The study aimed to determine the relationship between academic teaching staff' mental health literacy levels and beliefs toward mental illness.
This cross-sectional study was conducted with 357 academic teaching staff working at a state university in Turkey between July 2021 and February 2022.
Significant predictors of academic teaching staff' beliefs toward mental illness were mental health literacy, department, receiving mental health literacy education, seeking psychiatric help before, having a family member with a mental disorder, willingness to work with someone with a mental disorder, experience with a student with a mental disorder in professional life, and thoughts that students with a mental disorder should continue education.
Mental health literacy is an important variable in reducing academic teaching staff' negative beliefs toward mental illness. Therefore, training programs can be planned to increase the mental health literacy levels of academic teaching staff and change their negative beliefs toward mental illness.
本研究旨在确定学术教学人员心理健康素养水平与对精神疾病的信念之间的关系。
本横断面研究于 2021 年 7 月至 2022 年 2 月在土耳其一所国立大学对 357 名学术教学人员进行。
学术教学人员对精神疾病的信念的显著预测因子为心理健康素养、系别、接受心理健康素养教育、以前寻求过精神科帮助、有精神障碍的家庭成员、愿意与精神障碍患者一起工作、在专业生活中有过与精神障碍学生的接触经历,以及认为有精神障碍的学生应该继续接受教育。
心理健康素养是减少学术教学人员对精神疾病的负面信念的重要变量。因此,可以计划培训方案来提高学术教学人员的心理健康素养水平,并改变他们对精神疾病的负面信念。
