Relationship between the awareness rate of mental health knowledge,attitude towards mental illness and anxiety of basic administrative staff
Objective To understand the relationship between anxiety and awareness rate of mental health knowl-edge and mental illness attitude of grassroot administrative staff so as to provide a theoretical basis for further developing the construction of mental health service and social psychological service system for grassroot administrative staff.Meth-ods 690 subdistrict office workers,neighborhood committee managers and grid workers in Licheng District,Jinan were investigated by convenient sampling method.The survey tools included self rating anxiety scale,mental health and mental health knowledge questionnaire and mental illness related attitude questionnaire.Results The incidence of anxiety was 31.8%,152 patients with mild anxiety(22.7%),51 patients with moderate anxiety(7.6%)and 10 patients with severe anxiety(1.5%).The overall awareness of rate of mental health knowledge is 75.84%.The score of anxiety was negative-ly correlated with the score of mental health knowledge questionnaire(r=-0.404,P<0.01),and the score of anxiety was also correlated with the score of disease attitude related problems(P<0.05);the awareness rate was related to age,educational level,marital status and occupation,and the mental illness related attitude score was related to age(r =-0.131,P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of anxiety among grassroot administrative staff is high,and the total awareness rate of mental health knowledge is slightly higher than the requirement of 70%awareness rate of general popu-lation in China's mental health Program(2015-2020).However,prejudice and discrimination against mental illness still exist,which should be further reduced and the knowledge awareness rate and mental health level of basic administrative staff should be improved.
