description INTRODUCTION[|]The purpose of this study is to compare knowledge and attitude towards ECT. For this purpose, we compared first, second and fifth-grade students of medical faculty and students of psychology MSc with thesis.[¤]METHODS[|]In first part, 480 students participated in the pretest process. After that, 212 first and second-grade students had a training named ECT information module. 2 weeks later, these 212 participants were subjected to a posttest of their knowledge and attitudes towards ECT.[¤]RESULTS[|]The pre-test results showed that the knowledge level of the participants about the ECT increased compatibly with their grade level. Additionally, while ECT knowledge level of clinical psychology students was higher than that of medical students, their attitudes towards ECT were more negative. An ECT semi-structured info module was presented to the experiment group. According to the results of ANOVA analysis, the level of knowledge about ECT increased equally among psychology and medical students. [¤]DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION[|]Pretest results revealed that students in higher grades have higher knowledge levels. However, when the departments were compared by grade levels, psychology students are found to have a much higher knowledge level than medical students, yet they have more negative attitudes. This result shows that although ECT knowledge level rises, attitudes do not always rise. [¤]
