“…Mental health professionals and medical students have been found to stigmatize psychiatric patients ( 7 , 8 ), and 40% of people with a mental disorder report unfair treatment by health professionals such as medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nurses ( 9 , 10 ). Experiencing stigma in medical settings is a stressor that contributes, among others, to reducing patients' quality of life and to exacerbating inequities in health outcomes and access to healthcare ( 11 – 13 ).…”

2021

Stigma toward mental disorders is one of today's most pressing global issues. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the barriers to social inclusion faced by individuals with mental disorders. Concurrently, stigma reduction interventions, especially those aimed at university students, have been more difficult to implement given social distancing and campus closures. As a result, alternative delivery for programs contributing to stigma reduction is required, such as online implementation. This paper reports the results of a controlled study focused on an online multi-component program on reducing stigma toward mental illness that included project-based learning, clinical simulations with standardized patients and E-Contact with real patients. A total of 40 undergraduate students from the Universidad del Desarrollo in Santiago, Chile, participated in the study. They were randomly divided between an intervention and control group. The intervention group participated in the online multi-component program, while the control group participated in an online educational program on cardiovascular health. We assessed the impact of the program by using the validated Spanish-language versions of the Attribution Questionnaire AQ-27 and the Questionnaire on Student Attitudes toward Schizophrenia with both groups, before and after the intervention. In addition, an ad hoc Likert scale ranging from 0 to 5 was used with the intervention group in order to assess the learning strategies implemented. Following the intervention, the participants belonging to the intervention group displayed significantly lower levels of stereotypes, perception of dangerousness, and global score toward people with schizophrenia (p < 0.001). In addition, participants presented lower levels of dangerousness-fear, avoidance, coercion, lack of solidarity, and global score (p < 0.001). The control group displayed no statistically significant differences in the level of stigma before and after the evaluation, for all of the items assessed. Finally, the overall assessment of each of the components of the program was highly positive. In conclusion, the study shows that online programs can contribute to reducing stigma toward mental disorders. The program assessed in this study had a positive impact on all the dimensions of stigma and all of the components of the program itself were positively evaluated by the participants.

“…As a result, different international, national, and regional organizations have worked to promote various campaigns seeking to eradicate or diminish this problem (6). Not only is stigma common among the general population, but it is also present in other sectors, such as healthcare (7)(8)(9)(10)(11), so much so that several studies demonstrate the importance of including specific training as part of the education of doctors and healthcare professionals (12)(13)(14).…”

et al. 2020

One of the main obstacles to integrating individuals with severe mental disorders into society today is the stigma directed at them. Although breakthroughs in treatment have been made in recent years, many professionals continue to admit that they do not possess enough training to combat this problem. Considering this situation, the present study analyzes the existing stigma among University Education students in three countries with different education systems and cultures, namely Spain, Russia, and Canada. A total of 1,542 students from these three countries participated in the study. ANOVA, MANOVA, and Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis were applied in the data analysis. The results showed that the highest rates of stigma were in Spain and the lowest were in Canada, while Russia displayed intermediate values. This work addresses the relevance of these results, the influence that cultural difference may have on education policies, and the need to implement anti-stigma programs in countries like Spain, which has a relatively high level of social stigma and where these programs are practically not applied at all.

“…Furthermore, from the beginning of the four-month period, experts in the field, as psychiatrists, social educators and psychologists, and patients, visited the classroom to share their experiences. Students additionally acquired new learning through watching videos (A Marvelous Mind, 1% Schizophrenia, Girl Interrupted), reading reports and academic articles (Cornella, 2005;Escribano, 2005;Fabra et al, 2005;Masiques, 2005, Moreno et al, 2014Navarro & Triguero 2019) visiting centers, and having debates and other activities that facilitated research in the didactic process. These activities were carried out for four months, once a week.…”

Mental disorders are one of the most stigmatized conditions in our society, which is a barrier to recovery for these individuals. However, stigmatizing attitudes can change, and education and personal experience with people who have a mental disorder can reduce stigmatizing attitudes. The present study assessed 111 social education students' stigma toward people with mental disorders and knowledge about mental disorders before and after an educational intervention involving active case studies and problem-based learning methodologies. Self-reports were used to measure attitudes toward mental disorder and knowledge about mental health. Negative attitudes towards mental disorders were reduced and knowledge increased after the intervention (p< .05). These results demonstrate the effectiveness of this type of active educational interventions in reducing stigma towards people with mental disorders. However, it is important to continue conducting studies of this type to increase the scientific evidence.
