Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Although primary care physicians are highly involved in the detection and management of schizophrenia since the early stages, prior research has shown that they hold negative attitudes toward patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. We aimed to compare attitudes towards schizophrenia between family medicine residents and non-medical students. Method This was a cross-sectional study. A 18-item questionnaire concerning attitudes toward schizophrenia was used. Results The two participant groups held similar attitudes in terms of “social distance”, “belief of dangerousness” and “skepticism regarding treatment”. After controlling for confounders, help-seeking intentions contributed negatively to the prediction of attitudes toward schizophrenia in the non-medical students, and accounted for 5.3% of their variance. Conclusions Implementing anti-stigma programs in medical schools, reviewing the current medical curriculum and the family medicine residency programme to help improve future physicians’ attitudes and prepare them to provide primary mental health care to young help-seekers who experience psychosis should be given priority attention.
突尼斯家庭医学院居民和非医学生对精神分裂症的态度
摘要背景尽管初级保健医生从早期就高度参与精神分裂症的检测和管理,但先前的研究表明,他们对诊断为精神分裂症患者持负面态度。我们旨在比较家庭医学院住院医师和非医学院学生对精神分裂症的态度。方法采用横断面研究。使用了一份关于精神分裂症态度的18项问卷。结果两组受试者在“社交距离”、“危险性信念”和“对治疗持怀疑态度”方面态度相似。在控制了混杂因素后,寻求帮助的意图对非医学生对精神分裂症态度的预测有负面影响,占其方差的5.3%。结论应优先关注在医学院实施反污名化计划,审查当前的医学课程和家庭医学住院计划,以帮助改善未来医生的态度,并为他们为经历精神病的年轻寻求帮助者提供初级心理健康护理做好准备。
