Introdução: Estudos na área do estigma associado à doença mental demonstram a presença de atitudes estigmatizantes em relação às pessoas com doença mental tanto por parte do público em geral como por parte dos profissionais de saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as atitudes dos profissionais que trabalham num hospital psiquiátrico português.
Material e Métodos: Estudo transversal e observacional para examinar as atitudes dos profissionais, através da aplicação da escala Mental Illness Clinician Attitude Scale (MICA) e da recolha de dados sociodemográficos.
Resultados: As cotações do questionário MICA foram significativamente mais baixas do que o ponto de corte definido para atitudes negativas, no total e entre as diferentes categorias profissionais, sugerindo que os profissionais em geral aparentam manifestar uma atitude positiva em relação às pessoas com doença mental. Verificou‑se uma tendência de diminuição nas cotações do MICA com o aumento de anos de experiência profissional, embora não estatisticamente significativa.
Conclusão: Os resultados do estudo não contradizem a necessidade de manter a luta contra o estigma da doença mental, sugerindo, ao invés, uma avaliação mais aprofundada de como estas atitudes se traduzem na prática, incluindo a análise de comportamentos estigmatizantes em pesquisas futuras.
