Özet:

 Nursing, midwifery, and laboratory schools were established in Erzurum, Sivas, and Izmir, Turkey, in 1952. Originally known as Health College, they were later renamed Health Vocational High Schools in 1976, where health personnel were trained. Initially, these schools were affiliated with the Ministry of Health and located in some provincial centers, but they were subsequently opened in smaller town centers. In 2006, Health Vocational High Schools were transferred from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry of National Education. This change led to an increase in employment opportunities for the graduates, prompting the opening of private schools in 2012. As the number of graduates grew, departments were established within the vocational high schools with titles such as midwife and nurse assistant. The objective of this research is to evaluate the four periods of Health Vocational High Schools based on the perspectives of field teachers. A total of 11 teachers from the field participated in the study. Through qualitative methods and in adherence to ethical principles, the researchers collected and analyzed the teachers opinions. The findings suggest that health education should be structured to acknowledge the importance of high school education over secondary school, with a continuation of this education at the university level. Additionally, participating teachers advocate for the abolition of assistant titles. Instead, they propose the adoption of a more comprehensive title, such as Health Personnel, for graduates from these schools.

 Türkiyede hemşirelik, ebelik ve laborant okulları 1952 yılında Erzurum, Sivas ve İzmirde açılmıştır. İsimleri Sağlık Kolejidir. 1976 yılında isimleri Sağlık Meslek Lisesi olmuştur. Sağlık sektöründe çalışan sağlık personeli hemşire, ebe, laborant, anestezi teknisyeni vb. sağlık meslek lisesi mezunudur. Okullar önceleri Sağlık Bakanlığı bünyesinde bazı il merkezlerinde mezunların iş bulabildiği özel statüde okullar olarak yapılandırılmıştır. Daha sonraki dönemlerde küçük ilçe merkezlerine bile sağlık meslek liseleri açılmıştır. Sağlık Meslek Liseleri 2006 yılında Sağlık Bakanlığından Millî Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı okullara dönüşmüştür. Bu okulların mezunlarının istihdam olanağının fazla olması nedeniyle; 2012 yılında özel okulları açılmıştır. Mezun sayısında meydana gelen artış nedeniyle ebe, hemşire yardımcısı gibi unvanlarla meslek liselerinde bölümler oluşturulmuştur. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada Sağlık Meslek Liselerinin geçirdiği dört dönemi: Sağlık Bakanlığına bağlı dönem, Millî Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı dönem, özel okulların yaygın olduğu dönem, yardımcı unvanlarıyla sağlık personeli yetiştirilen dönem, alan öğretmenlerinin görüşleriyle değerlendirilmesi araştırmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Görüşme tekniği kullanılan araştırmanın çalışma grubunda 11 öğretmen bulunmaktadır. Katılımcılar lise öğrenimini Sağlık Meslek Liselerinde geçirmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin elde edilmesinde yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılardan elde edilen bilgiler betimsel analiz yoluyla, alt temalara ayrılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularında, katılımcılar sağlık alanı lise eğitiminin, devamında üniversite eğitimi olacak şeklinde planlanması, yardımcı unvanlarının kalkması gerektiği düşüncesindedirler. Öğrenciler stajlarını hastanelerde yapmaktadır. Bu unvanlar hastanelerde yoktur. Yardımcı unvanlarının yerine Sağlık Elemanı gibi genel bir unvanla okullardan mezun olunabileceği önerilmektedir.
