Özet

ABSTRACT Opinions of students about current medical law application were investigated. Students (n=401) who participated in this study were enrolled in the health management undergraduate programs of various public and private universities. The data regarding important topics of medical law were gathered by questionnaires. In this study, the determination of the student concerns and some of their effects have been evaluated. It was found that the participants believed that patients tend to file lawsuits at high rates; current laws are not sufficient to protect healthcare workers; and regulations seem to protect patients more than health professionals. Legal refrain in health care workers may lead to behaviors that impede institutional goals and detract from patient-centered approaches.
