Stereotyped beliefs about schizophrenia are well-established in the society and relatively common among healthcare professionals and students. The aim of this study was to investigate the opinions about the causes, treatment, and outcome of schizophrenia among healthcare students.
Undergraduate nursing and psychology students completed selected items of the Opinion on Mental Illness Questionnaire after reading a clinical vignette of undiagnosed schizophrenia.
Students who labelled the description as schizophrenia were more pessimistic regarding full recovery from the disorder. Those who acknowledged greater relevance to biogenetic risk factors were more convinced of the efficacy of medications. Respondents' opinions on the efficacy of psychological interventions were more positive among psychology students than among nursing students.
The study confirmed the associations of schizophrenia labelling with prognostic pessimism and beliefs about the efficacy of pharmacological treatment among future healthcare professionals. Students' opinions were less influenced by differences between academic degree programs. Information about current recovery rate and comprehensive care for schizophrenia may support future healthcare professionals in the relationship and the clinical management of PWS.
关于精神分裂症的刻板观念在社会中根深蒂固,在医疗保健专业人员和学生中也较为常见。本研究的目的是调查医学生对精神分裂症的病因、治疗和预后的看法。
本科护理和心理学专业学生在阅读未确诊精神分裂症的临床 vignette 后,完成了《精神疾病看法问卷》的选定项目。
将描述标记为精神分裂症的学生对该疾病完全康复更为悲观。那些承认与生物遗传风险因素相关性更高的学生更相信药物的疗效。心理学专业学生对心理干预疗效的看法比护理专业学生更为积极。
该研究证实了精神分裂症标签与未来医疗保健专业人员的预后悲观主义以及对药物治疗疗效的信念之间的关联。学生的看法受学位课程差异的影响较小。关于精神分裂症当前康复率和综合护理的信息可能有助于未来医疗保健专业人员处理与精神分裂症患者的关系并进行临床管理。
