“…Generally, schizophrenia is one of the most stigmatized disorders by both society [16] and healthcare professionals [17]. There are ongoing serious debates about reviewing the diagnostic criteria or changing the name of schizophrenia [18,19]. However, healthcare professionals still consider the DSM-5 when diagnosing schizophrenia.…”

Purpose: It is widely recognized that the attitudes of physicians toward mental disorders have a significant impact on the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of first and sixth-year medical school students regarding schizophrenia through metaphors. Methods: The research utilized a phenomenological design, one of the basic qualitative research designs. The study was conducted among the students of Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine. First and sixth-year medical school students were included in the study. The "metaphorical perceptions data collection form," developed by the researchers, was used. The form consisted of two parts: the first part included students' demographic characteristics, and the second part aimed to determine students' metaphors for schizophrenia through the sentence "Schizophrenia is like ..., because ... (In your opinion, what does schizophrenia resemble? Why?)." The metaphors developed by 144 medical school students about schizophrenia were evaluated within the scope of the study. Results: Approximately half of the metaphors developed by medical school students about schizophrenia were related to the symptomatology of schizophrenia, which constitutes the diagnostic criteria of disorder. The other half of the metaphors developed by students reflected their views that schizophrenia is uncontrollable, a harmful element, or in need of care and attention. There was no categorical difference between first and sixth-year medical school students in terms of the metaphors they developed. Conclusions: Implementing more contemporary and innovative educational models is essential to reduce negative attitudes towards mental disorders in faculties of medicine.

IntroductionSchizophrenia is a chronic, complex and severe psychiatric disorder affecting millions of people every year and inflicting different costs to the individual, family and community. A growing body of evidence has introduced several genetic and environmental factors and their interactions as aetiological factors of schizophrenia. The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to present an updated representation of the global environmental risk factors of schizophrenia.Method and analysisThis protocol is developed and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols guideline. We will systematically search the databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO and Embase until 30 September 2022. We include Cohort studies that have reported one or more risk factors of schizophrenia. We will also search Google Scholar search engine and references lists of included articles. Extracting the relevant data and assessing the quality of the included studies will be independently performed by different authors of our team. The risk of bias for the included studies will be evaluated using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Subgroup analysis, meta-regression or sensitivity analysis will be our solution to deal with heterogeneity between studies. We will use a funnel diagram as well as Begg and Egger tests to check for possible publication bias.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required because there will be no primary data collection or human involvement. The results of this study will be published in an international peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022359327.
