Electroconvulsive Therapy

28
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a vital treatment for psychiatric disorders but faces stigma.
  • Negative attitudes among the public and healthcare professionals limit ECT's use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a workshop-based educational module for medical students.
  • To improve understanding and attitudes towards electroconvмольвic therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a curriculum development framework and the Delphi method for expert consensus.
  • Faculty feedback validated the workshop content.
  • Assessed student satisfaction via questionnaires after a workshop with 33 interns.

Main Results:

  • The module incorporated 10 topics based on expert consensus and literature review.
  • Strong face validity was confirmed (content validity index of 1).
  • Participants reported high satisfaction and improved knowledge and attitudes toward ECT.

Conclusions:

  • The
  • Basic Course in ECT
  • module is validated for medical students.
  • The course can be integrated into undergraduate medical curricula to address ECT stigma.
