Objectives: Test knowledge about electrostimulation therapy among 5th and 6th year medical students, attitudes about electrostimulation therapy among 5th and 6th year medical students, whether there are differences in knowledge and attitudes about electrostimulation therapy among 5th and 6th year medical students in relation to demographic characteristics (year of study, gender, age), whether there are differences in knowledge and attitudes about electrostimulation therapy among 5th and 6th year medical students in relation to the family burden of mental disorders. Study design: Cross-sectional study Subjects and methods: The subjects were 5th and 6th year medical students. The following were used for data collection: a general questionnaire, a questionnaire on knowledge about electrostimulation therapy and a questionnaire on attitudes related to electrostimulation therapy (R Rajagopal, S Chakrabarti, S Grover, N. Khehra, Chandigarh). Results: The research was conducted on 100 subjects, of whom 61% were 6th-year students and 39 % were 5th-year medical students. The level of knowledge among respondents varies from 0 to 28 points, out of the maximum possible 32. 95 % of respondents have a positive attitude towards EST. It was observed that there is a strong positive relationship between knowledge and attitudes about EST (Rho = 0.638 P < 0.001). Conclusion: Characteristics (age, gender, year of study, family history of mental disorders) did not show a statistically significant relationship with the level of knowledge of the respondents. The vast majority of respondents showed a positive attitude towards this form of therapy. A significant connection was observed between students' knowledge and attitudes, those with a higher level of knowledge also have a more positive attitude.
