The interviewers who conducted the research were the students themselves. The tool used in the study was a questionnaire of own design designed by a special educator and a psychiatrist. The questionnaire included questions about age and gender, as well as 5 statements of a discriminatory (rejecting) nature and 5 affirmative (accepting) statements indicating full acceptance of people with intellectual disabilities.\nResults: Most of the people surveyed presented positive attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities (approx. 88%). Approximately 12% of the respondents presented negative attitudes reflecting social stereotypes. The groups of students before and after completion of the classes in this subject did not differ in the frequency of the 10 selected attitudes studied.\nConclusions: The vast majority of medical students surveyed present positive attitudes (judgments) regarding people with intellectual disability. Approximately 12% of the surveyed medical students present negative attitudes (judgments) towards persons with intellectual disability. There is no correlation between the completion of psychiatry classes and the frequency of negative attitudes (judgments) towards persons with intellectual disability among the surveyed medical students.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.36740\/merkur202501110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T13:57:54Z","timestamp":1741701474000},"page":"75-80","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The influence of student classes in psychiatry on the perception of people with intellectual disabilities"],"prefix":"10.36740","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Karol","family":"Batko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"STUDENT SCIENTIFIC CLUB AT THE DEPARTMENT OF CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, DEPARTAMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY, MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF LODZ, LODZ, POLAND"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksander","family":"Stefanik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"STUDENT SCIENTIFIC CLUB AT THE DEPARTMENT OF CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, DEPARTAMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY, MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF LODZ, LODZ, POLAND"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrzej","family":"Witusik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MUSIC THERAPY WORKSHOP THE GRAZYNA AND KIEJSTUT BACEWICZ ACADEMY OF MUSIC IN LODZ, LODZ, POLAND"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kasper","family":"Sipowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NATIONAL INSTYTUTE OF GERIATRIC, RHEUMATOLOGY AND REHABILITATION, WARSAW, POLAND"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tadeusz","family":"Pietras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DEPARTAMENT OF CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY, DEPARTAMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY, MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF LODZ, LODZ, POLAND"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"22436","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"1.
