Students’ and health care professionals’ attitudes towards people with disabilites – a review of reports
Journal Title: Pielęgniarstwo XXI wieku - Year 2015, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
There are different sorts of stereotype, prejudice or discrimination against the handicapped individuals, which obviously influences the social attitude towards such people. This article contains an assessment of students’ attitudes toward people with different disabilities. The assessment was done on the basis of literature review. The authors of this paper have briefly described some of the research tools used to assess these attitudes: the scale ATDP – Attitudes Towards Disabled People; scale SADP – scale of Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons; scale DSATHS – Dental Students’ Attitudes Toward the Handicapped Scale; scale CDP – Contact with Disabled Persons Scale and questionnaire IDP – Interaction with Disabled Persons; instrument ATPDSC – Attitudes Toward Physically Disabled College Students. Based on a literature analysis, it might be noticed that medical students or healthcare professionals, like individuals from outside the healthcare sector, do not necessarily have positive attitudes toward disabled people.
