The purpose of this study was to compare the attitudes towards mental illness held by Brazilian and Spanish medical students. These attitudes were measured by means of the Opinions about Mental Illness Scale (OMI), developed by Cohen and Struening in 1962 in the United States, and translated and adapted by Rodrigues in 1983. The scale was answered by 214 5th year students of the School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil (61), and of the School of Medicine of Salamanca, Spain (147), and the data were analysed through the transformation of the raw scores to seten scores. From the seven attitudinal dimensions yielded by the adapted OMI, the subjects showed significant differences in relation to the attitudes called Benevolence, Social Restrictiveness and Mental Effort Etiology. Other significant differences were also found when mean scores were grouped by respondents' sex and future medical specialization.
本研究的目的是比较巴西和西班牙医学生对精神疾病的态度。这些态度通过1962年由科恩和斯特鲁宁在美国编制、1983年由罗德里格斯翻译改编的《精神疾病观点量表》（OMI）进行测量。巴西里贝朗普雷图医学院的214名五年级学生（61人）和西班牙萨拉曼卡医学院的学生（147人）回答了该量表，数据通过将原始分数转换为七分制分数进行分析。在改编后的OMI产生的七个态度维度中，受试者在仁慈、社会限制和精神努力病因学等态度方面存在显著差异。当按受访者性别和未来医学专业对平均分进行分组时，也发现了其他显著差异。
