Özet:

 Aim: This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the attitudes of healthcare professionals toward individuals with mental illness. Material and Methods: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 153 healthcare workers working in a hospital in Aksaray between December 2021 and May 2022 who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study without sample selection. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Community Attitudes towards Individuals with Mental Problems Scale and Empathy Level Determination Scale. In the evaluation of the data, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis were performed. Results: When the findings were evaluated, the attitudes of healthcare professionals towards individuals with mental illness were found to be negative. It is seen that empathic tendency decreases as the negative attitude towards mental illness develops. As a result of the regression analysis, the variable of thinking that the individual with mental illness is aggressive explains 8.1 of the community mental health ideology scores, 14.3 when the empathic tendency variable is added to the model, and 16 when the variable would you rent your house to someone with mental problems assuming that heshe is a landlord? is added to the model. Conclusion: It will be important to plan health services to increase the empathy level of health professionals, which is effective in developing positive attitudes towards individuals with mental illness.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma sağlık çalışanların ruhsal bozukluğu olan bireylere yönelik tutumunu etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı kesitsel türde bir çalışmadır. Örneklemini Aralık 2021-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında Aksarayda bir hastanede çalışan, dahil edilme kriterlerini taşıyan ve örnekleme seçimine gidilmeden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 153 sağlık çalışanı oluşturmuştur. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Ruhsal Sorunlu Bireylere Yönelik Toplum Tutumları Ölçeği ve Empati Düzeyi Belirleme Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, pearson korelasyon analizi ve stepwise regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bulgular değerlendirildiğinde sağlık çalışanlarının ruhsal hastalığı olan bireylere yönelik tutumu, olumsuz düzeyde bulunmuştur. Ruhsal hastalığa yönelik olumsuz tutum geliştikçe empatik eğilimin azaldığı görülmektedir. Regresyon analizi sonucunda ruhsal hastalığı olan bireyin saldırgan olduğunu düşünme değişkeni toplum ruh sağlığı ideolojisi puanlarının 8,1ini açıklarken, empatik eğilim değişkeni modele eklendiğinde 14,3ünü ve ev sahibi olduğu varsayıldığında ruhsal sorunu olan birine evinizi kiraya verir misiniz? değişkeni modele eklendiğinde ise 16sını açıklamaktadır. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının ruh sağlığı bozuk bireylere yönelik olumlu tutum geliştirilmesinde etkili olan empati düzeyinin artırılmasına yönelik sağlık hizmetleri planlanması önemli olacaktır.
