Atitudes Frente Ao Doente Mental:
Influências Do Tipo E Do Nível De Treinamento Universitário
Resumo
RESUMO - A presente investigação examina as influências do tipo e do nível de treinamento universitário sobre as atitudes frente ao doente mental de indivíduos residentes na Grande Vitória-ES. Partiu-se de três tipos de treinamento universitário (Psicologia, Serviço Social e Medicina) e de dois níveis de treinamento (calouros e veteranos) para esquematização de um delineamento fatorial 3 x 2 a fim de se confrontar as diferenças atitudinais em relação ao doente mental, medidas pela Escala de Atitudes frente ao Doente Mental - ADM (Pasquali, Nogueira, Martins e Martins, 1987). Os resultados obtidos, no que se refere ao tipo de treinamento universitário, indicam que os estudantes de Psicologia apresentam, de modo geral, atitudes mais positivas do que os estudantes de Medicina, enquanto os estudantes de Serviço Social não se diferenciam significativamente dos outros dois grupos. No tocante ao nível de treinamento universitário os resultados indicam não haver diferenças significativas entre os indivíduos amostrados.
