To compare and contrast the extent to which pharmacy students in Australia, Belgium, Finland, India, Estonia and Latvia hold stigmatising attitudes toward people with schizophrenia and severe depression.
Data were collected as part of the International Pharmacy Students Health Survey, a census survey of third-year pharmacy students studying at eight universities in six countries. Respondents (n = 642) indicated how strongly they endorsed six stigmatising statements about patients with schizophrenia and severe depression. Coded data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Version 14.0).
Between 52.5% (95% CI 46.2-58.9%) of students in Australia and 65.1% (95% CI 56.9-73.3) in Finland agreed that people with schizophrenia are a danger to others. Between 30.3% (95% CI 24.5-36.1%) of students in Australia and 60.0% (95% CI 48.5-71.5) in Estonia and Latvia agreed that people with schizophrenia are difficult to talk to. Between 9.8% (95% CI 4.0-15.6%) of students in Belgium and 43.8% (95% CI 35.3-52.3%) in Finland agreed that people with severe depression have themselves to blame.
Sub-optimal attitudes toward people with schizophrenia and severe depression were common among pharmacy students in all countries. New models of pharmacy education are required to address the attitudes and misconceptions among pharmacy students.
比较并对比澳大利亚、比利时、芬兰、印度、爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚的药学专业学生对精神分裂症患者和重度抑郁症患者持污名化态度的程度。
数据收集是国际药学专业学生健康调查的一部分，该调查是对六个国家八所大学的三年级药学专业学生进行的普查。受访者（n = 642）表明他们对关于精神分裂症患者和重度抑郁症患者的六条污名化陈述的认同程度。使用社会科学统计软件包（版本14.0）对编码数据进行分析。
澳大利亚52.5%（95%置信区间46.2 - 58.9%）的学生和芬兰65.1%（95%置信区间56.9 - 73.3）的学生认同精神分裂症患者对他人构成危险。澳大利亚30.3%（95%置信区间24.5 - 36.1%）的学生以及爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚60.0%（95%置信区间48.5 - 71.5）的学生认同精神分裂症患者难以交谈。比利时9.8%（95%置信区间4.0 - 15.6%）的学生和芬兰43.8%（95%置信区间35.3 - 52.3%）的学生认同重度抑郁症患者应归咎于自身。
所有国家的药学专业学生对精神分裂症患者和重度抑郁症患者普遍持有不太理想的态度。需要新的药学教育模式来解决药学专业学生的态度和误解问题。
