BACKGROUND
It is believed that people lack sound knowledge and appropriate attitude towards electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, very little systematic research has gone into this area.
AIM
To examine the knowledge and attitude of patients and their relatives towards ECT.
METHODS
A 16-item questionnaire with satisfactory face validity and content validity was constructed and translated into Hindi. It was then administered to 89 patients and 83 relatives attending the psychiatry services in a major hospital in north India.
RESULTS
More than 65% of the respondents in both the groups-patients as well as relatives-gave correct responses such as ECT is life saving, many times it causes temporary but not permanent memory impairment and that ECT is not a non-scientific treatment. There was non-significant disagreement between the two groups.
CONCLUSION
The study is a preliminary exploratory one and is likely to give direction for further research with refined methodology.
背景
人们普遍认为，人们对电抽搐治疗（ECT）缺乏健全的知识和适当的态度。然而，针对这一领域的系统研究却很少。
目的
调查患者及其家属对 ECT 的认识和态度。
方法
设计了一份具有良好表面效度和内容效度的 16 项问卷，并将其翻译成印地语。然后在印度北部一家大医院的精神科服务中对 89 名患者和 83 名家属进行了调查。
结果
两组（患者和家属）中有超过 65%的受访者给出了正确的回答，如 ECT 可以救命，多次治疗可能会导致暂时而非永久性的记忆损伤，ECT 不是一种非科学的治疗方法。两组之间没有显著的分歧。
结论
这项研究是初步的探索性研究，可能会为进一步采用更完善的方法进行研究提供方向。
