“…This finding shows that the students have awareness about the topic, at least in terms of the philosophy and basic concepts of palliative care. In the literature, various other studies conducted using different measurement tools, including the studies of Prem et al (2012), Ronaldson et al (2008), Al Qadire (2014a), Iranmanesh et al (2014), which were conducted with working nurses, and the studies of Al Qadire (2014b), Karkada et al (2011), Divyalasya et al (2014, which were conducted with nursing students, reported the knowledge levels of the philosophy and basic concepts of palliative care, the management of pain and symptoms and spiritual care to be below the medium level.…”

“…An awareness of the concept and an increased level of knowledge are expected as the ultimate outcomes of education. Several studies reported positive developments in the levels of knowledge, attitude, pain management (Divyalasya et al, 2014;Kim et al, 2011), symptom management, and self-efficacy (Adriaansen et al, 2005) after palliative care training was given.…”

Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge of nursing students about palliative care. Methods: The descriptive study was conducted with 324 graduate students who received training at a state university. Data were collected by using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers to determine the students' level of knowledge about palliative care and the notion of death. The analysis was performed using parametric and non-parametric tests on computers. Results: The average age of students was 20.56 ± 1.39, 82.7% of them were female, 16.4% graduated from Healthcare Vocational High School, and 40.1% of them were second grade students. The average palliative care knowledge score of students was calculated as 70.54 ± 11.01. The knowledge scores of female students were significantly higher than male students (p = 0.001), and the scores of the third-and fourth-year students were significantly higher than the second-year students (p = 0.001). The palliative care knowledge scores of the respondents who defined the concept of death as "a new beginning for eternal life, rebirth" were significantly lower than those who defined it as "the end of life" (p = 0.02). Conclusions: It was found that the average palliative care score of students is above the intermediate level, and the scores are affected by gender, level of knowledge, age, grade, having received palliative care training, having provided care to patients in the terminal stage and defining ways of death.

Background: Teratogenicity is a major cause of abortion, still birth and can result in longterm disability with a significant impact on individuals, families, societies and healthcare systems. Drugs being one of the causes of teratogenicity, creating awareness among medical students, the future prescribing physicians, the rate of teratogenicity can be decreased. The objective was to compare the attitude and knowledge about teratogenicity among the medical undergraduates before and after an educational session on teratogenicity.Methods: A pre-validated semi structured questionnaire on attitude and knowledge about teratogenicity was distributed to 2nd year medical students (147) before and after teratogenicity educational session. Results obtained were compared within the group. Paired t test was used for within the group comparison. P-Value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: Improvement in knowledge showed statistically significant improvement following teratogenicity educational session (P-Value=0.0003). Improvement was there in post session attitude scores as well, however, it was not significant (P-Value=0.64).Conclusions: Early reinforcement about teratogenicity in medical students enables them to decide appropriate drug therapy while prescribing for females of reproductive age group.
