AB  - Objective. As the number of persons with disabilities increases, pharmacists are 
      responsible for providing optimal pharmaceutical care services to more patients 
      in this population. The purpose of this study was to assess pharmacy students' 
      perceptions of the right of persons with disabilities to self-determination and 
      to identify factors that affect pharmacists' attitudes and perceptions.Methods. A 
      survey of 370 pharmacy students was conducted. The revised Korean versions of the 
      Scale of Attitudes Towards Disabled Persons (SADP) and the Attitudes Toward 
      Disabled Persons Form O (ATDP-O) were used to measure attitudes toward persons 
      with disabilities. Pharmacy students' perception of the right of persons with 
      disabilities to self-determination was measured in 2 subdomains developed by 
      education and ethics experts: absoluteness of right and social support.Results. 
      Responses from 363 pharmacy students were included in the analysis. We found that 
      the more contact students had with persons with disabilities in the past, the 
      more positive attitudes they had toward this patient group. In addition, 
      students' understanding of self-determination and positive attitudes toward 
      persons with disabilities were determined to be statistically significant factors 
      affecting pharmacy students' perceptions of both the absoluteness of right of 
      persons with disabilities and the level of social support that should be given to 
      this patient group.Conclusion. Since experience relating to people with 
      disabilities is associated with pharmacy students' positive perceptions about the 
      right of persons with disabilities to self-determination, education and 
      activities are needed in the pharmacy curriculum to ensure students have 
      experiences with this patient group.
