Abstract

Purpose This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitudes toward recovering citizenship (RC)/5 Rs and mental illness of people aged ≥18 years in Hong Kong using a telephone survey approach. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire comprised the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS), Short Form-Community Attitudes Toward Mental Illness (SF-CAMI) and questions on attitudes toward RC/5 Rs, was administered on the phone. Findings A total of 1,009 respondents completed the telephone survey. A high mean score of MAKS (4.37 ± 1.08) was found with 68%–94% answering the knowledge items correctly. The mean score of SF-CAMI was 46.50 ± 8.74 with the most positive attitude toward fear and exclusion. Approximately half had heard about a similar concept of RC and 79%–94.3% agreed with people in recovery to possess the 5 Rs. Those with greater knowledge or more positive toward mental illness, or knowing someone in recovery were more supportive toward 5 Rs. Those aged 18–44 years, attained a post-secondary education, were employed, and received a monthly income of US$3,861–6,434 were significantly more positive toward 5 Rs. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study assessing the views of RC of people in the community. The sample had a good knowledge of mental illness but recognition of recovery from mental illness and a sympathetic view toward people in recovery can be further improved. Besides promotion programs, dissemination of the concept of RC and having people in recovery take up valued roles in the community could potentially facilitate the acceptance of social inclusion and acceptance in the community.
社区对恢复公民身份和精神疾病的知识和态度:一项电话调查方法
目的本研究旨在评估≥18岁人群对恢复公民身份(RC)/5Rs和精神疾病的知识和态度 在香港使用电话调查的方法。设计/方法/方法通过电话进行问卷调查,包括心理健康知识表(MAKS)、社区对精神疾病的简短态度(SF-CAMI)和对RC/5Rs的态度问题。调查结果共有1009名受访者完成了电话调查。MAKS平均得分高(4.37 ± 1.08),68%–94%的人正确回答了知识项目。SF-CAMI的平均得分为46.50 ± 8.74对恐惧和排斥持最积极的态度。大约一半的人听说过类似的RC概念,79%-94.3%的人同意康复中的人拥有5卢比。那些对精神疾病有更深入的了解或更积极的态度,或者知道有人在康复中,更支持5卢比。18-44岁的人 年,接受中学后教育,就业,月收入3861–6434美元,对5卢比的原始价值显著更积极。据作者所知,这是第一项评估社区中RC观点的研究。样本对精神疾病有很好的了解,但对精神疾病康复的认识和对康复者的同情可以进一步提高。除了推广计划外,传播RC的概念,让康复者在社区中发挥重要作用,可能有助于接受社会包容和社区接受。
