The social disapproval or stigma surrounding mental illness contributes to the postponement of individuals seeking assistance and frequently undermines therapeutic alliances between mental illness sufferers and health care professionals.
This study explored perceptions and attitudes towards individuals with mental illness among college healthcare students in Indonesia.
This study used a qualitative method. Twenty five students enrolled in six healthcare programs were interviewed using a semi structured format. The data analysis adopted a thematic analysis.
Our thematic analysis generated four main themes: (1) general perceptions of mental health and mental illness; (2) knowledge about mental illness; (3) mental health stigma; and (4) mental health stigma campaigns.
The participants exhibited positive perceptions of mentally ill people. Students understood mental health, and they exhibited positive attitudes toward mentally ill people. Some students have stigma and lack of confidence to assist those who have mental illness. Further efforts are required to acquaint students with mental health issues and facilitate their interaction with mentally ill individuals. Anti-stigma campaigns are required to combat the pervasive stigmatization of individuals with mental illness. It is recommended to conduct a more extensive study about the stigma that students encounter in relation to mentally ill individuals.
围绕精神疾病的社会不认可或污名化导致个人推迟寻求帮助，并经常破坏精神疾病患者与医护人员之间的治疗联盟。
本研究探讨了印度尼西亚大学生医护专业学生对精神疾病患者的看法和态度。
本研究采用定性方法。对六个医护专业的25名学生进行了半结构化访谈。数据分析采用主题分析法。
我们的主题分析产生了四个主要主题：（1）对心理健康和精神疾病的总体看法；（2）关于精神疾病的知识；（3）精神健康污名化；（4）精神健康反污名化运动。
参与者对精神疾病患者表现出积极的看法。学生们理解心理健康，并且对精神疾病患者表现出积极的态度。一些学生存在污名化观念且缺乏帮助精神疾病患者的信心。需要进一步努力让学生了解心理健康问题，并促进他们与精神疾病患者的互动。需要开展反污名化运动来对抗对精神疾病患者普遍存在的污名化现象。建议对学生在与精神疾病患者相关方面遇到的污名化问题进行更广泛的研究。
