ÖZET
 Amaç: Çalışmamızda, odyologların yenilikçilik fikirlerine karşı davranışlarını ölçmek, günlük çalışma hayatına yenilikçilik kavramını yansıtma düzeylerini ortaya koymak, gelişen teknoloji ile terapi süreçlerindeki yeniliklere göre kendilerini değiştirme seviyelerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tasarımdaki araştırma, Türkiye'de çalışan en az 1 yıldır mesleğini yapmakta olan 205 odyolog ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak ''kişisel bilgi formu' ve ''Bireysel Yenilikçilik Ölçeği (BYÖ)'' kullanılmıştır. BYÖ'nün puanlaması yenilikçiler, öncüler, sorgulayıcılar, kuşkucular ve gelenekçiler olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda yapılan güvenilirlik analizinde, Cronbach alfa değeri dikkate alınmıştır. Çıkan değerin 0,703 olması ile ölçeğimizin güvenilir olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan katılımcıların %7,8 yenilikçi, %17,1'i öncü, %45,9'u sorgulayıcı, %19,5'i kuşkucu, %9,8'inin gelenekçi olduğu bulunmuştur. Odyologların bireysel yenilikçilerini etkileyen faktörlere bakıldığında; cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim, çalışma yeri, çalışma süresi ve meslek ile alakalı seminerlere katılım değişkenlerine göre bireysel yenilikçilik puanları anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemektedir (p>0,05). Katılımcıların ''Meslekte Çalışma Süresi'' ile ''BYÖ'' ve ''Yeniliklere Açık Olma'' sorusu arasındaki ilişki ''Spearman korelasyon testi'' ile ölçülmüş olup anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmemiştir (p>0,05). Sonuç: BYÖ ile yapılan çalışmada, odyologların çoğunluğunun ''Sorgulayıcı'' kategorisinde çıktığı gözlenmiştir. Sorgulayıcılar, yeniliğe karşı olmayıp temkinli davranan kişilerdir. Yeni fikirleri sorgulamakta, değişimi kabullenme ve risk alma konusunda emin adımlarla ilerlemektedirler. Çalışmamız, odyologların yenilikçiliğe bakışı üzerine yapılmış ilk çalışma olması yönünden literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: In our study, it was aimed to measure the behavior of audiologists towards innovative ideas, to reflect the concept of innovation in their daily work, and to determine the level of selfchange in therapy processes with developing technology. Material and Methods: The research in descriptive design was carried out with 205 audiologists who have been working in Türkiye for at least 1 year. ''Personal information form'' and ''Individual Innovation Scale'' were used as data collection tools. The scores of the Individual Innovation Scale were classified as innovators, pioneers, questioners, skeptics, and traditionalists. Results: In the reliability analysis, the Cronbach alpha value was taken into account. Our scale was found to be reliable with the resulting value being 0.703. It was found that 7.8% of the participants participating in the study were innovative, 17.1% pioneering, 45.9% questioning, 19.5% skeptical, 9.8% traditionalist. Considering the factors affecting the individual innovators of audiologists; It was determined that gender, age, education, place of work, working time and participation in occupational seminars did not affect the variables (p>0.05). The relationship between the participants'' ''Working Time in the Profession'' and the ''Individual Innovation Scale'' and the ''Openness to Innovation'' question was measured with the ''Spearman correlation test'' and no significant relationship was observed (p>0.05). Conclusion: In accordance with the Individual Innovation Scale, it was observed that the majority of audiologists were in the ''Questioning'' category. Inquisitors are cautious people who are not against innovation. They question new ideas, take firm steps towards accepting change and taking risks. This study is important because it is the first study on audiologists.
