“…It is believed that patients with mental disorders are more frequently visited in cardiology and internal medicine clinics than in surgery ( 30 – 32 ). This finding is controversial with previous theories that more contact with patients with mental illness will reduce the stigma.…”

IntroductionThe stigma of mental illness has a negative impact on the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. Considering the high prevalence of mental illness, the attitude of medical specialists toward mental disorders, who are front liners in diagnosing and treating these patients, is critical. Therefore, we examined the attitude of Iranian medical specialty trainees toward providing health care services for patients with mental illness.MethodsWe included 143 residents in the fields that have the most interactions with patients with mental disorders, including internal medicine, surgery, neurology, cardiovascular diseases, and psychiatry. A demographic checklist, as well as the opening minds scale for health care providers stigma assessment questionnaire, was provided, which measures five dimensions of improvement, social responsibility, social distance, exposure, and other (such as risk) in health care providers toward delivering the healthcare services to patients with mental disorders.ResultsThe mean score of stigma for mental illness in medical specialty trainees was 61.36 ± 4.83 out of 100. Psychiatric residents have the least stigmatizing attitude (58.38 ± 3.54), and internal medicine and cardiology residents have the highest score, respectively, (62.96 ± 6.05, 62.45 ± 3.80). As for comparing subscales between specialties, only the social responsibility subscale showed a significant difference, with psychiatry having less stigma toward social responsibility (12.93 ± 2.01) than cardiology (15.09 ± 1.50) trainees.ConclusionThe attitude of medical specialty trainees toward providing health care services for patients with mental illness is not uniform; internal medicine and cardiology residents have more stigmatizing attitude, while psychiatric residents have less stigmatizing attitude. It seems that not every contact could be useful in making a better attitude toward mental illness, but it needs preconditions, like a structured contact that leads to positive outcomes. Anti-stigma interventions are needed to improve the attitude of medical specialty trainees toward providing health care services to patients with mental illness.

People with anxiety and depression are more worried. This worry can weaken their immune system and make them vulnerable to diseases. This study attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of CFT on depression and anxiety in patients with COVID-19. The study had a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included 30 men who underwent quarantine for COVID-19 in 2021. Participants were chosen through convenience sampling and then were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, CFT treatment was performed in 10 sessions of 90 minutes. Beck Depression and Anxiety Questionnaires were used to collect the required data. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software and multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA). The results showed a significant difference between the mean scores of depression and anxiety in the experimental and control groups (p <0.05). The effect of this treatment on reducing the scores of depression and anxiety was 51% and 68%, respectively. Based on the results, CFT can reduce anxiety and depression in patients with COVID-19 disease. It is suggested that this intervention can be used in psychological treatment programs.

Background The stigma associated with mental diseases in the healthcare system and among healthcare professionals has been identified as a significant barrier to treatment and rehabilitation and to the provision of substandard physical care for persons with mental illnesses. The goal of this study is to assess the attitude of physicians in Syria towards individuals with mental health disorders. Methods An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among phyisicians in Syria to evaluate their attitudes toward patients with mental health disorders and their provided treatment in the time period between August 16 and October 1, 2022. The questionnaire for the study was developed based on previous research, and the inclusion criteria for the sample were all medical specialist trainees from all specialties and residents who had direct contact with people suffering from mental health disorders. The questionnaire was divided into two sections; the first included sociodemographic data on the participants and the second assessed physician’s attitudes toward mental illness patients. With the IBM SPSS V. 28.0 package tool (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA), descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results 539 medical residents participated in this research; their average age was 26.11 (+- 1.74) years, and 50.27% were males. City residents had the highest stigma score on the third question (2.66 ± 1.06, P value < 0.05) in the ‘social distance’ domain. The mean stigma scores for these three items in the recovery area were (2.76 ± 1.15, 2.51 ± 0.92, and 3.73 ± 0.83), respectively, for city residents. In the ‘social distance’ domain, the stigma score of two questions (the first and fourth questions) was associated with the resident’s specialty, with dermatology residents having the highest mean score in both questions (mean = 3.6 ± 1.12, 3.43 ± 1.19, respectively). Only the second item in the ‘Detection’ domain was scored higher (mean = 3.850.81) by surgery residents than other residents. The stigma in the ‘Recovery’ domain was greatest among dermatology residents (mean = 3.710.94) than among other residents. There was a statistically significant relationship between residency and the Detection stigma scale (p = 0.03, Adj R2 = 0.008). There was a moderate correlation (Adj R2 = 0.048) between the Recovery scale and three of the six predictors (location, marital status, and the number of years living in the current residence). Two demographic factors (country of residence and marital status) were significantly correlated (p0.05) with the Social Responsibility Scale, and the Adjusted R-Squared Value was 0.006. Conclusion Our findings indicate substantial stigma among resident physicians who treat patients with mental illnesses, which might negatively impact both the efficacy of therapy and the phyisician’s mental health. It is important to educate medical residents on mental health issues so that they can treat their patients appropriately. It is suggested that mental health concerns be included in the curriculum of residency programs for physicians so that they have adequate perspectives and attitudes about treating these patients.
