Stigma towards borderline personality disorder: effectiveness and generalizability of an anti-stigma program for healthcare providers using a pre-post randomized design
Overview
This study evaluates a three-hour workshop on borderline personality disorder (BPD) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) designed to reduce stigma among healthcare providers. Using a pre-post randomized design, the research measured changes in attitudes and behavioral intentions toward individuals with BPD and mental illness more generally via the Opening Minds Scale for Healthcare Providers. The results indicate significant improvements in stigma scores post-intervention, with greater gains observed for BPD-specific attitudes compared to general mental illness attitudes.
