A Study on the Cognition and Attitude Toward Psychiatric Disorders of the Military Leaders

I had made a study on the cognition of and attitude toward psychiatric disorders of the military leaders because thoes are the important factors for the profitable and rational treatment of the soldiers. The duration of the study is 4 month (from May to July, 1991) and the subjects are medical officers (general and psychiatric), military officers and staff sergeants. The results are as follows: 1) The military leaders， cognition of and attitude toward psychiatric disorders are relatively negative and rejective, and the military leaders do not expect psychiatric treatment could do much to help. 2) Non-psychiatric medical officers are relatively same with psychiatric medical officers in their cognition of and attitude toward psychiatric disorders except that they are afraid to be with psychiatric patients and they want restriction o f the patients in the hospital. 3) All subjects agree to the following item ; If there were a psychiatric patient in the family, the one affects the marriage of the other members. 4 ) Military officers and staff sergeants are more apt to assess the seperating symptoms lightly than psychiatric medical officers are and regard the suicide idea, anxiety, obsessive idea, drug abuse as same, or more serious than psychotic symptoms.
