This study was conducted to evaluate the students’ attitudes studying in the First and Emergency Aid Program towards distance education. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted with the students studying in the First and Emergency Aid Program in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. In this multicenter study, the "Attitude Scale towards Distance Education" was used. Results: Nine hundred forty-eight students who voluntarily participated in the study answered the questions comprehensively. It was determined that the attitude level of male students (26.4%) participating (m=92.00) was moderate, and the level of attitude of female students (73.6%) (m=81.00) was low (p <0.001). While a negative and weak significant relationship was found between the number of individuals in the students’ homes and their scale scores (r=0.073, p=0.025), a positive and weak significant relationship was found between the average income of their families and the scale score (r=0.013, p <0.001). Conclusion: Students developed low-level attitudes towards the remote delivery of health education. This is one of the factors that reduce the effectiveness of distance education.}, number={3}, publisher={Paramedik Eğitiminde Standardizasyon ve Akreditasyon Derneği}
