    • Understanding healthcare provider attitudes is crucial for patient care.
    • Previous research indicates varied professional responses to self-poisoning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the attitudes of physicians and senior nurses towards patients presenting with self-poisoning.
    • To identify potential biases in the perception of self-poisoning patients within hospital medical wards.

    Main Methods:

    Main Results:

    • Junior doctors and nurses frequently exhibit unfavorable attitudes toward patients who have self-poisoned.
    • These negative attitudes may stem from the primary responsibility these staff have in managing such cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare professionals, particularly junior doctors and nurses, may harbor negative attitudes towards self-poisoning patients.
    • Further interventions may be needed to address and improve these attitudes for better patient outcomes.
