Materials and Methods: Attitudes were measured using the Attitudes towards Persons with Disabilities Inventory developed in Turkey, which consists of 43 statements. Participants were 273 undergraduate students from a health sciences faculty in Turkish university via stratified sampling. We examined associations between Attitudes towards Persons with Disabilities Inventory scores and socio-demographics variables. Results: The students generally had positive attitudes towards persons with disabilities. The most positive attitudes were among students from lower-income families (M=198.5, SD=3.5 Significance Level=0.05). Students from the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and the Social Work departments had more positive attitudes. Conclusions: The findings indicate a need to revise the curricula of departments to prepare students to effectively work with persons with disabilities.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDisabilityPersons with disabilityAttitudes towards persons with disabilities inventoryHealth sciences facultiesarticle2812537053770004073243000372-s2.0-85024931194
