“…The present study focused on the evaluation of stigma toward the psychiatry domain and patients with psychiatric disorders, as presented by medical university students from 65 countries, taking into account the factors of gender, discipline, whether or not they had finished a training course in psychiatry and individual and/or students' family mental problems. The study also analyzed stigma attitudes internationally by grouping respondents according to the GDP-based income per capita and HDI indices of their home countries ( 21 ).…”

“…We believe that this inverse relationship is driven by better access to education in nations with higher HDI values. It is worth mentioning that education parameters are one of the components of the HDI index, defined as a derivative of the average number of education years received by residents aged 25 and older and the expected years of education for children beginning the education process ( 21 ).…”

“…In order to examine the effects of socio-demographics, participants were split according to HDI and GDP groups based on data from the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program ( 20 , 21 ). Groups were identified with very high, high, medium and low HDI indices, and were categorized by high, upper-middle, lower-middle, and low GDP income per capita.…”

Stigma Levels Toward Psychiatric Patients Among Medical Students—A Worldwide Online Survey Across 65 Countries

et al. 2021

Background: According to epidemiological data, over 450 million people worldwide suffer from mental disorders, presenting one of the major challenges of modern medicine. In their everyday lives, patients, in addition to fighting the disease itself, often struggle with stigmatization. This phenomenon negatively affects both the diagnostic and therapeutic processes, as well as the patients' everyday functioning. This study aimed to assess stigma attitudes toward psychiatry and psychiatric patients among undergraduate medical students.Methods: This study used a Computer-Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), which included the standardized items from the Mental Illness: Clinicians' Attitudes (MICA-2) scale to evaluate stigma. The study was disseminated via the internet to students from medical universities from 65 countries worldwide. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. The study involved 1,216 students from these 65 countries. Most of the sample were women, and most were medical faculty students and students living in cities with more than 500,000 residents. Taking into consideration Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and Human Development Index (HDI) variables, it can be seen that there was a prevalence of medical students from highly developed countries.Results: For the whole sample, the mean MICA-2 score was 40.5 points. Women and medical and nursing students showed more positive attitudes toward psychiatric patients. Students from countries with the highest economic development levels also achieved statistically lower MICA-2 scores. Lower score means a more positive attitude.Conclusion: Stigma toward both psychiatry and psychiatric patients is common among undergraduate medical students. Female students and respondents with a history of mental disorders in countries with high HDI and GDP per capita indices show more favorable attitudes than other medical students. There is a need to further our understanding of the problem of stigmatization, both among the general population and among medical personnel, and to implement and maintain appropriate measures to reduce stigma toward psychiatry.

“…A theory is simply an explanation or interpretation of a set of phenomena. However, this has not been tested with certainty, but can be extensively, well supported, and accepted as an accurate description by the scientific community worldwide (Gänswein, 2011;UNDP, 2014;Dasic et al, 2020). In order to develop some hypotheses in this article, we need to present some opinions and confirm the previous empirical findings so that it can build the hypothesis.…”

Special attention in the future will emphasize patterns or studies thatare relevant and new in highlighting sustainable economic growth. Weseek to identify the role of factors outside of fiscal and monetary policyon economic growth in Indonesia, such as happiness, demographicpressures, labor force, and human development. For this purpose,the OLS method has presented time-series data (2015-2019).Prediction studies show that happiness, demographic pressures, andhuman development can increase economic growth in a significantdirection. Another finding is that the labor force cannot significantlycontrol economic growth, slowly decreasing growth with a negativeslope. Practical contributions to developing countries can accountfor endogenous (internal) growth over the long term. The qualityof human resources must prioritize productivity, income, and realwelfare. The government needs to plan a policy framework orientedto the fiscal and monetary side.How to Cite:Irwansyah, I., Paminto, A., Ilmi, Z., Darma, D. C., & Ulfah, Y. (2022).

“…However, three aspects were identified as essential and indispensable: living a long and healthy life, acquiring knowledge, and having access to resources for a decent standard of living. These three aspects are taken into account by using, respectively, the following three social and economic indicators: life expectancy from birth, schooling years, and gross national income per capita [31,[33][34][35][36].…”

Sustainable Development and Workers Ability: Considerations on the Education Index in the Human Development Index

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainability is an imperative of the 21st century in order to preserve the environment for the next generations, but sustainable development also requires the introduction and use of new technologies, and the related abilities for their use. The United Nations have adopted the Human Development Index HDI in order to assess human well-being. This index includes a component related to knowledge, the Education Index, which is expressed in terms of the mean schooling years. However, this information does not contain a measure of the student’s ability to solve complex problems or ability to reason, which are fundamental skills for sustainable development. In this study, an improved version of the Education Index was developed by considering the data available from the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This new index takes into account both the social impact of schooling years and the outcomes of the education systems for each country (PISA scores). As a consequence of this new Education Index, a new Human Development Index, HDI*, is proposed. Two case studies were performed, comparing the European and non-European countries, focusing on government education spending. Moreover, the trends of an energy and an environmental indicator are analyzed in relation to the HDI*.
