Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main purpose of this study will be to investigate what are the attitudes of Greek physiotherapy students who belong to one of the Higher Educational Institutions of Greece and the correlation of these attitudes with certain demographic characteristics that will be defined.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A link will be created via google forms, which will be made available to undergraduate physiotherapy students of all the departments of the country's universities. The Attitudes Towards Psychiatry - 30 scale will be used to explore students' attitudes towards psychiatry and mental health. Participants through a mandatory field will consent to participate in the study, having read all the necessary information at the beginning. Then the necessary section will be created in which the participant will answer the questions of the assessment scale. The Attitudes Towards Psychiatry - 30 scale has not been standardized in Greek and for this reason it will be translated forward and backward by 2 independent researchers. After the completion of the study, the researchers will collect the results and draw conclusions based on the necessary statistical analyses. The data collection will be done for about one month, the duration of data processing and archiving will be about 6 months.
