This study evaluated a consumer delivered anti-stigma presentation, In Our Own Voice (IOOV), with Masters of Social Work (MSW) students, replicating a previous study with undergraduates.
Thirty MSW students completed pre and post surveys to measure changes in attitude, knowledge and social distance after the presentation.
Paired samples t-tests showed increases in attitude (p < .001), knowledge (p < .05), and social distance (p < .001). Compared with previous research on undergraduate students, MSW students scored higher on all three pre-test measures (all p < .001).
The results further support the effectiveness of IOOV and indicate that graduate level helping professionals can benefit from anti-stigma programs. Future research should go beyond self-report knowledge and attitude evaluation, test the efficacy of the components of the IOOV program (video, contact with presenters), and test the lasting effects of the program.
本研究通过对社会工作硕士(MSW)学生进行一项基于消费者的反污名演讲——“用我们自己的声音”(IOOV),来评估该演讲的效果,这是对先前一项针对本科生研究的复制。
30 名 MSW 学生完成了演讲前后的调查,以衡量演讲后态度、知识和社会距离的变化。
配对样本 t 检验显示态度(p<0.001)、知识(p<0.05)和社会距离(p<0.001)均有所提高。与之前针对本科生的研究相比,MSW 学生在所有三项前测指标上的得分都更高(均 p<0.001)。
结果进一步支持了 IOOV 的有效性,并表明研究生水平的助人专业人员可以从反污名项目中受益。未来的研究应该超越自我报告的知识和态度评估,测试 IOOV 项目的组成部分(视频、与演讲者的接触)的效果,并测试该项目的持久效果。
