详细描述
Subjects and Methods:

Permissions for the study were obtained from the authorities concerned, and the participants medical students were informed about the purpose of the study and signed an informed consent before the beginning of this study.
Methods:
The First part: Consists of socio-demographic data of each medical student, which includes age, gender, family history of mental illness and contact with mentally ill patients in the past 3 months and if he/she received the previous year's seminars or workshops related to the stigma of mental illness.
The second part: Consists of Specific items that measure mental health-related knowledge among the general public using the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS), its validity is supported by extensive review by experts including service users and international experts in stigma research and has been found to be brief and feasible with internal reliability and test-retest reliability moderate to substantial [11].. Part A of the scale comprises six items covering stigma-related mental health knowledge areas (need for paid employment, advice for professional help, medication is effective, psychotherapy is effective, full recovery from mental illness, seeking professional help by mentally ill) and Part B consists of six items that inquire about the classification of various conditions as mental illnesses to help contextualize the responses to other items. A 5-point Likert scale was used, and response options range from 1 = totally disagree to 5 = totally agree. "Don't know" was valued at 3 for the purposes of determining a total score. Items 6, 8 and 12 are reverse coded to reflect the direction of the correct response. The total score was calculated by adding the response values for only items 1-6 (Part A) and ranged from 6 to 30. A higher score indicates more knowledge. The Cronbach's alpha for the MAKS scale was 0.749.
