        Background: The attitudes of medical students towards mental illness are important since these students will be providing care to this group in the future. Aims: To assess the beliefs and attitudes of undergraduate medical students regarding mental illness and to compare students at different levels. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate medical students in the College of Medicine, Majmaah University, Saudi Arabia, during the 2018-2019 academic years. Male students were included from Years 3--5 (25 from each year) and 25 male interns using the proportionate stratified random sampling method. The participants responded to the Beliefs about Mental Illness (BMI) Scale and the Attitudes towards Mental Illness Questionnaire (AMIQ). Results: Bonferroni post hoc tests were used to conduct between-group comparisons of the year 3 group, who were at the beginning of their psychiatric training, with the other groups with more training. This revealed significant differences in scores for 11 of 21 items on the BMI Scale (P < 0.05). All questions regarding the 4 vignettes of the AMIQ (substance abuse, depression, psychosis, and obsessive compulsive disorders) showed a significant difference between students in year 3 and those in the other groups who had more psychiatric training (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The current medical psychiatric training positively improved the beliefs and attitudes of medical students towards patients with mental illnesses.
        Contexte : L' attitude des étudiants en médecine vis-à-vis de la maladie mentale est importante car ils fourniront des soins à ce groupe de patients à l'avenir. Objectifs : Évaluer les croyances et les attitudes des étudiants en médecine de premier cycle vis-à-vis de la maladie mentale et comparer les étudiants à différents niveaux. Méthodes : La présente étude transversale descriptive a été menée auprès d'étudiants en médecine de premier cycle de la faculté de médecine de l'Université de Majmaah, en Arabie saoudite, au cours de l'année universitaire 2018-2019. Nous avons inclus des étudiants appartenant au sexe masculin de la troisième à la cinquième année (25 étudiants de chaque année) et 25 internes de sexe masculin en utilisant la méthode d'échantillonnage aléatoire stratifié proportionnel. Les participants ont répondu à l'échelle Beliefs about Mental Illness (BMI) et au questionnaire Attitudes towards Mental Illness (AMIQ). Résultats : Nous avons utilisé les tests post-hoc de Bonferroni pour effectuer des comparaisons entre le groupe de troisième année, dont les membres étaient au début de leur formation psychiatrique, et les autres groupes ayant une formation plus poussée. Cela a permis de mettre en évidence des différences significatives dans les scores pour 11 des 21 items sur l'échelle BMI (p < 0,05). Toutes les questions concernant les quatre vignettes de l'AMIQ (toxicomanie, dépression, psychose et troubles obsessionnels compulsifs) ont montré une différence significative entre les élèves de la troisième année et ceux des autres groupes ayant une formation psychiatrique plus poussée (p < 0,05). Conclusions : La formation psychiatrique médicale au moment de l'étude a permis d'améliorer positivement les croyances et les attitudes des étudiants en médecine vis-à-vis des patients atteints de maladie mentale.
