    AimUniversities responsive to social changes can change rapidly and correctly and reflect these changes in the programs and institutions that are intertwined with society. Program development, in accordance with the requirements of the profession, is integrated with program evaluation studies. The objective of the present study is to evaluate expectations and needs of stakeholders of Nutrition and Dietetic programs in Turkey. MethodsThirty-four Nutrition and Dietetics programs in Turkey were analysed qualitatively in terms of their historical background, present status, program structure, and knowledge and skills offered through courses. After identification of the stakeholders (participants) of the programs, they were given questionnaires and interviews to provide their opinions about the program. The total number of participants in the present study was 408; 34.3% are students, 22.1% are dietitians, 17.2% are patients and clients, 13% are instructors, 12.2% are cooks and waiters, and 1.2% are managers. ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) among students, dietitians and instructors in evaluating the programs' competency providing basic qualifications aimed through theory, practice and extra field courses. The same difference occurred for the degree they find important skills and knowledge for the profession. Majority of the stakeholders agreed the programs should include more practice courses on work-related knowledge and skills. ConclusionsPrograms should be reviewed in accordance with the needs and expectations of stakeholders. Segments of society affected by the program should actively participate in future program studies.

    (2016) Unlu, Hayriye; Beduk, Tulin; Duyan, Veli; 0000-0002-8662-7415; 0000-0003-4316-5756; 0000-0002-4514-9381; 27349619; AAG-1932-2020; AAU-9733-2021; M-7630-2018; B-7765-2018
    Aims and objectives. This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students towards lesbian women and gay men. Background. Nursing education in Turkey is conducted holistically; in other words, it is an integration of the physical, spiritual, mental and social realms. Students are therefore expected to not express any discrimination due to factors such as religion, language, race and gender. However, some serious problems still exist in terms of the practical applications of that philosophy. Design. This study was descriptive. Methods. This study included 964 students. The Attitudes towards Lesbian Women and Gay Men scale and a questionnaire were used to learn about the attitudes of undergraduate nursing students regarding gay men and lesbian women. Results. Results of this study have indicated that the attitudes of religiously educated and/or conservative students towards lesbian women and gay men were negative. Female students from families with high incomes and highly educated families attended social activities and read more than other female students. The students with free life choice options expressed very positive attitudes towards gay men. Conclusion. The nursing education curriculum should cover information about patients with diverse sexual orientations and their absolute rights for equally optimal healthcare. Strategies to discourage traditional gender role stereotypes and educational and media experiences for better acceptance of sexual minorities need to be developed by educational policy makers. Antidiscrimination policies protecting lesbian women and gay men should be developed by the legislative authorities and then taught to students during their nursing education. Getting familiar with diverse sexual orientations might create awareness among nursing students and reduce their attitudinal and behavioural prejudices and biases. Relevance to clinical practice. To provide equal healthcare services for all patients, nurses must have accurate information about lesbian women, gay men and modify their attitude and behaviour accordingly.
