Knowledge about autism by Polish future psychologists
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.24917/20845596.11.13Keywords:
autism, knowledge, future psychologist, future specialist of pharmacyAbstract
The appropriate level of professional knowledge about autism is the fundamental factor of the adequate diagnosis, treatment, and professional service of children with autism and their families. Although research on the knowledge about autism was conducted in various professional groups and in many countries, not much of it is related to future psychologists and none to students of pharmacy. The aim of this study was to fill this gap. A total of 80 students participated in the survey (40 students of psychology and 40 of pharmacy) and filled in the Questionnaire on the knowledge of autism by Janikowska and Rychlewska. Two assumed hypothesis (1. the higher knowledge of symptom identification and therapy forms among psychology students than in pharmacy students; and 2. the lower knowledge of etiological factors and comorbid disorders among psychology students than in pharmacy students) were partially confirmed.References
