RESUMEN
Introducción. Los factores que afectan la calidad de la atención médica incluyen: la escasez de personal
capacitado, el estigma y la discriminación.
Objetivo. El objetivo fue comparar la intensidad de la estigmatización
antes y después del curso de Psiquiatría, se utilizó la escala de las actitudes de los clínicos hacia la
enfermedad mental, versión para estudiantes médicos (MICA-2), diseñada para identificar actitudes estigmatizantes
hacia los trastornos mentales.
Método. Los estudiantes médicos de quinto año que tomaban el
curso de Psiquiatría respondieron de forma anónima la escala MICA-2 al inicio y al final del curso. Además,
se les preguntó sobre su interés en aprender más sobre los trastornos mentales.
Resultados. Se invitaron
a 330 estudiantes; 300 aceptaron participar en la primera aplicación de las escalas y 291 en el seguimiento.
La edad promedio fue de 22 ± 2 años, con un rango de 20-30 años; con una distribución de género similar en
ambas aplicaciones. En la aplicación inicial, la puntuación media del MICA-2 fue de 41.34 (DE = 7.86, IC 95% =
[40.43, 42.25]). En la de seguimiento, la media fue de 37.10 (DE = 8.15, IC 95% = [36.30, 38.15]). El interés en
aprender más sobre los trastornos mentales disminuyó.
Discusión y conclusión. Observamos una reducción
en los puntajes promedio después de tomar el curso de Psiquiatría, lo que sugiere que las actitudes hacia los
trastornos mentales mejoraron. Un curso de Psiquiatría con mayor disposición y supervisión estrecha modificó
las actitudes hacia los trastornos mentales de los estudiantes médicos, pero su interés en aprender más sobre
los trastornos mentales disminuyó.
