However, no study evaluating physiotherapy and rehabilitation students was found.

The Attitude Inventory Regarding the Use of Personal Protective Equipment
时间窗: Baseline
There is no valid and reliable questionnaire evaluating behaviors and attitudes towards the use of personal protective equipment in the literature. Therefore, in our study, the attitudes and behaviors of the participants towards personal protective equipment will be evaluated using the questions developed in the article published by Çiriş et al. Required permissions have been obtained from the corresponding author of the article. "The Attitude Inventory Regarding the Use of Personal Protective Equipment" is composed of 5 likert scale type statements such as "1 - Strongly disagree," "2 - Disagree," "3 - Not sure," "4 - Agree," and "5 - Strongly agree." Answers to questions are between 1 and 5 points, so the total score varies between 5 and 100 points. As the score from each of the subgroups increases, the positive attitude toward the use of personal protective equipment increases.
Sociodemographic Evaluation Form
时间窗: Baseline
Demographic datas of the participants such as age, gender, height and weight will be recorded. At the same time, internship information and information about the use of personal protective equipment (mask, gloves, goggles, apron and overalls use) will be questioned.
