摘要
Objective: The study aimed to determine the relationship between academic teaching staff' mental health literacy levels and beliefs toward mental illness. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 357 academic teaching staff working at a state university in Turkey between July 2021 and February 2022. Results: Significant predictors of academic teaching staff' beliefs toward mental illness were mental health literacy, department, receiving mental health literacy education, seeking psychiatric help before, having a family member with a mental disorder, willingness to work with someone with a mental disorder, experience with a student with a mental disorder in professional life, and thoughts that students with a mental disorder should continue education. Conclusion: Mental health literacy is an important variable in reducing academic teaching staff' negative beliefs toward mental illness. Therefore, training programs can be planned to increase the mental health literacy levels of academic teaching staff and change their negative beliefs toward mental illness.
