Examining the Relationship of Mental Health Literacy, Beliefs Toward Mental Illness, and Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Help.
Purpose: To examine the relationship of mental health literacy with beliefs toward mental illness and attitudes toward seeking psychological help in Turkish society.
Method: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional and correlational study comprising 400 participants (mean age = 28.65 years, SD = 9.83 years). Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHL), Beliefs Toward Mental Illness Scale (BMI), and Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Help Scale (ASPH-S).
Results: A statistically significant negative weak correlation was observed between MHL and BMI total scores (r = -0.170; p < 0.001). A statistically significant negative weak correlation was also observed between BMI and ASPH-S total scores (r = -0.186; p < 0.001). Mental health literacy accounted for 5.4% of the variability in BMI scores (F = 11.486; p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Mental health literacy positively affects beliefs toward mental illness. Intervention programs should include knowledge about mental disorders and stigma, which will help promote positive beliefs toward mental illness.
