Abstract

Background: Most studies that have explored sense of community (SOC), attitude towards mental illness (AMI), self-compassion (SC), and attitude towards seeking professional help (ATSPH), have studied them individually in one sample population only without taking into consideration the geographical variations.Method: The comparative study used the ex-post facto research design and the mixed-method explanatory sequential design to understand the effect of SOC and AMI on SC and ATSPH while comparing University students (n=124) from 2 Indian states Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. Results: The data from Lucknow and Vadodara were compared, SOC had no signicant effect on SC and ATSPH, but AMI had a signicant effect on SC and ATSPH. The qualitative study exploring AMI in Lucknow sample from Media department (n=10) highlighted three themes- reactions, causes and cures. The sub-themes of 'reactions' were sympathy, shock, and agony. The sub-themes of 'causes' were environmental factors, emotional factors, adverse experiences, and biological factors. The sub-themes of 'cures' were environment, pleasurable activities, care, medications, love, sympathy, and togetherness.

对精神病的态度、群体意识、自我同情和求助态度--一项比较研究

背景：大多数探讨社区感（SOC）、对精神疾病的态度（AMI）、自我同情（SC）和寻求专业帮助的态度（ATSPH）的研究，都只是在一个样本人群中对它们进行单独研究，而没有考虑到地域差异：这项比较研究采用了事后研究设计和混合模式解释性顺序设计，以了解 SOC 和 AMI 对 SC 和 ATSPH 的影响，同时比较了印度北方邦和古吉拉特邦的大学生（人数=124）。结果：比较了勒克瑙和瓦多达拉的数据，SOC对SC和ATSPH没有显cant的影响，但AMI对SC和ATSPH有显cant的影响。对勒克瑙媒体部门（样本数=10）AMI 的定性研究突出了三个主题--反应、原因和治疗。反应 "的次主题是同情、震惊和痛苦。原因 "的次主题是环境因素、情绪因素、不良经历和生物因素。治疗 "的次主题是环境、愉悦的活动、照顾、药物、爱、同情和团结。
