Sažetak
Objective This work deals with the attitudes of students towards the inclusion of people with mental disorders in the community in which they live, ie., what are the general attitudes in your society towards their inclusion. In (o)the(r) studies on the attitudes of students, the importance of particular study is stated and information students have about people with mental disabilities (Edwards, Green, Diwan, & Penn, 2001 ; Corrigan, Green, Lundin, Kubiak, & Penn, 2001 ; Link, 2001 ; Snra Riviera and Arriba Rosset, 2007). On that basis, they form their attitudes. Methods The instrument applied in the study: The Community Attitudes toward Mental Illness (CAMI) measure was used extensively, and in a variety of contexts, for investigating stigma of mental illness (Cotton, 2004 ; Taylor & Dear 1981 ; Taylor, Dear, & Hall 1979 ; Thornton & Wahl, 1996 ; Wahl, 1993 ; Wolff, Pathare, Craig, & Leff, 1996). The CAMI used the general public as participants (Arboleda-Flórez & Sartorius, 2008), so attitudes of the general public were also desired for this study. Through the conducted research it was aimed to find out whether there are statistically significant differences among participants in their attitudes with regard to socio-demographic data and their experience with people with mental disorders. The aim was to find in general what the attitudes of students are towards inclusion of people with mental disorders in the community. The research was conducted during the year 2016. 230 participants were included, of which 82.40% (N = 187) were females and 17.60% (N = 40) males. Results / Discussion The results showed a statistically significant difference among participants with regard to socio-demographic data and their contact with mentally ill people, and predominance of mostly negative attitudes.
