Abstract :Objective: The `Disabled Friendly Campus` is relatively new consept in the world. In this study we aimed to evaluate the awareness of preclinical medical students about the Disabled Friendly Campus. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted at a public university’s Faculty of Medicine Campus. In our study, 362 students were included and the data were obtained between March and June 2019. A questionnaire was prepared in the light of the literature. In the first part of the questionnaire, socio-demographic features were questioned; In the second part of the questionnaire there were 13 questions about the arrangements required for a disabled person on a campus. Answer options such as 1= I don`t agree, 2= I have no idea and 3= I agree. The score varied between 13-39, and as the total score obtained increases, it was assumed that the awareness of Disabled Friendly Campus will increase. Results: In our study 3.3% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 12); of the participants had any disability, and 18.2% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 66); had a disabled person in their family. A statistically significant difference was observed between the participants` disabled friendly campus awareness scores according to their gender, class, their participation in an activity related to disabled people and whether they found their campuses suitable for disabled people.
