Perception of Physical Therapy Students Tow ards People With Mental Illness

Abstract

    The need for mental wellness consciousness grows as the negative stigma associated with mental illness establishes numerous barriers. When renting a home, applying for a job, or evaluating mental health services, those suffering from mental disorders face prejudice and discrimination. The present research sought to assess physical therapy students' views toward individuals suffering from mental illnesses. The cross-sectional study design was used, with 377 questionnaires brimming out by undergraduate DPT students from various universities in Karachi. The study concluded that perception of majority of undergraduate physical therapy students towards people with mental illness was negative.
