Abstract(s)
O estigma perante a doença e o doente mental é actualmente considerado pela
Organização Mundial de Saúde (2005) uma prioridade. Neste sentido, nos últimos anos
tem-se revelado necessária a criação de trabalhos científicos com vista ao entendimento
desta problemática, objectivando a melhoria de metodologias de intervenção
direccionadas para o combate da discriminação e do preconceito existentes face à
doença mental (Batista, 2013).
O presente estudo, de cariz quasi-experimental, procurou avaliar o efeito de programas
de rádio realizados por pessoas com doença mental, no combate ao estigma perante a
doença e o doente mental, através das atitudes reveladas pelos inquiridos acerca desta
temática. A amostra foi constituída por 30 enfermeiros a exercer a sua função em dois
serviços de cuidados de saúde gerais. Como instrumentos de colheita de dados foram
utilizados um questionário sócio-demográfico, a versão portuguesa traduzida e adaptada
(Oliveira, 2005) da Opinions about Mental Illness Scale (OMIS) de Cohen e Struening
(1962) e dois programas de rádio com diferentes temas, criados pela equipa que
constitui a Rádio Aurora.
Os resultados encontrados revelaram que a audição dos programas de rádio da Rádio
Aurora não provocou alterações estatisticamente significativas nas atitudes dos
enfermeiros face à doença e ao doente mental.
