Özet:

 Abstract This study was planned to determine the relationship between midwifery students professional identity perception and their attitudes towards medical errors. The data of this descriptive and correlational study were collected through face-to-face interviews with 453 midwifery students studying at two universities in the Black Sea Region between November 13, 2023 and April 30, 2024. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Midwifery Belonging Scale, and  The Medical Errors Attitude Scale. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0. The relationship between the scales was examined using Spearman correlation analysis. Results with a p-value 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The average age of the students was 21.131.98 years, 96.9 were single, 48.8 were in their second year, 70.0 lived in dormitories, and 32.9 had income less than their expenses. The mean total score of the Midwifery Belonging Scale was 88.5714.86, while the total score of the Attitude Scale towards Medical Errors was 57.718.83. There was a low level of positive linear relationship between students Midwifery Belonging Scale and Attitude Scale towards Medical Errors. In this study, it was found that the professional belonging of midwifery students increased their positive attitudes towards medical errors, but low awareness indicated the need for improvement in education. It is believed that improving professional belonging can enhance error management.

 ÖZ Bu çalışma, ebelik öğrencilerinin mesleki kimlik algısı ile tıbbi hatalara karşı tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Bu tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipteki çalışmanın verileri, 13 Kasım 2023 ile 30 Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında Karadeniz Bölgesindeki iki üniversitede öğrenim gören 453 ebelik öğrencisi ile yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Ebelik Aidiyet Ölçeği ve Tıbbi Hatalarda Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizler SPSS 26.0 kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Ölçekler arası ilişki spearman korelasyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. P değeri 0.05 olan sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.131.98 yıl olup, 96.9u bekar, 48.8i ikinci sınıfta, 70.0ı yurtta kalmakta ve 32.9unun geliri giderinden azdır. Ebelik Aidiyet Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 88.5714.86 iken, Tıbbi Hatalarda Tutum Ölçeği toplam puanı 57.718.83tür. Öğrencilerin Ebelik Aidiyet Ölçeği ile Tıbbi Hatalarda Tutum Ölçeği aralarında düşük düzeyde pozitif yönde doğrusal ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada, ebelik öğrencilerinin mesleki aidiyetinin tıbbi hatalara yönelik olumlu tutumları artırdığı, ancak düşük farkındalığın eğitimin iyileştirilmesi gerektiğini gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Mesleki aidiyetin güçlendirilmesiyle hata yönetiminin iyileştirilebileceği düşünülmektedir.
