[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of disability awareness educational program of university students in the department of physical therapy on reducing prejudice against people with disabilities and increasing positive attitudes toward people with disabilities. [Participants and Methods] Students who participated in the disability awareness educational program were selected as experiment group and 15 students who did not take program were selected as control group. [Results] First, in the comparisons between the control and experimental group, there was no difference in the overall prejudice on people with disabilities and positive attitudes toward people with disabilities before the disability awareness educational program. However, there was a significant difference in the overall prejudice and positive attitudes between two groups after the disability awareness educational program. Second, in the comparisons between pretest and posttest, there was no significant difference in the overall prejudice on people with disabilities in control group. However, in the comparisons between pretest and posttest, there was a significant difference in the overall prejudice in experimental group. [Conclusion] It is necessary to provide disability awareness educational program for the university students in the department of physical therapy to reduce the overall prejudices against people with disabilities and increase positive toward people with disabilities.
[目的]本研究旨在探讨物理治疗专业大学生的残疾意识教育项目对减少对残疾人的偏见以及增强对残疾人的积极态度的影响。[参与者与方法]参与残疾意识教育项目的学生被选为实验组，15名未参加该项目的学生被选为对照组。[结果]首先，在对照组和实验组的比较中，残疾意识教育项目开展前，两组在对残疾人的总体偏见和对残疾人的积极态度方面没有差异。然而，残疾意识教育项目开展后，两组在总体偏见和积极态度方面存在显著差异。其次，在对照组的前测和后测比较中，对残疾人的总体偏见没有显著差异。然而，在实验组的前测和后测比较中，总体偏见存在显著差异。[结论]有必要为物理治疗专业的大学生提供残疾意识教育项目，以减少对残疾人的总体偏见，并增强对残疾人的积极态度。
