In the narrowest sense, transcultural psychiatry studies the relationship between sociocultural processes and the occurrence of mental illnesses, i.e. the frequency of the presence of certain factors and the occurrence of illnesses is studied. It began to develop in the 19th century in Germany, and after the Second World War, due to great suffering, it occupied an important part of the post-war psychological reconstruction. Culture, as an integral part of every individual, shapes identity and behavioral standards, and differences can be observed when assessing mental health between individuals from different cultures or ethnic groups. The aim of this paper is to determine whether the attitudes of nursing students differ with regard to age, gender, completed previous high school education and method of study. An online survey was conducted in which 140 students of the undergraduate professional study of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka participated. According to the results, we conclude that female respondents have positive attitudes about transcultural psychiatry compared to male respondents. All age groups have moderately positive attitudes, as well as in relation to previously completed high school education and year of study. Considering the type of study (full-time and part-time course), we conclude that full-time students have positive attitudes about transcultural psychiatry compared to part-time students.
