ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To measure the implicit attitude of nurses towards doctors and analyze its influencing factors. METHODS: A total of 356 nurses were selected as study subjects by convenient sampling method. Their implicit attitude towards doctors was measured by Single Category Implicit Association Test. The related influencing factors were analyzed. RESULTS: The response time of nurses on incompatible tasks was higher than that on compatible tasks [(0.87±0.19) vs(0.76±0.15) s,P<0.01]. The median(M) of D value was 0.34. D value of junior college group was higher than that of undergraduate and above group(M: 0.40 vs 0.27, P<0.01). D value in the nurse group was higher than that in the nurse practitioner group and nurse-in-charge and above group(M: 0.43 vs 0.33, 0.43 vs 0.23, P<0.05). D value of the informal staff group was higher than that of the formal staff group(M: 0.35 vs 0.19, P<0.05). The results of ordered multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that establishment was an independent influencing factor of the implicit attitude of nurses towards doctors(P<0.05), after excluding the influence of confounding factors. CONCLUSION: The implicit attitude of nurses towards doctors is positive and mainly affected by the establishment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the automatic implicit attitude and explicit stigma of mental illness,and the intervention effectiveness on the stigma of mental illness in college students.Methods Single category implicit association test(SC-IAT) and questionnaire survey were used to study the degree of implicit and explicit mental illness stigma among 30 college students of Peking University,and investigated the effect of two strategies,education and contact.Data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 with t-test and variance analysis.Results The D values of SC-IAT in the three dimensions of cognitive evaluation,emotional response and behavioral tendency of college students were 0.29±0.37,0.24±0.43,and 0.10±0.43.There was a statistically significant difference between the cognitive evaluation dimension,the emotional response dimension and 0(t=4.069,P＜0.01;t=2.925,P＜0.01).There was no statistically significant difference between the implicit stigma and the 0 in the behavioral tendency dimension (t=1.423,P=0.167).In the explicit stigma,the mercy dimension score(1.94±0.61) was lower than the median,and the difference was statistically significant(t=-12.286,P＜ 0.01),while the scores of anger dimension (4.62 ± 0.44) and fear dimension (4.55±0.31) were higher than the median (t=13.243,3.200,both P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in the values of implicit and external stigma among pre-intervention,education int.ervention and after contact(P＞0.05).The correct rates of questions "Which of the following situations do you think are considered mentally unhealthy?" and "Which of the following disorders are mental illnesses" (42± 13)％,(54± 13) ％) increased after receiving educational intervention ((49 ± 12) ％,(64± 13) ％),the difference was statistically significant (F=3.682,P＜0.05;F=3.576,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion College students have implicit mental illness stigma,educational and contact intervention strategies can help improve college students' understanding of relevant knowledge,and cannot improve the level of implicit stigma of college students on mental illness.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the implicit attitude and explicit attitude toward death of college students,and the relationship between the two kinds of attitude.Methods:Totally 65 college studems participated in this study.The Single Category Implicit Association Test (SC-IAT,including cognition,affection and behavior) was used to exam the implicit attitude toward death of undergraduate students.The Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R,including five dimensions,i.e.,fear of death,death avoidance,death acceptance,escape acceptance,and neutral acceptance) was used to measure the explicit attitude.Results:Data of the SC-IAT indicated that the differences between the mean reaction time of the incompatible task and compatible in all three dimensions and the total SC-IAT were significant (Ps ＜0.01),and both the D scores of the total SC-IAT and three dimensions were larger than zero.The mean score of neutral acceptance was the highest in the five factors of SC-IAT.Relationships between the implicit effect of SC-IAT and the Mean scores of the DAP-R's five factors were not significant(Ps ＞ 0.05).Conclusion:The implicit attitude toward death of college students is negative,the explicit attitude toward death of college students is neutral.The implicit and explicit attitude toward death of college students is incongruent,and they are relatively independent.
