The authors assess the effects of an educational intervention on the attitudes and understanding of psychiatric residents and journalism students, review how collaboration between these disciplines affects these attitudes, and propose the development of similar programs within residency to enhance systems-based learning.
A collaborative curriculum involving a workshop, didactics, and team projects was conducted over 6 months among journalism students and psychiatric residents. Attitude assessments were obtained before and at the conclusion.
Data support that a brief interdisciplinary curriculum can affect the attitudes of both psychiatric residents and journalism students regarding mental illness and the media. Attitudinal changes and areas of focus for the future are identified.
Psychiatrists should be familiar with the relationship between media and stigma. Focusing on psychiatrists and journalists in training may change attitudes between disciplines to promote future collaboration, and innovative curricula within residency training may increase the comfort level between physicians and the media.
作者评估一项教育干预措施对精神科住院医师和新闻专业学生态度及理解的影响,审视这些学科之间的合作如何影响这些态度,并提议在住院医师培训期间开展类似项目以加强基于系统的学习。
在新闻专业学生和精神科住院医师中开展了一项为期6个月的合作课程,包括一个工作坊、教学活动和团队项目。在课程开始前和结束时进行态度评估。
数据表明,一个简短的跨学科课程可以影响精神科住院医师和新闻专业学生对精神疾病和媒体的态度。确定了态度变化以及未来的关注领域。
精神科医生应熟悉媒体与污名之间的关系。关注培训中的精神科医生和记者可能会改变学科间的态度以促进未来合作,住院医师培训中的创新课程可能会提高医生与媒体之间的融洽程度。
