description In recent years, interest is beginning to focus on the effect of stigmatization in mental health on health professionals, an interest that had initially focused on the general population. Some studies indicate more positive conceptions than the general public, although paternalistic or authoritarian attitudes are frequent, especially in terms of prognosis and in relation to the chances of recovery of people with mental illness. It has been found that professionals consider these people to be violent, that they manifest a desire for social distancing, doubts about their ability to adapt socially, negative expectations of recovery, and even that stigmatizing attitudes become more acute as their training progresses.The objective was to identify stigmatizing conceptions towards people with mental disorders in health professionals. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional research was conducted between August 2022 and March 2023, using validated scales to determine cognitive, attitudinal and emotional aspects towards people with mental health conditions. Personal data protection was ensured, a questionnaire coding system was used, informed consent was obtained, and the study was evaluated and approved by the CIEIS-FCM for research on human subjects. The sample consisted of 111 active professionals from different disciplines of a university hospital in Cordoba, Argentina. Preliminary results show that the greater the proximity (contact with children, family, neighbors) the less comfortable (p=.001), the greater the ideas of danger the older the person is (p = .014) and the more years of professional practice (p < .001). Feelings of help, coercion and social restriction prevail in all groups, with differences in those who have had enough subjects from the rest (p = .002) in dimensions of dangerousness, segregation and avoidance. Indicators of stigmatization are identified in all three dimensions. And social distance, segregation and ideas of dangerousness associated with the number of subjects, age and years of professional practice.

En los últimos años se está comenzando a poner interés en el efecto de la estigmatizacion en salud mental en profesionales del ambito sanitario, interés que se había focalizado inicialmente en población general. Algunos estudios indican concepciones más positivas que el público general, no obstante son frecuentes actitudes paternalistas o autoritarias, especialmente en cuanto al pronóstico y en relación a las posibilidades de recuperación de las personas con enfermedad mental. Se ha encontrado, que los profesionales consideran a estas personas violentas, que manifiestan deseo de distanciamiento social, dudas sobre las capacidades para adaptarse socialmente, expectativas negativas de recuperación, incluso se ha encontrado que las actitudes estigmatizantes se van agudizando a medida que se avanza en su formación. El objetivo fue identificar concepciones estigmatizantes hacia personas con trastorno mental en profesionales sanitarios. Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, no experimental, transversal entre agosto de 2022 y marzo de 2023, mendiante escalas validadas  para conocer aspectos cognitivos, actitudinales y emocionales hacia personas con padecimiento de salud mental. Se aseguró protección de los datos personales, se utilizó un sistema de codificacion de cuestionarios, consentimiento informado y se contó con  evaluación y aprobación del CIEIS-FCM para investigaciones en seres humanos. La muestra estuvo contituída por 111 profesionales activos de diversas disciplinas de un hospital universitario de Córdoba Argentina. Resultados preliminares muestran que, a mayor proximidad (contacto con hijos, familia, vecinos) menos comodidad (p = .001), mayor ideas de peligrosidad a mas edad (p = .014) y a mas años de ejercicio profesional (p < .001). Prevalecen sentimientos de ayuda, coaccion y restriccion social en todos los grupos, con diferencias en quienes ha tenido bastantes asignaturas del resto (p = .002) en dimensiones de peligrosidad, segregacion y evitacion. Se identifican indicadores de estigmatizacion en las tres dimensiones. Y distancia social, segregacion e ideas de peligrosidad asociado a la cantidad de asignaturas, la edad y los años de ejercicio profesional. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
