“…Studies included participants from several disciplines including nursing (Hales, 1996; Liu et al, 2018; Patterson et al, 2021; Schafer et al, 2011), social work (Kokaliari et al, 2017), and health sciences (Al‐Krenawi et al, 2009). Due to the heterogeneity of the studies, the review is unable to determine whether one discipline has a better understanding of mental health than another.…”

“…This study found differences in stigmatizing attitudes toward mental illness between Australian and Indian nursing students. Indian students reported stigmatizing attitudes toward people with mental illness and people with a lived experience of mental illness, compared to Australian students (Patterson et al, 2021). However, while Indian students reported more stigmatizing attitudes, they identified more positive therapeutic relationships with people experiencing mental disorder than Australian students.…”

“…All studies noted differences between students' culture and ethnic group and their understanding of mental disorders. The attitudes of students from different cultural backgrounds, ethnic groups, and nationalities influence attitudes toward mental disorder (Al-Krenawi et al, 2009;Kokaliari et al, 2017;Patterson et al, 2021;Schafer et al, 2011). Schafer et al (2011) found differences between ethnic groups, identified as "White," "Black," or "Black British."…”

Mental disorders are highly prevalent. This necessitates undergraduate students in health‐related courses are provided with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to deliver safe care. Research confirms undergraduate health students maintain discriminative, stigmatizing, and inaccurate beliefs and attitudes toward those experiencing mental disorders. However, there is a paucity of research exploring how culture influences these beliefs. This scoping review addressed the question: ‘What is the impact of an undergraduate student's culture on their learning about mental health?’ A systematic search was undertaken of the MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, and ERIC databases. Results indicate variance between students' cultural beliefs in their attitudes toward and knowledge of mental disorders and understanding of interventions and treatment. None of the identified studies reviewed the ramifications for pedagogy beyond anecdotal suggestions. Educators need to acknowledge the potential impact that students' cultural beliefs have on their learning about mental health and consider appropriate learning activities to acknowledge the role of culture. Research of the impact of undergraduate students' culture on their learning about mental health will provide an evidence base for the development of these learning activities.
