“…The quality of contact and mentoring as a significant parameter is further supported by Uysal et al.

“…Attitudes are influenced by a number of factors -physical, intellectual, social and emotional -and the experiences of the individual or the group. Positive attitudes can lead to decisions such as social and psychological acceptance of the person who has a disability (Tervo, Azuma, Palmer, & Redinius, 2002;Werner, Peretz, & Roth, 2015), improving programmes for people who have a disability -educational (Tindall, MacDonald, Carroll, & Moody, 2015); social (Kam & Wong, 2008;Keith, Bennetto, & Rogge, 2015); medical (Boyle et al, 2010;Ryan & Scior, 2014); and occupational (Tsang, Chan, & Chan, 2004;Uysal, Albayrak, Koçulu, Kan, & Aydin, 2014). By contrast, negative attitudes can lead to decisions such as rejection (Daruwalla & Darcy, 2005;Boer & Munde, 2014;Hassanein, 2015), segregation (Keller & Siegrist, 2010;Keith et al, 2015), and degradation (Panek & Jungers, 2008).…”

Objective: During the physical therapy education, if we can understand the student's attitude then we can make valuable suggestions with respect to the teaching in the universities and professional employment in the country. The aim of the current study is to develop a questionnaire to test the physical therapy students' attitudes towards their education and profession and to test its test-retest reliability and content validity. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 47 physical therapy students who were in their final year were randomly selected to participate in the study. After the making of the questionnaire, it was given to 6 professional experts teaching in the field of physical therapy to obtain their responses for each question with a 5-point Likert scale grading. Their answers were used in making the content validity of the questionnaire. Afterwards, the physical therapy students were asked to fill the questionnaire. Instrument reliability and test-retest reliability were also assessed by having the students complete the questionnaire after one month of taking the questionnaire. Results: The content validity index was 0.71 for the whole scale and values of individual subdivisions were ranging from 0.69 to 0.75. Instrument reliability measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.86 for the whole scale and subdivision values were ranging from 0.32 to 0.86. Test-retest reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient, which was 0.71 for whole scales and subdivision values were ranging from 0.38 to 0.70. Conclusions: This questionnaire, which assesses the physical therapy student attitude towards their education and profession, has good content validity, instrument reliability, and test-retest reliability.Key Words: Attitude, Education, Physical therapy, Students, Surveys and questionnaires IntroductionExcellency has no limitations or boundaries, all the education courses are trying to achieve this excellency by constantly improving their way of education. physical therapy is one such profession where the Excellency is growing to the higher limits with each decade.
