Brief Summary

Candidates who will provide the health services of the future should be ready to provide the safe and best health care services. In order to achieve this, it is recommended to use new training programs and methods that will provide similar situations to the working environment in the training of health workers. There are very few studies on the empathy and communication perceptions that creative drama education will create with the patient on physiotherapy and rehabilitation department students. Therefore, this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the perceived effect of communication skills training integrated with creative drama on physiotherapy and rehabilitation students' empathy and communication skills that will develop with the patient.
