Aim: This research was designed to conclude the distrust levels in the health system among students of the health science faculty.Method: This descriptive study was conducted at a foundation university in Istanbul. The population of the research consisted of students studying in various departments of the Faculty of Health Sciences between 15 May and 15 June 2024; the data collection process was completed with 419 students who voluntarily agreed to participate. Information were gathered through a private information sheet and the Health System Distrust Spectrum, and analyzed using percentage, constancy, mathematically, seperate specimens t-test, particular ANOVA, and Bonferroni tests.Results: According to the research findings, it was concluded that the distrust level in the health system among health science faculty students is at a medium level (x̄=2.98). Additionally, while students in the health management department expressed greater commitment in the health system in contrast with students from other departments (x̄=2.75), the greatest level of distrust in the health system was observed among nursing students (x̄=3.19).Conclusion: Upon examining the research results, it was found that the average rank of distrust in the health system among participants is at a medium level. Given that these students will become integral parts of the health system upon graduation and will play significant roles in the development of health policies, it is possible the medium rank of distrust in the health system can lead to hazardous outcomes concerning the health systems in which they will be stakeholders; thus, it can be regarded as one of the important problems that needs to be directed.
