Stigmatization of people with mental illness has become one of the main barriers to their social inclusion and quality of life, with the professionals themselves reproducing stereotypes and beliefs that are stigmatizing. With the objective of investigating and comparing the level of stigmatization towards serious mental illnesses present between entering students and fifth-year students of the Faculty of Psychology of the National University of Córdoba, a comparative descriptive study was carried out.
The surveyed sample consisted of 242 students who responded about their knowledge of the Mental Health Law and the Corrigan Attribution Questionnaire (CAQ), which measures the level of stigma in various stereotypes. Student's t-tests of independent means with Bonferroni adjustment were calculated to compare the level of stigmatization and its stereotypes between entering students and fifth-year students.
According to the data obtained by applying the Student's T test with Bonferroni adjustments, between the general stigma score of the incoming psychology students and those of the fifth year, it was observed that there is a significant difference between the mean values of the students freshmen (M=109.97; SD=12.44) and fifth-year students (M=104.5; SD=14.24) (95% CI).
In such a way, these results coincide with what some investigations express that, in students of careers related to mental health, it is expected to find significant levels of stigma, in their investigations they also find certain stigma on the part of health professionals, who Together with society, they also participate in the phenomenon of stigmatization through diagnostic and treatment approaches that can be as counterproductive as the stereotype that the community drops on the subject with mental illness. Depending on the results, as students progress academically in the course, their level of stigma decreases. The need to train students as future professionals in the field of mental health emerges, in order to offer a care service within the framework of Mental Health Law No. 26657. |

La estigmatización hacia personas con padecimiento mental se ha convertido en una de las principales barreras para su inclusión social y su calidad de vida, siendo los mismos profesionales quienes reproducen estereotipos y creencias que resultan estigmatizantes. Con el objetivo de indagar y comparar el nivel de estigmatización hacia los padecimientos mentales graves presente entre alumnos ingresantes y alumnos de quinto año de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo comparativo. La muestra relevada fue de 242 estudiantes quienes respondieron sobre el conocimiento sobre la Ley de Salud Mental y el Corrigan Attribution Questionnaire (CAQ), que mide el nivel de estigma en diversos estereotipos. Se calcularon las pruebas T de Student de medias independientes con ajuste de Bonferroni para comparar el nivel de estigmatización y sus estereotipos entre los estudiantes ingresantes y los de quinto año. Según los datos obtenidos mediante la aplicación de la prueba T de Student con ajustes de Bonferroni, entre el puntaje general de estigma de los alumnos ingresantes de psicología y los de quinto año, se contempló que existe una diferencia significativa entre los valores medios de los estudiantes ingresantes (M=109,97; DS=12,44) y los estudiantes de quinto año (M=104,5; DS=14,24) (IC 95%). De tal manera, estos resultados coinciden con lo que algunas investigaciones expresan que, en estudiantes de carreras afines a la salud mental, es esperable encontrar niveles significativos de estigma, en sus investigaciones encuentran también cierto estigma por parte de los profesionales de la salud, quienes junto a la sociedad también participan en el fenómeno de estigmatización mediante abordajes diagnósticos y de tratamiento que pueden resultar tan contraproducentes como el propio estereotipo que la comunidad deja caer sobre el sujeto con padecimientos mentales. En función de los resultados a medida que los estudiantes avanzan académicamente en el cursado, su nivel de estigma disminuye. Se desprende la necesidad de formación de estudiantes como futuros profesionales en el campo de la salud mental, para poder ofrecer un servicio asistencial en el marco de la Ley de Salud Mental No. 26657 Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
