Purpose: To investigate the relationship between self-concept and mental health of physical therapy students.
Methods: We recruited 179 currently enrolled college freshman, sophomores, and juniors studying physical therapy. The instruments used for this study were Rosenberg’s Self-esteem Scale, Choi Chung Hoon’s Perceeptual Orientation Scale, and the Mental Health Test modified by Lee.
Results: The mean self-concept score was 3.97, a positive self concept, and the mean mental health score was 1.04. The mean dimension score for mental health ranged from: r=0.79r=1.29. The relationship between self-concept and the mental health showed a negative correlation (r=-0.693, p<0.01).
Conclusion: Modifications to the current program may improve self-concept and the mental health of physical therapy students.
