Abstract: (2061 Views)
Background and Objective: The positive attitude of students can lead to a higher quality education with increased interest and satisfaction, thereby significantly impacting their efficiency and employability. This study aims to examine the attitudes of occupational therapy students at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences towards their field of study and future career.
Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive study, the attitude of 66 undergraduate occupational therapy students was measured by an attitude questionnaire. This questionnaire contains 17 questions that examine the student's attitude towards the field of study and future career. The cut-off point of the average overall attitude for an overall positive attitude is a score of 51 and above, a score of 45 and above for a positive attitude towards the field of study, and a score above 27 indicates a positive attitude towards the career future.
Findings: The mean score of students' attitudes toward their field of study was 31.29, higher than the desired mean (27). Therefore, students' attitudes towards their field of study tend to be positive. Also, the attitude towards career future was 26.45, higher than the maximum score of 24, indicating a positive attitude towards future career.
Conclusion: Students' attitudes toward their field of study and future careers were positive. There was no significant relationship between gender, marital status, native status of students, and their attitudes towards their field of study, future career, and overall attitude.
