Abstract
El propósito de este proyecto es examinar las actitudes que existen en Cochabamba, Bolivia hacia la salud mental y los trastornos mentales. Usé principalmente las entrevistas para descubrir las opiniones de profesionales de la salud mental, estudiantes de psicología y las trabajadoras de un hogar de niños que se llama la Casa de Amor para Niños, donde hice un voluntariado. Aunque los resultados de este proyecto no son generalizables a la población entera de Cochabamba, hay evidencia de opiniones generalmente negativas hacia la salud mental y los trastornos mentales. Sin embargo, también hay evidencia que estas opiniones se pueden mejorar por la inclusión de mejor educación sobre la salud mental. / The purpose of this project is to examine the attitudes that exist in Cochabamba , Bolivia to mental health and mental disorders . I mainly used the interviews to find out the opinions of mental health professionals , psychology students and workers in a children's home called Casa de Amor Children , where I volunteer . Although the results of this project are not generalizable to the entire population of Cochabamba , there is evidence generally negative towards mental health and mental disorders views. However , there is also evidence that these views can be improved by the inclusion of better education on mental health .
