Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin yaşadığı sağlık iletişimi sorunlarını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışmanın evrenini sağlık kuruluşlarından hizmet alan, Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesinde öğrenim gören 2.695 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemini 400 öğrenci oluşturmakta olup tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi ile katılımcılar belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Yeşildal, Akman Dömbekci ve Öztürk tarafından geliştirilen Sağlık İletişimi Sorunları Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında ölçeğin Cronbach alfa değeri 0,809 olarak bulunmuştur. Çalışma ile hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinin (Ort.=2,69) iletişim engelleri düzeyi sağlık yönetimi (Ort. =2,97), fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon (Ort.=2,99) ve beslenme ve diyetetik öğrencilerine (Ort.=2,98) göre daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Sağlıkta iletişim sorunları ölçeği ve sosyal iletişim alt boyut düzeyleri öğrencilerin eğitim aldıkları bölüme göre istatistiksel olarak farklılık göstermemektedir (p>0,05). Sağlıkta iletişim sorunları ölçeği ve alt boyut ortalama puanları cinsiyete, sınıfa, sağlık kurumuna başvuru sayısına ve aile türüne göre istatistiksel olarak farklılık göstermemektedir. Etkili iletişim alt boyutu ile sosyal iletişim (r=0,370) ve iletişim engelleri (r=0,483) alt boyutları arasında pozitif yönlü düşük kuvvetli bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Sosyal iletişim alt boyutu ile iletişim engelleri alt boyutları arasında (r=0,324) düşük kuvvetli pozitif yönlü bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda, sağlık iletişimi stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi ve alanda karşılaşılan sorunların çözümüne yönelik bütüncül, disiplinler arası ve uygulamaya dönük yaklaşımların benimsenmesi gerektiği, bu sayede hem sağlık hizmetlerinin niteliğinin artacağı hem de hasta ile sağlık çalışanı arasındaki etkileşimi güçlendirerek, daha etkili ve insani bir sağlık hizmeti sunumunun mümkün kılacağı düşünülmektedir.
