摘要
对精神健康障碍患者的污名化和消极态度会损害药学服务的提供。本研究的目的是评估课堂讲座对精神健康障碍的影响,以及电影推荐对药学学生对精神分裂症(PwS)患者的态度和污名的影响。方法:采用问卷调查和事后调查相结合的方法,对尼日利亚恩苏卡大学药学专业毕业班学生进行调查。在精神分裂症讲座前后,对学生进行了一项包括社会人口学细节、对PwS的态度和社会距离量表的调查。在第一节课结束后,学生们被鼓励观看一部关于一名士兵经历的电影。结果:在200名抽样学生中,有179名(回复率为91.1%)同意参加并在临床讲座前完成问卷调查;参加问卷调查的108名学生参加了问卷调查后的问卷调查,回复率为76.0%。总体平均消极态度得分由2.79±0.412降至2.72±0.357。总体平均社会距离得分从2.48±0.415增加到2.49±0.467,表明耻感增加。在调查前和调查后,有朋友或亲戚患有精神分裂症的人的平均消极态度得分比那些没有精神分裂症的人低。看过电影推荐的人(n = 85)对PwS的平均负面态度较高(2.74 vs 2.67, P = .433),对PwS的社会距离较低(2.57 vs 2.48, P = .415)。讨论:药学专业学生的心理健康课堂讲座可能不会显著改善他们对PwS的整体态度和社会距离。药学院应考虑其他形式的心理健康相关主题的教学,如与真实患者接触和模拟。
The effect of classroom lectures and a movie recommendation on pharmacy students' attitudes and social distancing toward people with schizophrenia.
Introduction: Stigma and negative attitudes toward people with mental health disorders can impair the provision of pharmaceutical care. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of classroom lectures on mental health disorders and a movie recommendation on pharmacy students' attitudes and stigma toward persons with schizophrenia (PwS).
Methods: The study consisted of a presurvey and postsurvey carried out among final-year pharmacy students of the University of Nigeria Nsukka. A survey comprising 3 sections on sociodemographic details, attitudes toward PwS, and a social distance scale was given to conveniently sampled students before and after lectures on schizophrenia. Students were encouraged to watch a movie about the experiences of a PwS after the first lecture.
Results: One hundred seventy-nine students (of the 200 sampled, response rate 91.1%) agreed to participate and completed the survey instrument before the clinical lecture, whereas 108 students who took part in the presurvey participated in the postsurvey (response rate of 76.0%). The overall mean negative attitude score reduced from 2.79 ± 0.412 to 2.72 ± 0.357. The overall mean social distance score increased from 2.48 ± 0.415 to 2.49 ± 0.467, indicating increased stigma. In both presurveys and postsurveys, people with a friend or relative with schizophrenia had a lower mean negative attitude score compared with those who did not. People who had watched the movie recommendation (n = 85) had a higher mean negative attitude (2.74 vs 2.67, P = .433) and a lower social distance toward PwS (2.57 vs 2.48, P = .415).
Discussion: Classroom lectures on mental health among pharmacy students might not significantly improve the overall attitudes and social distance toward PwS. Schools of pharmacy should consider alternative formats of teaching mental health-related topics, such as contact with real patients and simulation.
