Abstract: Health professional students hold less positive attitudes than SADP norms. Nursing undergraduate students were at greater risk of holding negative attitudes. Work experience was important for comfort with challenging rehabilitation situations. Specific educational experiences are needed to promote more positive attitudes.

“…This is consistent with the findings of Tervo et al [20], Boyle et al [21] as well as Sinai et al [22]. Even though students in the OT program, from Igbo tribe and 4 th year of study exhibited more positive attitude toward PWDs, this attitude statistically do not differ across nor is it associated with any of their sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, tribe, program, and level of study).…”

“…Yıldırım ve arkadaşlarının (19) hemşirelik öğrencileri ile yaptığı araştırmada (2011), sonuçlar benzer şekilde eğitiminin son dönemlerinde olan yaş-ları göreceli olarak daha büyük ve kadın öğrencilerin engelli bireylere yönelik tutumları anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulunmuştur. Tervo ve Palmer'in (21) tıp fakül-tesi öğrencileri ile yaptığı çalışmada (2004), cinsiyet açısından benzer sonuçlara ulaşmış ve kadın öğrenci-lerin tutumlarının erkek öğrencilere göre daha olumlu yönde olduğu görülmüştür.…”

“…Ailede engelli bireyin olmasının engellilere yönelik tutumla ilişkisinin incelendiği bazı araştırma-larda (19,26,27) anlamlı sonuçlara ulaşılmamış ve bu çalışma ile benzer sonuçlara ulaşıldığı görülmüştür. Ancak, literatürdeki farklı bazı çalışmalarda ailesinde engelli olan bireylerin engellilere yönelik tutumları-nın olumlu yönde olduğuna dair sonuçlar bulunmaktadır (18,21,22,25) . Çalışmada yaş, cinsiyet, sınıf ve ailede engeli birey varlığı ile bakım yükü arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmazken, aktif olarak çalışan öğrencilerin engelli hastaların bakım yükünün diğer hastalardan daha fazla olduğunu düşündükleri saptandı.…”

“…Of particular importance were suggestions that the video clip helped students recognise their stereotypical attitudes towards people with chronic illness. These were not necessarily negative although it has been proposed that students enter the nursing profession with preconceived ideas about chronic illness which in turn may have a detrimental effect on patients' self-concept and illness experience (Cervantez Thompson, Emrich, and Moore 2003;Shaw 2010;Tervo 2004). Well-designed curriculums incorporating personal encounters and engagement with people with potentially stigmatising conditions outside the clinical environment as well as within may encourage professional attitudes and serve to negate any stereotypical ideas (Cervantez Thompson, Emrich, and Moore 2003;Packer et al 2000;Seccombe 2007).…”
