| Abstract |
Background: Attitudes of the nursing and healthcare staff affect the quality of care and people’s adaptation to their disability, self-image and rehabilitation outcomes.
Aim: To examine undergraduate healthcare students attitudes’ toward people with physical or intellectual disabilities in Greece.
Methods: Nursing, Social Work, and Medicine students (N=1007, 79.4% female) attending three Universities (Athens, Crete) completed during 2015-2016 two standardized scales regarding physical (ATDP – B) and intellectual disability (CLAS – ID). Descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.
Results: Attitudes toward physically disabled people in Greece (ATDP – B scores) were poor with scores just above the mid-point. Medical studies and higher knowledge and contact with individuals with physical disabilities signified more positive attitudes. Gender and age displayed no associations. Regarding intellectual disability (CLAS-ID scores), nursing students had slightly less positive attitudes in ‘Similarity’ but more positive attitudes in ‘Sheltering’ subscales. Previous work and contact was related to more favourable and higher age to less favourable ‘Similarity’ and ‘Sheltering’ attitudes. Males had higher ‘Exclusion’ scores. Those who knew people with intellectual disabilities had less favorable ‘Empowerment’ attitudes. Knowledge was related to more positive attitudes in all four CLAS – ID subscales.
Conclusion: Greek health and social care students showed poor attitudes towards people with physical and intellectual disability. Undergraduate education has to be updated to prepare efficiently future healthcare professionals to care for people with disabilities appropriately.
