Results: Simulated patients had very low beliefs toward mental illness scores, reflecting overall low levels of stigma in this population. Conclusion: It was observed that the belief scores of the SPs were very low, providing support for the use of interactive simulation activities to reduce mental health stigma. It is thought that experiencing the life of an individual with mental illness has a positive effect on patients' beliefs about mental illnesses.
