This study was carried out to determine and compare the Lifestyles of final year medicine faculty students attending two different universities.The population of this descriptive type study consists of final year students attending Dicle University Medicine Faculty (DUMF) and Van Yüzüncüyıl University Medicine Faculty (YYUMF). In 2018-2019 academic year, 166 and 84 intern students are attending to DUMF and YYUMF, respectively; hence, through this number, it is aimed to reach all population. In DUMF, 160 and in YYUMF, 62 were contacted. The students were informed; and they confirmed the consent form and a questionnaire containing descriptive information arranged by Walker. Turkish validity and reliability survey, Healthy Lifestyle Behavioural Scale, was carried out by Bahar et al. in 2008; and the students were given “Healthy Lifestyle Behavioural Scale II” (HLSBS-II), and they were asked to respond the questionsThe mean of total scores of HLSBS in DUMF students is 127,85±19,1, while it is 121,42±18,7 in YYUMF students (p=0,04). According to sub groups of HLSBS, the scores that the students gained are as follows: The mean in health responsibility total score of DUMF students is 21,05±4,9, while it is 19,08±4,2 in YYUMF students(p=0,007). The mean in physical activity total score of DUMF students is 16,42±4,9, while it is 17,54±4,6 in YYUMF students (p=0,123). The mean in nourishment total score of DUMF students is 19,08±4,4, while it is 18,80±3,5 in YYUMF students (p=0665). The mean in spiritual development of DUMF students is 26,3±4,5, while it is 24,43±5,8 in YYUMF students (p=0,027). The mean in interpersonal relations of DUMF students is 24,94±4,5, while it is 23,10±3,6 in YYUMF students (p=0,005). The mean in stress management of DUMF students is 19,97±3,6, while it is 19,39±4,5 in YYUMF students (p=0,370). Total HLSBS score of the students whose family income is good is 130,85±17,5, while the total HLSBS score of the ones whose family income is bad is 113,76±18,8(p=0,004). While the total score of physical activity according gender is 17,52±4,9 for men which is higher than women with 15,39±3,8 (p=0,001), inter individual relation total point is higher with women (25,3±4,5) than man (23,91±4,2) (p=0,001).        The fact that the medicine faculty students should lead healthy lifestyle behaviour is important due to the fact that they make a role model for not only themselves but for the society as well. It is thought-provoking that while in normal circumstances 204 score can be obtained from the scale,  medicine faculty intern students have received an average of 127,85 score in HLSBS-II; and while in normal condition, it is possible to get 32 scores in the physical activity sub group; medicine students have received only 16,42 score. In order to make the individuals adopt healthy Lifestyle, the earlier the individuals are provided with education and opportunities, the healthier they will be.

The aim of this study is to determine the OHS knowledge level of employees in a textile factory, to determine the hazards and risks they are exposed to, to determine their effects on their health levels, to evaluate the results of employment and periodic examinations of employees and to develop recommendations. A survey was conducted by interviewing face-to-face with a total of 150 employees, 79 of whom were women and 71 of whom were men, working in the factory. The risk assessment report of the workplace was examined and the identified risks and the environment measurements made accordingly were evaluated. 24% of the participants were younger than 20 years old, 16.7% were employed within one year, 39.3% had four years or less experience. The majority of the participants in the study work in the sewing shop and the majority of the workers (67.1%) are women. Participants of the study; 44.7% of them work sitting and 54.7% of them stand up. The risks that employees are most exposed to; 43.3% constantly repetitive movements, 55% long-term sitting, 17% heavy lifting, 16% continuous standing. 21.3% of the employees stated that they were exposed to at least one accident. Exposure to accidents in order of frequency; These are “hand-finger jamming, crushing”, “hand-foot sharp-penetrating injury” and “low back pain”. In the workplace where risk assessment is carried out; 77 risks were identified, of which 15 were high risk, 58 medium risk, and 4 low risk. The majority of the workers in the textile factory are women, young people and people with low socio-economic level. Constantly repetitive movements, sitting for a long time, lifting heavy loads, standing constantly cause accidents such as "hand-finger jamming, crushing", "hand-foot-cutting-penetrating injury".
