[Psychically ill patients from the view point of students from high schools, specialized in nursing education]. / Postrzeganie chorego psychicznie przez studentów szkól medycznych.

The hypothesis that students from medical high schools present an open position to psychical ill patients was verified. There was made investigations through 30 of students from first year of Care and Teaching Health Class from Medical University of Silesia in Katowice. Students declared help and big interest for such kind of patients. We might see a big tolerance and acceptance through the investigated students. Probably, this kind of attitude was affected by media (TV, radio, press). Our results showed the ideal picture of students from nursery high school. On the other hand we have to think about the real attitude to psychical ill patients. Our future investigations during the next year of education will verify our preliminary results.
