摘要
背景:精神疾病给个人和医疗系统造成了巨大负担。据世界卫生组织统计,2019 年全球约有 9.7 亿人患有精神障碍:目的/问题:探讨伊拉克社区对精神健康状况的态度,并确定影响这种态度的因素:在 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 2 月期间,利用方便抽样和滚雪球抽样,对伊拉克普通民众中的 1394 人进行了横断面调查,使用的是自填式阿拉伯语在线问卷。数据使用 R 统计软件进行分析:共有 763 人(54.73%)对精神健康状况持积极态度。多变量回归分析显示,男性和 46 岁及以上年龄组与消极态度有显著相关性(分别为 p = 0.001 和 p = 0.045):讨论:在中东地区,精神疾病患者会受到鄙视态度的影响,从而危及他们的治疗和康复。这是第一项针对伊拉克人对精神健康状况的态度的研究,表明他们的态度总体上是积极的:实践启示:教育工作者、医护人员和大学必须开展健康宣传活动,以消除误解。未来进行的广泛取样研究将有助于澄清伊拉克人对心理健康问题的模糊认识。
Revealing the Obscurity of Attitudes Towards Mental Health Conditions: A Cross-Sectional Study of Attitudes Among the General Population of Iraq.
Background: Mental health conditions cause a huge burden on individuals and healthcare systems. According to the World Health Organization, around 970 million individuals worldwide had a mental disorder in 2019.
Aim/question: To explore the attitudes towards mental health conditions among the Iraqi community and determine factors influencing such attitudes.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 1394 individuals of the Iraqi general population between December 2022 and February 2023 using a self-administered online questionnaire in Arabic, utilising convenience and snowball sampling. The data were analysed using R Statistical Software.
Results: In total, 763 (54.73%) individuals had positive attitudes towards mental health conditions. The multivariate regression analysis revealed the males and age group of 46 years, and more were significantly associated with negative attitudes (p = 0.001, p = 0.045 respectively).
Discussion: Individuals with mental health conditions experience stigmatising attitudes as in the Middle East jeopardising their treatment and recovery. This is the first study to address the Iraqi population's attitudes towards mental health conditions indicating overall positive attitudes.
Implications for practice: Health promotions must be conducted by educators, healthcare workers and universities to dispel the myths. Future studies with extensive sampling will help clarify the obscurity of mental health conditions in Iraq.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing is an international journal which publishes research and scholarly papers that advance the development of policy, practice, research and education in all aspects of mental health nursing. We publish rigorously conducted research, literature reviews, essays and debates, and consumer practitioner narratives; all of which add new knowledge and advance practice globally.
All papers must have clear implications for mental health nursing either solely or part of multidisciplinary practice. Papers are welcomed which draw on single or multiple research and academic disciplines. We give space to practitioner and consumer perspectives and ensure research published in the journal can be understood by a wide audience. We encourage critical debate and exchange of ideas and therefore welcome letters to the editor and essays and debates in mental health.
