A total of 423 health professionals, including physicians, psychologists, counselors, social workers, and nurses, attended a two-day program to increase awareness, recognition, and treatment of depression. In a preprogram opinion survey, nurses and social workers reported less perceived ability to recognize mood disorders compared with physicians and psychologists. In a group of 274 respondents who took a 20-item test of their knowledge about depression before and after attending the program, scores for all professions increased after the program and pretest differences in scores between professions decreased. The results suggest that training was successful in increasing knowledge about depression among a diverse group of health professionals.
共有423名医疗专业人员参加了一个为期两天的项目，以提高对抑郁症的认识、识别和治疗能力，这些人员包括医生、心理学家、顾问、社会工作者和护士。在项目前的意见调查中，护士和社会工作者报告称，与医生和心理学家相比，他们感觉自己识别情绪障碍的能力较低。在一组274名受访者中，他们在参加该项目前后进行了一项关于抑郁症知识的20项测试，结果显示，所有专业人员在项目后的分数都有所提高，而且各专业之间的测试前分数差异减小了。结果表明，培训成功地提高了不同医疗专业人员对抑郁症的认识。
