Abstract(s)
Vários estudos indicam que ao longo dos últimos anos, os níveis de Literacia em
Saúde Mental (LSM) têm vindo a aumentar e como tal, aparentemente existe um
decréscimonos níveis de discriminação e estereótipos sobre as doenças mentais. Assim o
presente estudo tem como objetivo geral a análise de uma possível relação entre a LSM e
o estigma em enfermeiros.
Este é um estudo quantitativo, exploratório e transversal. A amostra foi constituída
por 71 enfermeiros, maioritariamente do sexo feminino (76.1%), com idades
compreendidas entre os 21 e os 61 anos. Os participantes responderam a um
questionário sociodemográfico, bem como ao Questionário de Literacia em Saúde Mental
– jovem adulto (LSMq –jovem adulto) e ao Questionário de Atribuição (AQ-9) para
avaliar o estigma.
Os resultados revelaram níveis elevados de LSM, bem como níveis acima da média
de estigma. Foram observadas algumas relações entre fatores da LSM e do estigma com
as habilitações literárias, bem como com o facto de ter ou não especialidade. As análises
estatísticas revelam ainda relações, maioritariamente negativas, entre a LSM e o estigma.
Conclui-se a importância de fomentar os níveis de LSM com o intuito de promover a
diminuição dos níveis de estigma.
Over the last few years, several studies indicate that levels of Mental Health Literacy (MHL) have been increasing. Therefore, it seems that there is a decrease in the levels of discrimination and stereotypes concerning mental illness. Thus, the present study aims to analyse the possible relationship between MHL and stigma in nurses. This is a quantitative, exploratory and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 71 nurses, mostly female (76.1%), aged between 21 and 61 years. Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, as well as the Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire – young adult (MHLq – young adult) and the Attribution Questionnaire (AQ-9) to assess stigma. The results revealed high levels of MHL as well as above-average levels of stigma. Some relationships were observed between MHL and stigma factors with educational qualifications, as well as with having or not having a specialty. Statistical analysis also reveals relationships, mostly negative, between MHL and stigma. It concludes the importance of improving the levels of MHL to promote the reduction of levels of stigma.
