To determine future pharmacists' opinions on mental health conditions and investigate the influence of gender. Final-year Master of Pharmacy students at Queen's University Belfast completed a paper-based questionnaire. Section A of the questionnaire was adapted from a United Kingdom public opinion questionnaire on mental health. Section B gathered non-identifiable demographic data. Descriptive statistics were undertaken. Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests were used for gender comparisons. An 89% (97/109) response rate was obtained. Most survey respondents considered that pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures were beneficial in the management of mental health conditions (89% and 96%, respectively) and that people with mental illness had the same rights to jobs as anyone else (82%). However, only 57% of the respondents felt confident discussing mental health issues with patients and 36% deemed university training to be satisfactory. Males were more likely than females to "agree strongly" or "agree slightly" that they would not want to live next door to someone who has been mentally ill. While some positive opinions were evident, more work is needed to prepare future pharmacists for roles within mental health care teams.
为了确定未来药剂师对心理健康状况的看法，并调查性别的影响。贝尔法斯特女王大学的药学硕士四年级学生完成了一份基于纸张的问卷。问卷的 A 部分改编自英国公众对心理健康的意见问卷。B 部分收集了不可识别的人口统计数据。进行了描述性统计。Mann-Whitney U 和 Chi-square 检验用于性别比较。 获得了 89%（97/109）的回复率。大多数调查受访者认为，在管理心理健康状况方面，药物和非药物措施都有益（分别为 89%和 96%），并且患有精神疾病的人享有与其他人一样的工作权利（82%）。然而，只有 57%的受访者有信心与患者讨论心理健康问题，36%的人认为大学培训令人满意。男性比女性更有可能“强烈同意”或“轻微同意”他们不想住在曾经患有精神疾病的人隔壁。 虽然有一些积极的观点，但还需要做更多的工作来为未来的药剂师在精神卫生保健团队中的角色做准备。
