The study took place in Ege University Institute of Health Sciences, Turkey, and used a correlated research model to analyse both qualitative and quantitative data. We obtained data from 159 graduate students selected from 437 who graduated between 1 September 2009 and 31 August 2014. From this group, 76 of the theses were published as 141 items. Of these, 93 (66%) were journal articles, of which 51 (36.2%) were published in journals indexed by Science Citation Index (SCI)/SCI‐Expanded/Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). In the multiple regression analysis, we found that employment in a university increased the probability of producing publications from theses by 8.54 times (odds ratio [OR], 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.954–18.440) and that encouragement from a supervisor increased the same by 2.79 times (OR, 95% CI = 1.021–7.640). Reasons for not publishing their theses were classified into 11 items, of which thematic analysis showed that the most prominent reasons were lack of time (n = 18, 24.3%) and workload (n = 15, 20.2%). This suggests that interventions targeting these two factors may result in increased publication of theses.

However, it is very likely that AI applications will acquire many of their roles and generate new tasks in medical care. To be ready for new roles and tasks, medical students and physicians will need to understand the fundamentals of AI and data science, mathematical concepts, and related ethical and medico-legal issues in addition with the standard medical principles. Nevertheless, there is no valid and reliable instrument available in the literature to measure medical AI readiness. In this study, we have described the development of a valid and reliable psychometric measurement tool for the assessment of the perceived readiness of medical students on AI technologies and its applications in medicine.

One of these areas is the field of education, which has an important role in advancing the technologies. Educators often desire to concentrate on their own courses or fields. However, the changing perception of the students and the technologies they are interested in are necessitating educators to follow technological innovations and developments in instructional technologies. The objective of this chapter is to attract attention to some of the global virtual, augmented, and mobile applications that are currently utilized within the medical learning arena. The authors also address technologies that aim to train human resources in health and other fields.

Scores of 1137 students between the years 2007 and 2010 were analyzed. Means and standard deviations were calculated for scores and ratings. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. To analyze reliability and generalizability, multivariate generalizability theory was employed. Students' total and item scores on the objective structured video exam (60.5-68.8) were lower than on the One-Station standardized patient exam (90.4-96.6). Internal consistencies of both exams were moderate. Generalizability analysis and D-study results showed that both the objective structured video exam and the One-Station standardized patient exam need improvement. Both exams need measures to improve them, such as increasing the number of video cases or stations, and further standardization of raters. This study might encourage medical teachers to consider assessing validity and reliability of written and performance exams on the basis of generalizability theory, and to find out feasible actions to improve assessment procedures by conducting a D-study.

Sağlık çalışanlarının, daha mesleksel eğitim aldıkları dönemde yaşam boyu öğrenme ile ilgili tutumlarının bir psikometrik ölçme aracı geliştirilerek belirlenmesi ve bu tutumları etkileyen etmenlerin ortaya çıkarılmasının tıp ve sağlık bilimleri eğitimi veren kurumlara yaşam boyu öğrenen sağlık çalışanları yetiştirme konusunda kuramsal ve sistematik bir yaklaşım ortaya konmasına yardım edebileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Tıp, Diş Hekimliği, Eczacılık ve Hemşirelik Fakülteleri, Ebelik, Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon bölümleri lisans öğrencilerinin ve sağlık alanındaki lisansüstü öğrencilerin yaşam boyu öğrenmeye yönelik tutumları ölçen, geçerli ve güvenilir bir psikometrik ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ölçeğin madde havuzu oluşturulurken; ilgili alan yazından, benzer ölçeklerden ve Ege Üniversitesi Tıp, Diş Hekimliği, Eczacılık, Hemşirelik alanlarında lisans ve kök hücre alanında doktora eğitimi gören birer katılımcı ile yapılan derinlemesine görüşmelerinden faydalanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda oluşturulan 35 madde, ölçek geliştirme ve uygulama deneyimli ve doktora derecesine sahip 11 uzmanın görüşüne sunulmuştur. Geri bildirimler sonrasında iki madde çıkartılarak yerine sekiz madde daha eklenmiş ve oluşturulan 41 maddelik taslak ölçek görünüş geçerliği için Ege Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü'nde lisansüstü eğitim gören 28 kişilik bir gruba pilot olarak uygulanmıştır. Bu taslak ölçek Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Tıp, Diş Hekimliği, Eczacılık ve Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi öğrencilerine (n:555) uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler ile açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) yapılmıştır. AFA yapılırken temel eksenler analizi ve promax eğik döndürme yöntemleri kullanılmış olup. AFA ile ortaya çıkan beş faktörlü 23 maddelik ölçek, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) için Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Tıp ve Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi öğrencilerine (n:253) uygulanarak modelin benzer örneklemlerde gösterdiği uyum değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Ölçekte belirlenen yapıyı ölçmeye yapısal olarak elverişli olduğu belirlenen beş faktör ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu faktörler, sürekli mesleksel gelişime değer verme, mesleksel öğrenmeye istek duyma, yüz yüze öğrenme fırsatlarından yararlanma, mobil cihazlardan yararlanma ve öz değerlendirmedir. Toplam varyansın %59,74'ünü açıklayan 23 maddenin faktör yükleri, 0,849 ile 0,421 aralığında, ortak varyans değerleri ise 0,611 ile 0,360 aralığında değişmektedir. Ölçeğin genel iç tutarlılık katsayısı 0,911 olup alt %27 ve üst %27 grupları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde farklılık görülmüştür (p<0,001). DFA sonucunda modelin, tüm uyum indekslerinin ideal uyum aralıklarında olduğu saptanmıştır (χ²/sd=1,743 SRMR=0,0512; RMSEA=0,054; CFI=0,957; NFI=0,905; GFI=0,888>AGFI=0,858). Sonuç: Kuramsal çerçeveye dayanarak üretilen yaşam boyu öğrenme tutumuna ilişkin bu psikometrik yapı, AFA aracılığıyla geçerliği ve güvenirliği olan bir ölçüm modeline dönüştürülmüştür. Bu modelin, benzer özellikleri taşıyan farklı bir örneklemde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde uyumlu sonuçlar verdiği DFA ile ortaya konmuştur.

Ülkemizde tezler, ulusal tez merkezinde ve üniversitelerin kütüphanelerinde arşivlenmektedir. Tez çalışmalarıyla üretilen bilimsel bilginin, toplumun ve bilim insanlarının erişimine sunulması önemlidir. Tez çalışmalarından yapılan yayınlar, bu araştırmaların tez arşivlerine nazaran daha geniş bilim çevrelerine sunulmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. AMAÇ Bu bildiride, başarıyla tamamlanan tez çalışmalarının yayınlaştırılma durumları ve bu durumları etkileyen faktörleri belirlemeye yönelik yapılan araştırmanın ilk sonuçlarının paylaşılması amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM Ege Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü'nde yürütülen bu çalışmada karma araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamına 1 Eylül 2009-1 Eylül 2014 arasında başarıyla tamamlanan tez çalışmaları alınmıştır. Tez çalışmasını tamamlayan mezunlara (n=437), tezlerinden üretilen yayınlar ve yayınlaştırma durumlarını etkileyen faktörleri ortaya koymayı amaçlayan, beşi görüş almaya ve yayın künye bilgilerini öğrenmeye yönelik açık uçlu sorular olmak üzere çoktan seçmeli 17 sorudan oluşan yapılandırılmış veri toplama aracı, e-posta ile gönderilmiştir. Bu ankete eksiksiz yanıt veren mezunlardan (n=159) elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir.
