Abstract

 Healthcare professionals’ attitudes determine their knowledge and behavior towards evaluation and treatment of people living with psychiatric disorders. Physiotherapists (PTs) are an essential part of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team to provide holistic care in the mental health perspective along a symptom control- quality of life continuum. This review article summarizes  the findings from research studies on attitudes of PTs towards psychiatric disorders from an evidence-informed perspective through a preliminary search of PubMed database. Findings from four assessment studies and two treatment studies on attitudes among PTs were descriptively summarized to provide an evidence-informed implication for education and practice.

Keywords: Mental Health; Attitudes of Physiotherapists.
