Beliefs, attitudes and phobias among Mexican medical and psychology students towards people with obesity.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:A high prevalence of stigmatizing attitude among healthcare personnel towards obese people has been reported. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the beliefs, attitudes and phobias that Mexican medical and psychology students have towards obese people. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted with 528 students enrolled at the Autonomous University of Baja California in psychology and medical schools. Weight, height and waist circumference were evaluated. Beliefs about obesity were assessed with the BAOP scale, attitudes towards obese people by the ATOP scale and obesity phobias by the F-scale. RESULTS:Participants achieved a mean F-scale score of 3.4. Only seven per cent showed neutral or positive attitudes towards obesity (≤2.5). Less fat phobia was associated with beliefs that obesity was not a result of the person's self-control (p = 0.0001) and had better attitudes towards obese people (p = 0.0001). Men had higher risk of fat phobia (OR = 1.5). CONCLUSIONS:High prevalence of phobias and negative attitudes towards obesity was observed. Men had higher stigma. :INTRODUCCIÓN: Se ha observado una alta frecuencia de estigmatización entre el personal de salud hacía las personas con obesidad. OBJETIVO:Evaluar las creencias, actitudes y fobias que los estudiantes de medicina y psicología tienen hacía las personas con obesidad. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio transversal en 528 estudiantes de las carreras de psicología y medicina de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. Se evaluó el peso, la estatura y la circunferencia de cintura. Las creencias sobre obesidad fueron valoradas con la escala BAOP, las actitudes hacía las personas con obesidad mediante la escala ATOP, y la fobia hacía la obesidad con la escala F. RESULTADOS:Los participantes obtuvieron una calificación media de la escala F de 3,4. Solamente siete por ciento presentaron una actitud neutral o positive (≤2,5). Se observó una asociación entre menos fobia con el hecho de considerar que la obesidad no es el resultado absoluto del auto control de las personas (p = 0,0001) y también con una mejor actitud hacía las personas con obesidad (p = 0,0001). Los hombres presentaron más fobia hacía la obesidad que las mujeres (OR = 1,5). CONCLUSIONES:Se observó una alta prevalencia de fobia y actitudes negativas hacía las personas con obesidad. Los hombres presentaron mayor grado de estigmatización.
