“…We therefore agree that it is important to consider the type of teaching that professionals receive when it comes to designing actions to reduce stigma. In the case of nursing, we can observe that stigma reduces as students advance in their degree due to the training students receive in their 3rd year, which is when they study a module in psychiatry and mental health, as happens in previous studies [34,52]. Thus, we could say that more theoretical training and longer clinical placements are associated with more positive student attitudes towards mental health nursing, as happens in previous studies [50,53].…”

Mental health problems have been identified by the World Health Organization as a global development priority. Negative attitudes toward mental health patients have been documented in multiple health professionals. The aim of this study was to determine the level of stigma and associated factors toward people with mental health problems among students doing their degree in nursing. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach. A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out on a sample of 359 students doing their degree in nursing. Students had to be enrolled in any of the four years of study of the degree at the time the questionnaire was done. We explored the perception and experience of students doing their degree in nursing regarding the level of stigma, through in-depth interviews (n = 30). The mean overall Mental Health Stigma Scale (MHSS) score was 30.7 points (SD = 4.52); 29.5% (n = 106) scored low for stigma, 49.9% (n = 179) showed moderate stigma, and 20.6% (n = 74) scored high. The multivariate analysis showed that 4th-year students had an OR of 0.41 (CI95%: 0.20–0.84) for high/moderate stigma and that 3rd-year students had an OR of 0.49 for high/moderate stigma compared with 1st-year students. We also observed that students with family members with mental health problems had an OR of 2.05 (CI95%: 1.19–3.56) for high/moderate stigma compared with students who did not have family members with mental health problems. The following categories emerged: fear and lack of knowledge, breaking the silence, and integration into society. The levels of mental health stigma in our sample of nursing students were moderate. Stigma levels were lower in 3rd- and 4th-year students (i.e., after having received training in mental health), and in students with family members with mental health problems.

“…Researchers observe and observe directly some things affect students' knowledge so that they have good knowledge. Their knowledge comes from direct education or lectures in class with the application of the 7th KKNI curriculum on mental nursing (İnan, Günüşen, Duman, & Ertem, 2019;Sherwood, 2019). Also, outdoor education (by visiting) the land/soul posyandu, the existence of field learning practices (PBK), clinical supervision in the field as well as the existence of audio-visual education about people with mental disorders (Bilge & Palabiyik, 2016).…”

The negative stigma of people with mental disorder (ODGJ) has become a social phenomenon that harm sufferers. Discriminatory actions, gossip, the view that ODGJ cannot live normally, is an attitude that still maintains its negative stigma. The purpose of this study is to find a relationship between students 'and nurses' knowledge about mental health with the negative stigma that befalls ODGJ, Correlational design is used in this study. A cross-sectional research approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire, ie respondents' knowledge of ODGJ was measured by the MAKS questionnaire, and the stigma questionnaire for students and nurses (MICA). A total of 115 student and nurse respondents were sampled in this study. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. Statistical analysis using Spearman Rank correlation test. Correlation value obtained (r) 0.02 (p <0.05). The statistical results interpret the existence of a meaningful relationship between knowledge and the formation of stigma in society. There is a relationship associated with knowledge with the formation of stigma. The knowledge contributes greatly to the formation of a positive mindset of students and nurses about ODGJ (People with Mental Disorders). The role of nurses as educators is needed to block the increasing stigma. Continuity assistance and cross-sector collaboration are needed to succeed in a stigma-free program.

“…This might seem disheartening, but the identification of such educational gaps is the first step in allowing them to be addressed by means of appropriately incorporating anti-stigma training. Following exposure to the mental health curriculum, improved attitudes towards people with mental illness were found in medical students from UK [13] and South Africa [14], as well as nursing students from Turkey [15][16][17] There might truly be a role for the revision of curriculum pertaining to mental health, for anti-stigma programmes to be included as part of the courses. This might turn out to have a more profound educational impact than factual content found in textbooks and learnt by rote, about what constitutes mental illness and how these are treated.…”
