Attitude of doctors towards specific medical conditions plays a crucial role in patient care. Internship, being the final stage in undergraduate medical students' training, can have a bearing on the attitude they develop towards various specialties. However, there is dearth of Indian studies comparing the attitude of interns towards psychiatric illness and other chronic medical conditions. In this background, the study was conceived with the objective of comparing the attitude of interns towards psychiatric illness and other chronic medical conditions.
(1) To compare the attitude of interns towards Psychiatric illness and Diabetes Mellitus. (2) To compare the attitude of interns towards Psychiatric illness and HIV/AIDS.
Conducted at Sri Siddhartha medical college, Tumakuru as a cross sectional study.
The sample for this cross sectional study comprised of 130 interns in a tertiary care teaching hospital who had completed their postings in Psychiatry. Medical Condition Regard Scale (MCRS) was used to assess the attitude of interns towards Psychiatry, Diabetes Mellitus and HIV/AIDS.
SPSS 20 was used with Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests to analyze the data obtained.
There was no significant difference between the overall MCRS scores for Diabetes Mellitus and psychiatric illnesses. However, many individual items and the overall scores of MCRS were significantly higher for psychiatric illnesses when compared to those for HIV/AIDS.
The attitude of interns towards Psychiatric illness was comparable to that towards Diabetes Mellitus. However, their attitude towards Psychiatric illness was more favorable than that towards HIV/AIDS. Further studies need to focus on the various aspects of stigma/ attitude and the effect of undergraduate medical training on those aspects.
医生对特定疾病的态度在患者护理中起着至关重要的作用。实习作为本科医学生培训的最后阶段，可能会影响他们对各个专业的态度。然而，印度缺乏比较实习生对精神疾病和其他慢性疾病态度的研究。在此背景下，开展了本研究，目的是比较实习生对精神疾病和其他慢性疾病的态度。
（1）比较实习生对精神疾病和糖尿病的态度。（2）比较实习生对精神疾病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的态度。
在图马库鲁的斯里·悉达多医学院进行横断面研究。
本横断面研究的样本包括一家三级护理教学医院中130名已完成精神科实习的实习生。使用医疗状况关注量表（MCRS）来评估实习生对精神病学、糖尿病和艾滋病毒/艾滋病的态度。
使用SPSS 20进行描述性统计和非参数检验来分析获得的数据。
糖尿病和精神疾病的MCRS总体得分之间没有显著差异。然而，与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相比，精神疾病的许多单项和MCRS的总体得分显著更高。
实习生对精神疾病的态度与对糖尿病的态度相当。然而，他们对精神疾病的态度比对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的态度更积极。进一步的研究需要关注耻辱感/态度的各个方面以及本科医学培训对这些方面的影响。
