本研究以「精神疾病態度量表」調查某大學310位護理系學生，對精神疾患之態 度。結果經因素分析歸納出五項護理學生對精神疾患之態度，依序為仁慈性、社會限制、心 理衛生概念、人際病因論、壓抑逃避性。再以逐步迴歸分析五項態度與各變項之相關性，發 現年齡較大者與上過精神科護理學課程之學生較具仁慈性;有接觸過精神病患的學生及上過 諮商學之學生，對精神疾患有較低之社會限制性;曾實習過精神科護理學的學生，對精神疾患 的態度較不傾向於人際病因論。由此結果可知，精神科護理課程及實習對精神疾患的態度有 正向之影響，要改善護理學生對精神疾患原有之負向看法，將諮商學列為必修課程、加強精 神科護理學之內容及臨床實務訓練是非常重要的。

　　　　　This study attempted to look into the attitudes of nursing students with regard to psychiatric patients. A total of 310 subjects were studied. Data were collected and summarized on "attendants attitude towards patients with mental illness scale". By causal analysis, five attitude factors were defined in this order: benevolence, social restriction, mental hygiene ideology, interpersonal etiology, and oppression. According to the stepwise multiple regression analysis, the findings indicated that the older students who had attended psychiatric nursing courses showed more of a benevolent bearing. Students who had personal contact with psychiatric patients and had taken-counseling course tended to lower social restraints on them. Students who had psychiatric nursing practice showed less interpersonal etiology. A conclusion can be thus drawn that in an attempt to further improve nursing students' attitudes toward psychiatric patients, requiring course on counseling, psychiatric course, and practice is very important.
