OBJECTIVE
A national survey of Australian adults in 1995 showed a low level of recognition of mental disorders and beliefs about treatment that were often discordant with those of professionals. The present study aimed to find out whether recognition and treatment beliefs have changed over 8 years.
METHOD
A national survey of 2001 adults in 2003-2004 included the same questions as the 1995 survey. These interview questions were based on a vignette of a person with either depression or schizophrenia.
RESULTS
Over the 8 years, the public showed better recognition of depression and schizophrenia and gave more positive ratings to a range of interventions, including help from mental health professionals, medications, psychotherapy and psychiatric ward admission.
CONCLUSIONS
The Australian public's beliefs have changed over 8 years to be more like those of mental health professionals. This change may have positive implications for help-seeking and treatment concordance.
目的
1995年对澳大利亚成年人进行的一项全国性调查显示，人们对精神障碍的认知水平较低，且在治疗观念上往往与专业人士不一致。本研究旨在探究8年间认知和治疗观念是否发生了变化。
方法
2003 - 2004年对2001名成年人进行的全国性调查包含了与1995年调查相同的问题。这些访谈问题基于一个患有抑郁症或精神分裂症患者的案例。
结果
在这8年里，公众对抑郁症和精神分裂症的认知有所提高，对一系列干预措施给予了更积极的评价，包括来自心理健康专业人士的帮助、药物治疗、心理治疗以及入住精神科病房。
结论
8年间澳大利亚公众的观念发生了变化，变得更接近心理健康专业人士的观念。这一变化可能对寻求帮助和治疗协调性产生积极影响。
