exact test according to the situation) were used in the analysis of the data. Results: According to the answers, the highest score is 60. The average score of all students is 27.2 (±11.6) out of 100. It determined that students studying at public universities are more successful than those at foundation university. Healthcare Management (4 year) students are in the Healthcare Management program (2 years) are more successful than those at health institutions management (two-year). On the other hand, It determined that those who study in the upper class, those with high GPA, those who have taken courses on health policies, and those who follow current developments are successful. Conclusion: Although it was concluded in the research that the students were successful according to some variables, their level of knowledge was low compared to their answers. It is recommended that students can benefit from different sources related to health policies and follow the current developments on the subject. In addition, it is thought that the course of health policies should be interactive rather than one-way teaching, and different teaching techniques should be used to attract students' attention.
