This study compared mental health and physical health literacy using five health problems from each area.
The aim was to determine whether the same group had better physical than mental health literacy Method: A sample of 263 participants completed an online questionnaire requiring them to name a problem/illness described in 10 vignettes and suggest treatment options. Five vignettes described mental health problems (anxiety, bipolar-disorder, depression, OCPD and schizophrenia) and five physical problems (angina, COPD, diabetes, a heart attack, and sinusitis). Participants were also asked to rate their sympathy and estimates of prevalence for each disorder.
Recognition of the mental health disorders was superior compared recognition of the physical disorders. Analysis of treatment beliefs, sympathy and prevalence ratings also showed significant differences between disorders.
Results highlight the importance of education and the lack of public knowledge regarding major physical health conditions.
本研究通过每个领域的五个健康问题来比较心理健康和身体健康素养。
目的是确定同一组人是否具有更好的身体健康素养而非心理健康素养。
一项由 263 名参与者组成的样本完成了一项在线问卷调查，要求他们在 10 个情景描述中选择一个描述的健康问题/疾病，并提出治疗方案。五个情景描述了心理健康问题（焦虑、双相情感障碍、抑郁、强迫症和精神分裂症），五个身体状况问题（心绞痛、COPD、糖尿病、心脏病发作和鼻窦炎）。参与者还被要求对每个疾病表示同情，并估计其流行程度。
与识别身体疾病相比，心理健康障碍的识别能力更好。对治疗信念、同情和流行程度的分析也表明，不同疾病之间存在显著差异。
结果强调了教育的重要性，以及公众对主要身体健康状况的了解不足。
