“…Cinema, as a powerful medium, has the capacity to invoke strong emotions and feelings and may influence the viewer's knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and ultimately their behaviours (Byrne, 2009). In terms of mental health issues specifically, several studies have investigated creative ways of tackling stigma and innovative ways of addressing government concerns about societies' negative responses M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 towards people who experience mental health problems (Dale et al, 2014;Harper, 2008). Some studies have looked at film depictions of treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and its perceived use as an instrument of social control (McDonald and Walter, 2009;Sharma and Malik, 2013).…”

The research literature on the use of cinema in nurse education is relatively small. This study evaluates student nurses' learning experiences of a new undergraduate elective module called Madness in the Movies. Ethical approval was granted to conduct the study. Data were collected through an online survey and a social media discussion forum. The anonymous online survey responses were collated via Survey Monkey. Content analysis was conducted on the data from the Facebook discussion threads to understand, interpret and conceptualise the meanings from the data. All study participants agreed that their understanding of mental health issues was enriched, their attitudes and beliefs enhanced and their confidence to talk about mental health concerns increased significantly. This module provides a fruitful approach to encourage critical reflection on mental health issues in a safe environment that closely mirrors authentic practice experiences. The module facilitates the development of students' knowledge, values and attitudes in relation to person-centred mental healthcare.

“…The number of participants in our study (n = 63) is comparable to to that seen in similar recent studies, including one (n = 58) that looked at the effect of an educational intervention on human papillomavirus vaccine uptake in female students [ 33 ], and another (n = 54) that evaluated the impact of an educational intervention on students attitudes towards mental health [ 34 ]. Participants were each assigned a unique ID code to allow pre- and post-trial responses to be recorded consistently.…”

Impact of educational interventions on adolescent attitudes and knowledge regarding vaccination: A pilot study

et al. 2018

BackgroundCurrent immunisation levels in England currently fall slightly below the threshold recommended by the World Health Organization, and the three-year trend for vaccination uptake is downwards. Attitudes towards vaccination can affect future decisions on whether or not to vaccinate, and this can have significant public health implications. Interventions can impact future vaccination decisions, and these interventions can take several forms. Relatively little work has been reported on the use of vaccination interventions in young people, who form the next generation of individuals likely to make vaccination decisions.MethodWe investigated the impact of two different types of educational intervention on attitudes towards vaccination in young people in England. A cohort of young people (n = 63) was recruited via a local school. This group was divided into three sub-groups; one (n = 21) received a presentation-based intervention, one (n = 26) received an interactive simulation-based intervention, and the third (n = 16) received no intervention. Participants supplied information on (1) their attitudes towards vaccination, and (2) their information needs and views on personal choice concerning vaccination, at three time points: immediately before and after the intervention, and after six months.ResultsNeither intervention had a significant effect on participants’ attitudes towards vaccination. However, the group receiving the presentation-based intervention saw a sustained uplift in confidence about information needs, which was not observed in the simulation-based intervention group.DiscussionOur findings with young people are consistent with previous work on vaccination interventions aimed at adults, which have shown limited effectiveness, and which can actually reduce intention to vaccinate. Our findings on the most effective mode of delivery for the intervention should inform future discussion in the growing “games for health” domain, which proposes the use of interactive digital resources in healthcare education.

“…Bajo esta perspectiva, varios autores y autoras abogan por el uso de las películas para promover un mejor entendimiento de las enfermedades mentales. Estas propuestas, dirigidas a diferentes audiencias tales como estudiantes de medicina (Walter, McDonald, Rey y Rosen, 2002), estudiantes de cine (Dale et al, 2014) o el público en general (Rosentock, 2003;Owen, 2007), aluden a una representación a menudo "imprecisa" de la enfermedad mental que conllevan a actitudes negativas hacia quienes la portan. Sin embargo, la aludida "imprecisión" o "inautenticidad" de las representaciones cinematográficas es baremada exclusivamente por su adecuación al DSM y la visión de la APA.…”

ResumenEl artículo aborda la articulación de dos categorías fuertemente marcadas por relaciones desiguales de poder: locura y mujer dentro del discurso fílmico. Históricamente, el cine ha tratado este carácter interseccional a través de los estereotipos de género asociados a la locura. Mediante la asunción del reduccionismo propiciado por el modelo biomédico psiquiátrico, por el que todo sufrimiento psíquico es susceptible de ser interpretado en términos exclusivamente biomédicos, tales representaciones han funcionado como documentos de patologización. Frente a esta tendencia, el presente estudio ofrece un análisis narrativo de dos propuestas audiovisuales que, mediante la incorporación de la dimensión social del sufrimiento de las mujeres, alumbra posibles transformaciones sociales generalmente eclipsadas por el lenguaje médico y sus prácticas terapéuticas.AbstractThe article addresses the articulation of two categories strongly marked by unequal power relations: madness and women within filmic discourse. Historically, cinema has dealt with this intersectional character through gender stereotypes associated with madness. Through the assumption of reductionism fostered by the psychiatric biomedical model, by which every psychic suffering is capable of being interpreted in exclusively biomedical terms, such representations have functioned as pathologizing documents. Against this trend, the present study offers a narrative analysis of two audiovisual proposals which, by incorporating the social dimension of women’s psychic suffering, illuminate possible social transformations generally overshadowed by medical language and its therapeutic practices.

Student filmmakers' attitudes towards mental illness and its cinematic representation - an evaluation of a training intervention for film students

Abstract: The training session was successful in its aims for most but not all students. The intervention is reproducible but further work needs to be done to clarify how best to influence attitudes and behaviour as well as knowledge.
