This study explored the influence of gender on the mental health literacy (MHL) of young people.
In all, 370 young people (aged 17-22 years) completed one of two questionnaires, in which they had to label/provide a diagnosis for nine vignettes of people with different mental health disorders. Half the vignettes had a male and the other half had a female character. They also rated the vignette person on nine scales.
There was much variance in recognition for the different disorders, with a range of 77.0%-27.3% of participants "correctly" labeling the vignettes. Very few gender differences were found, but age and experience of/education in mental health were found to be positively correlated with MHL.
Gender differences in MHL may not be as great as previously thought. Although some disorders were recognized by the majority of participants, there are still common disorders that were not.
本研究探讨了性别对年轻人心理健康素养(MHL)的影响。
共有370名年轻人(年龄在17至22岁之间)完成了两份问卷中的一份,在问卷中,他们必须对九个患有不同心理健康障碍的人物小插图进行标注/提供诊断。一半的小插图中有男性角色,另一半中有女性角色。他们还在九个量表上对小插图中的人物进行了评分。
对不同障碍的识别存在很大差异,77.0%至27.3%的参与者“正确”标注了小插图。发现的性别差异很少,但年龄以及心理健康方面的经验/教育程度与心理健康素养呈正相关。
心理健康素养方面的性别差异可能不像之前认为的那么大。虽然大多数参与者识别出了一些障碍,但仍有一些常见障碍未被识别。
