A multicentre, non-randomised, community-based study was therefore carried out, with a pre-post-test and a three-month follow-up.

The training programme was conducted over different 4 different sessions (8 h in total) and the dependent variable was the Stigma Attribution Scale. Statistical analyses showed a significant improvement in the level of stigma at the post-programme evaluation for all scale dimensions except Responsibility and Help, which were also maintained over time, since at 3 months the reduction in the level of teacher stigma was lower for all scale dimensions except Responsibility and Avoidance. The effect size of the improvement in stigma level was moderate-high for Pity, Coercion and Segregation (d ≥ 0.5). This training programme based on anti-stigma measures led by a mental health nurse was effective in reducing stigmatising attitudes in high school teachers in both the short and the long term.20252025-08-0420252025-01-0120252025-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11268/16074reponame:ABACUS.
