Article Synopsis
- The study explores mental health stigma from an interdependent perspective, focusing on how seeking help could negatively impact one's family reputation, as opposed to the independent perspective of personal stigma.
- Researchers developed the Interdependent Stigma of Seeking Help (ISSH) scale, validated it across eight countries, and found it to have good psychometric properties for research purposes.
- Results showed varying levels of ISSH across countries, with Hong Kong and Taiwan reporting higher stigma levels, suggesting that the scale could aid in understanding stigma's complexity and inform culturally relevant mental health interventions.
Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) have been widely used in health care education to simultaneously assess knowledge, skill and attitude. Due to the high cost of running an OSCE, its application in professional psychology is still limited. To solve this problem, virtual standardised patient (VSP) implementations in creating psychology OSCEs can be a cost-effective method for administering a psychology OSCE regularly.
