In the domain of health sciences, attendance by students at lectures is more critical. Lecture attendance is an issue which has been widely neglected. This study aims to determine those factors which affect the lecture attendance. The research data was collected by means of a questionnaire during the second semester of the academic year 2010-2011 from second-year students of the Faculties of Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Nursing. Together with demographic data, the questionnaire includes a Likert-type scale aiming to determine the factors influencing attendance at lectures. 663 participated in this study on a voluntary basis from Medical, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Nursing Faculties. Raising attainment levels, being able to take their own lecture notes, learning which aspects of the lecture content were being emphasized, and the opportunity to ask questions were amongst the chief reasons for attending lectures. It appears that the factors preventing students from attending lectures are mainly individual. Amongst the most frequently cited causes of non-attendance, sleeplessness, ill health and the inefficiency of lectures in overcrowded halls are emphasized. In the totals and sub-dimensions of the Lecture Attendance Scale, Medical Faculty students have average scores higher than those of students at other faculties. The vital nature of professional expertise and its applications, health sciences students' attendance at lectures carries greater importance. It is important to strengthen the mentoring system with regard to individual and external factors, which have been implicated as having a substantial influence on lecture attendance by students.
在健康科学领域，学生参加讲座更为关键。讲座出勤率是一个一直被广泛忽视的问题。本研究旨在确定那些影响讲座出勤率的因素。研究数据是在2010 - 2011学年第二学期通过问卷调查从医学、药学、牙医学和护理学专业的二年级学生中收集的。问卷除了人口统计学数据外，还包括一个李克特量表，旨在确定影响讲座出勤率的因素。来自医学、牙医学、药学和护理学专业的663名学生自愿参与了本研究。提高学业水平、能够自己做讲座笔记、了解讲座内容的哪些方面被重点强调以及有提问的机会是参加讲座的主要原因。看来，阻止学生参加讲座的因素主要是个人因素。在最常被提及的缺勤原因中，强调了失眠、健康不佳以及拥挤教室中讲座效率低下等问题。在讲座出勤率量表的总分及子维度方面，医学专业的学生平均得分高于其他专业的学生。鉴于专业知识及其应用的至关重要性，健康科学专业的学生参加讲座具有更大的重要性。针对那些被认为对学生讲座出勤率有重大影响的个人和外部因素，加强指导体系很重要。
