The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of bicycle helmet use among college students and health beliefs about bicycle helmet attitude. Turkish university students (n = 799). : This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted over the period 2019. A sociodemographic and cycling related questionnaire form and the Bicycle Helmet Attitudes Scale were used in the data collection. Descriptive statistics, t-test, Anova and Kruskal Wallis tests were used in the statistical analysis. : Only 10.4% of students wear a bicycle helmet. Students who using bicycle helmets had higher benefit health belief scores compared to those who didn't, while barrier health belief scores were lower. There is a significant relationship between health belief scores for bicycle helmet attitude and gender, obeying traffic rules, thinking about helmet (unnecessary/disturbing/expensive/ridiculous) and helmet use. : In this study, the frequency of using bicycle helmets is very low.
本研究旨在确定大学生自行车头盔使用率和对自行车头盔态度的健康信念。研究对象为土耳其大学生(n=799)。这是一项描述性和横断面研究,于 2019 年进行。在数据收集过程中,使用了一份社会人口统计学和与自行车相关的问卷表以及自行车头盔态度量表。统计分析采用描述性统计、t 检验、方差分析和克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验。只有 10.4%的学生戴自行车头盔。与不戴头盔的学生相比,戴头盔的学生具有更高的健康信念得分,而障碍健康信念得分则较低。自行车头盔态度的健康信念得分与性别、遵守交通规则、考虑头盔(不必要/干扰/昂贵/荒谬)和头盔使用之间存在显著关系。在这项研究中,自行车头盔的使用率非常低。
