Summary
This study surveys 200 physiotherapy interns—100 from Turkey and 100 from Egypt—to compare their self-efficacy (confidence in clinical skills) and perceived stress levels. Participants fill out an online questionnaire about their background, confidence, and stress. The goal is to understand how different training environments affect readiness for practice, which could help improve physiotherapy education.
