| description | Objective: Stigmatization for mental illness is a phenomenon that is seen all over the world and its negative
effect on individuals with mental disorders has been
shown strongly with studies done up to day. It is known
that the stigmatizing attitude towards mental illness is
also seen among the medical faculty students as well. In
this study, it was aimed to investigate the attitudes of
students of Eskiþehir Osmangazi University (ESOGÜ)
Faculty of Medicine to mental disorders regarding to
sociodemographic variables. Method: The study is conducted between December 2017 and April 2018; the
sample was consisting of the volunteer students of
Eskiþehir Osmangazi University School of Medicine. In
our study, sociodemographic information form and
Beliefs Towards Mental Illness Scale (BTMIS) were used as
data collection tool. Results: 314 students who agreed
to participate in the study were assessed. Twenty-four of
the participants (7.6%) reported a psychiatric diagnosis,
and 63 (20.1%) had a psychiatric diagnosis. When comparing the scores of BTMIS scores by sex, the mean
scores of male students were significantly higher than
female students (z = 2.65, p <0.01). Discussion: It is
consistent with the literature that women, the students
with high education, the students with psychiatric disorders, and the student who had a relative with psychiatric
disorder had more positive attitudes. It is important to
improve the stigmatization awareness toward the medical students. |
