Students’ Attitudes to Psychiatry: A Study of First- and Final-Year Clinical Students’ Attitudes in Six Medical Schools

Examined the attitudes, beliefs, and intentions toward self-help groups of 168 graduate students in clinical psychology and social work from five universities using the theory of reasoned action as a model (Fishbein, 1979). Participants held positive attitudes and beliefs regarding self-help and intended to collaborate. Participants who were members of self-help groups had significantly greater intentions to collaborate and had more positive beliefs vs. nonmembers. There were no differences between social work and psychology students. Path analysis showed that students who held positive attitudes and beliefs and perceived that their faculty were positive regarding self-help had intentions to collaborate with self-help groups. Involving self-help groups as partners in professional training was considered empowering and a wise use of the expert resources that groups can provide.

The influence of the application-interview process on recruitment into psychiatry has recently attracted attention. Surveys of student perspectives indicate that certain program characteristics are of vital importance in selecting a residency and that students evaluate residency programs as much as residency programs evaluate them. This paper describes a survey of faculty members', residents', and students' perspectives on attributes important to program recruitment. The three groups of respondents agreed on two-thirds and disagreed on one-third of the items on the survey, which was distributed throughout psychiatry residency training programs in Ohio. Analyses of disagreements imply that specific changes in faculty behaviors and program procedures might benefit the recruitment process for students and for programs.
