Absenteeism is occasionally raised as an issue by attending students who resent others “getting away” with non-attendance and some formal documents appear to suggest that attendance should be mandated. This article researches to explore non-attendance from the perspective of absent students in anatomy classes of health sciences.Material and Method: The research data was collected from freshman year students of Ataturk Vocational School of Health Science by means of a questionnaire during the anatomy classes of the academic year 2016–2017. Together with the demographic data, the questionnaire includes a Likert-type scale aiming to determine the factors influencing attendance at lectures.Results: 198 students participated in this study on a voluntary basis from different programs such as anesthesia, audiometry, dialysis, first aid and emergency and operating service.
