This study uses method to determine the levels of sport attitude of vocational school of health students in various health departments. It is important to determine the sports attitude level of university students. Socio-demographic information form of students consisting of 8 items was created to examine the attitude of students studying in the field of exercise, sports and health, which are among the main factors of health. In the second part of the questionnaire, "Sport-Oriented Attitude Scale" was used which is composed of 28 items and 3 sub-dimensions and validity and reliability study of the scale was performed by Şentürk (2015). A total of 382 people, 25.9% male and 74.1% female participated. Results revealed that sport attitude scores of males are higher than females’, and a statistically significant difference was found (p<0.5). Participants who were 28 years old and above had higher scores than others in terms of being interested in sport (p<0.006), giving importance to sport (p<0.027) and doing sport actively (p<0.017) and there was a statistically significant difference between them. However, a statistically significant difference was observed between the individuals’ sport status, their income level, place of residence, age and gender.

<em>Background</em>. Our aim was to investigate the pattern of self reported symptoms and utilisation of health care services in Norway. <em>Design and methods.</em> With data from the cross-sectional Tromsø Study (2007-8), we estimated population proportions reporting symptoms and use of seven different health services. By logistic regression we estimated differences according to age and gender. <em>Results</em>. 12,982 persons aged 30-87 years participated, 65.7% of those invited. More than 900/1000 reported symptoms or health problems in a year as well as in a month, and 214/1000 and 816/1000 visited a general practitioner once or more in a month and a year, respectively. The corresponding figures were 91/1000 and 421/1000 for specialist outpatient visits, and 14/1000 and 116/1000 for hospitalisations. Physiotherapists were visited by 210/1000, chiropractors by 76/1000, complementary and alternative medical providers by 127/1000, and dentists by 692/1000 in a year. Women used most health care services more than men, but genders used hospitalisations and chiropractors equally. Utilisation of all services increased with age, except chiropractors, dentists and complementary and alternative medical providers. <em>Conclusions</em>. Almost the entire population reported health related problems during the previous year, and most residents visited a general practitioner. Yet there were high rates of inpatient and outpatient specialist utilisation. We suggest that wide use of general practitioners may not necessarily keep patients out of specialist care and hospitals.
