Methods: Focus group discussions were held with third-grade medical students. The analyses were implemented using Creswell's six-step qualitative data analysis. Results: During the data analysis, themes with the following titles were identified: necessity of the education, content, education methods, assessment, participation, contribution of the education, moving to clinical training and suggestions. Discussion: The students stated that the discussions on movies/ books/case-based scenarios are more useful than lectures. Although they believed that student assessment was necessary for the medical ethics education, they had negative attitudes towards Multiple Choice Questions. At the stage of moving to the clinical training, their feelings and thoughts about the learning outcomes they would gain from ethical education were contradictory. Conclusion: Each theme and code obtained from the students' expressions may contribute to improving medical ethics education for all institutions. Besides student education, it is also necessary the faculty development programs on medical ethics education for clinical teachers. Additionally, further studies can be conducted on the actions that need to be taken to help students internalize the ethical issues and feel the need of learning more.

Yöntem: Türkiye'de HIV pozitif bireylerde yapılmış çalışmalara 1 Kasım 2015 tarihinde Pubmed, Türk Medline, Ulakbim veri tabanları ve Türk HIV/AIDS dergisi taranarak ulaşıldı. Bulgular: Ulaşılan 204 çalışmanın %89.1'i gözlemsel tanımlayıcı çalışmaydı. En sık çalışma tipi olgu sunumuydu (%48.5). Analitik çalışmalar en sık kesitsel tipteydi (%23.7). Makalelerin %67.2'si Türkçe, %32.8'i İngilizce yayınlanmıştı. Çalışmaların %92.6'sı genel hasta grubunda yapılmıştı. Olgu sunumu/serisi tipindeki çalışmaların konuları en sık fırsatçı enfeksiyonlar (%41.3) ve komplikasyonlar (%16.3); diğer çalışmaların konuları en sık HIV/AIDS epidemiyolojisi (%18.1) ve tedaviydi (%17.0). Çalışmaların %47.1'i tek uzmanlık alanı tarafından yürütülmüştü. İlk isim yazarların %76.9'u Ankara, İstanbul veya İzmir'de; %55.4'ü üniversite hastanesinde, %37.3'ü eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde çalışmaktaydı. Uzmanlık alanları en sık enfeksiyon hastalıkları ve klinik mikrobiyoloji (%47.1) ve tıbbi mikrobiyolojiydi (%22.1). Türkçe makalelerin %33.8'inde "HIV'li/AIDS'li hasta/olgu, HIV enfeksiyonlu olgu/hasta'' ifadeleri kullanılmıştı, ancak bu ifadenin kullanımı zaman içinde azalma eğilimi göstermekteydi (p trend= 0.007). Sonuç: Türkiye'de HIV pozitif bireylerde genel hasta grubu dışındaki bireyleri daha fazla ele alan, analitik tipte, çok disiplinli, ulusal düzeyde ve görece az çalışılmış konularda çalışmalar yürütülmelidir.

A cross-sectional and longitudinal study, with data collected via a questionnaire. 'Friends' were most often mentioned as the source of their personal sexual information by students on both occasions. Use of the 'internet' increased significantly during the five years. Pornography and health professionals/specialists' also gained in importance but remained among the less frequently used sources of information. The most frequent factor affecting sexual attitudes and behaviour for both years was 'my own desire and values'. Most (74.8%) interns had taken only a few sexual health histories and 16.5% never; 35% believed their education would enable them to take one. Nearly half (48.5%) said being a medical student changed their opinions on sexuality and 25.7% said they changed their behaviour. Although changes were observed in sexual attitudes, behaviour and opinions between the two questionnaires many problems still exist. This study may add to the improvement of medical education regarding sexual health education and its practices.
