Abstract:
Many occupational diseases can be prevented or at least mitigated, highlighting the importance of including occupational health education in medical curricula. We aimed to evaluate the knowledge levels of sixth-year students before and after occupational health courses, assess the effectiveness of teaching sessions, and identify necessary improvements in the presentations as part of our self-criticism. Pre- and post-training tests covering key aspects of occupational safety and health and occupational diseases, along with questions regarding students' opinions about the courses, were administered using the Kahoot application. Of 207 students, 191 (92.2%) participated in the study over six months within one academic year. An increase was observed in the number of students who answered all questions correctly after lectures. Additionally, 72.2% found the lecture duration sufficient, while 83.3% reported increased awareness. The study pinpointed the topics where mistakes were most frequent and highlighted these more effectively in future presentations.
