There are currently no published scales to assess the attitudes of students and professionals across a wide range of healthcare disciplines towards people with mental illness. Secondary analysis from a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of anti-stigma interventions was carried out to test the reliability, validity and acceptability of the Mental Illness: Clinicians' Attitudes (MICA) v4 scale, a modification of the MICA v2 scale in a sample of 191 nursing students. The MICA v4 was found to have good internal consistency (α=0.72) and item-total correlations. Principal component analysis produced a five-factor structure and the scale had acceptable convergent validity. A group of students and professionals within the healthcare discipline (n=5) reported that the MICA v4 had good face validity and suggested its use with students and professionals working in non-mental health settings. The scale had low rates of missing data, good readability and took less than 4min to complete. The MICA v4 scale was found to be a reliable, valid and acceptable measure of foundation year nursing students' attitudes towards mental illness. It has the potential for use with students and qualified staff across a range of healthcare professions and is available for use from the authors.
目前没有发表的量表可以评估广泛的医疗保健学科的学生和专业人员对精神病患者的态度。对一项抗污名化干预的随机对照试验（RCT）的二次分析，旨在测试精神疾病：临床医生态度量表（MICA）v4 版的可靠性、有效性和可接受性，这是 MICA v2 版的修改版，样本为 191 名护理专业学生。研究发现，MICA v4 具有良好的内部一致性（α=0.72）和项目总分相关性。主成分分析产生了一个五因素结构，该量表具有可接受的聚合效度。一组来自医疗保健学科的学生和专业人员（n=5）报告称，MICA v4 具有良好的表面效度，并建议将其用于在非精神卫生环境中工作的学生和专业人员。该量表的缺失数据率较低，可读性好，完成时间不到 4 分钟。研究发现，MICA v4 量表是衡量基础护理专业学生对精神疾病态度的可靠、有效和可接受的工具。它有可能在一系列医疗保健专业中用于学生和合格的工作人员，可从作者处获得。
