| Sumario: | Stigma toward people with mental health problems constitutes a complex and multidimensional phenomenon that continues to limit their social inclusion. This quantitative study analyzes the interaction between knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to stigma, comparing mental health professionals with the general population living near specialized centers. Three validated scales were used: the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS), the Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill (CAMI), and the Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale (RIBS). The impact of sociodemographic variables such as sex, age, educational level, training, and prior contact was also examined. The results show that although professionals possess greater knowledge, this does not necessarily translate into more inclusive attitudes, highlighting the need for interventions that integrate emotional and behavioral dimensions. More positive patterns were identified among women, younger individuals, and those with higher education levels. A salutogenic approach is proposed to promote more empathetic and transformative views of mental health. |
