Pharmacy students’ perceptions on interacting with people with mental health problems: a qualitative study

Sidhu, J.; Zamanb, H.; White, S.

Abstract

Previous research suggests that pharmacy workplace contact and the mental health content of undergraduate pharmacy education may not improve students’ negative attitudes towards people with mental health problems.1 However, studies have not explored students’ perspectives in depth on interactions with people with mental health problems and how these may change as they progress through the undergraduate course. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of fourth (final) year students in a UK school of pharmacy on these issues. The perceptions of a sample of first year students on interacting with people with mental health problems were also explored and compared with the perceptions that the fourth year students reported as having when they were first years.
