Abstract

Psihijatrijski poremećaji predstavljaju jedan od prioritetnih javnozdravstvenih problema kako u svijetu, tako i u Hrvatskoj. Psihijatrijski poremećaji nastaju kao rezultat kompleksnih interakcija bioloških, psiholoških i socijalnih čimbenika. Stoga je liječenje psihijatrijskih poremećaja uvijek multidimenzionalno, odnosno obuhvaća psihofarmakološko liječenje, psihoterapijsko liječenje, te niz ostalih komplementarnih terapijskih pristupa poput psihoedukacije, radne terapije, obiteljske terapije i socioterapije. Stavovi današnjih studenata medicine, budućih liječnika važni su pretkazatelji njihove skrbi za oboljele od poremećaja za čije su liječenje indicirani psihijatrijski lijekovi i psihoterapija. U radu smo istražili utjecaj obvezne edukacije iz psihijatrije na stavove studenata medicine 4. godine Medicinskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Ispitali smo stavove o psihijatrijskim lijekovima i psihoterapiji pomoću upitnika koji su se ispunjavali u dva navrata, na početku turnusa iz psihijatrije te na kraju turnusa iz psihijatrije. Upitnike je ispunilo 190 studenata (stopa odgovora 79,8%). Nakon odslušanog turnusa iz psihijatrije, svi studenti statistički su značajno imali pozitivnije mišljenje o koristi psihijatrijskih lijekova i psihoterapiji, manje izraženo mišljenje o rizicima psihijatrijskih lijekova te se povećala spremnost za uzimanjem psihijatrijskih lijekova i psihoterapiju u odnosu na stavove studenata prije turnusa. Temeljem naših rezultata smatramo da bi se više pozornosti trebalo posvetiti edukaciji o psihijatrijskim lijekovima i psihoterapiji kako bi se održao pozitivan utjecaj edukacije, moguće na kasnijim godinama fakulteta.

Abstract (english)

Psychiatric disorders represent one of the priority public health problems both in the world and in Croatia. Psychiatric disorders occur as a result of the complex interaction of biological, psychological and social factors. Therefore, the treatment of psychiatric disorders is always multidimensional, and includes psychopharmacological treatment,psychotherapeutic treatment, as well as a range of other complementary therapeutic approaches such as psycho-education, occupational therapy, family therapy, and socio-therapy. The attitudes of today's medical students -future doctors- are important predictors of their care for patients suffering from disorders for which the treatment indicated psychiatric medications and psychotherapy. In this paper we determined the impact of compulsory education in psychiatry on the attitudes of medical students of the fourth year of the Medical Faculty of the University of Zagreb. We tested attitudes toward psychiatric medications and psychotherapy using questionnaires that were filled out twice, at the beginning of psychiatry placement and at the end of psychiatry placement. Questionnaires were completed by 190 students (response rate 79.8 %). Ater the placement, students' views about treatment in psychiatry turned significantly positive; they expressed more positive opinion about benefits of psychiatric medication and psychotherapy, they were less concerned about the risk of psychiatric medications and more prone to take psychiatric medications and attend psychotherapy. Based on our results, we believe that more attention should be paid to the education of psychiatric medication and psychotherapy in order to maintain the positive impact of education, possibly in the later years of college.
