Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Physician mental health literacy (MHL) varies by demographics and specialty. Female, unmarried residents and those in internal medicine showed higher MHL, highlighting the need for integrated training strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Mental health literacy (MHL) is crucial for physicians, yet often neglected in medical training.
  • Deficiencies in physician MHL can negatively impact patient care and physician well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess mental health literacy levels among resident physicians.
  • To identify demographic and specialty-related factors influencing MHL in residents.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 305 resident physicians at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine.
  • The 22-item Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) was used for data collection.
  • Statistical analyses included t-tests and ANOVA to compare group differences.

  • The average MHLS score was 16.86 (±2.88), with a range of 0-22.
  • Female and unmarried residents demonstrated higher MHL scores compared to their male and married counterparts.
  • Internal medicine residents scored higher than surgical residents, while psychiatry residents showed higher scores only in the resource subscale.

Conclusions:

  • Resident physicians' MHL varies significantly across demographic and specialty groups.
  • Factors such as gender, marital status, and medical specialty are associated with MHL levels.
  • Educational and experiential factors likely influence MHL, emphasizing the need for targeted, inclusive residency training programs.
