Abstract

For some time now, there has been an increased interest in psychedelics among scientists and mental health experts. Given that experts introduce therapy and advise patients, it is important to know their views. Therefore, the aim of our research was to examine and compare the attitudes of psychiatrists and psychologists toward psychedelics. We were interested in how they are formed and what is the role of personality in that process. We included 218 respondents, of which 92 were psychiatrists and 126 were psychologists. Attitudes toward psychedelics were examined using the Attitudes on Psychedelics Questionnaire. We used the Big Five Inventory to examine personality traits. On the Legal Use of Psychedelics subscale, it was shown that psychiatrists have more negative attitudes toward psychedelics (p = .033). Higher Openness (β = 0.184, p < .001) and lower Conscientiousness (β = -0.144, p = .009) contribute to positive attitudes toward psychedelics, as well as previous lifetime experience with psychedelics (β = 0.411, p < .001) and younger age (β = -0.278, p < .001). In conclusion, we can say that mental health professionals are open but also wary of psychedelics. Openness motivates them to learn. For this reason, additional education could have an impact on the attitudes of psychiatrists and psychologists and prepare them for the practical use of psychedelics.

克罗地亚心理健康专业人员对迷幻剂的态度:一项跨部门全国调查研究。
一段时间以来,科学家和心理健康专家对迷幻剂的兴趣日益浓厚。鉴于专家们介绍治疗方法并为病人提供建议,了解他们的观点非常重要。因此,我们研究的目的是考察和比较精神病学家和心理学家对迷幻药的态度。我们感兴趣的是,他们的态度是如何形成的,以及人格在这一过程中的作用是什么。我们纳入了 218 名受访者,其中 92 人为精神科医生,126 人为心理学家。我们使用 "对迷幻药的态度 "问卷调查了受访者对迷幻药的态度。我们还使用了 "大五量表 "来研究人格特质。在 "合法使用迷幻药 "分量表中,精神科医生对迷幻药的态度更为消极(p = .033)。较高的开放性(β = 0.184,p p = .009)有助于形成对迷幻药的积极态度,而以前使用迷幻药的经历(β = 0.411,p p = .009)则有助于形成对迷幻药的消极态度。
