背景psilocybin的使用,以及其他迷幻药,由于其对精神疾病的潜在治疗益处,医学界的专业人士越来越感兴趣,物质使用障碍(SUD),和姑息治疗。虽然可以肯定的是,随着迷幻辅助治疗变得越来越普遍,更多的研究是必要的,它很可能是未来的医生在这个新的护理的最前沿。目前,根据美国药物管制局的规定,由于psilocybin的背景信息及其目前作为附表1药物入伍,医生接受的培训最少.附表1药物,物质,或化学品被定义为目前没有被接受的医疗用途和高潜在滥用的药物。作为一项规则,关于裸盖菇素的正规教育不包括在医学院的课程中,对医学生的看法知之甚少。因此,这项研究的目的是评估当前医学生对他们知识的看法,关注可能的负面影响,以及对医用psilocybin的看法,以更深入地了解哪些因素可以预测他们对其未来治疗用途的整体看法。方法医学生的知识,关注潜在的不利影响,和对医用psilocybin的看法进行了横断面调查研究设计。数据是在2023年1月从美国医学生的便利样本中收集的,这些样本是他们计划的一至四年,使用41项匿名定量在线调查。进行了多元线性回归模型,以确定对合法化的感知知识和信念是否可以预测医学生对psilocybin用于治疗目的的态度。结果两十三名医学生完成了调查。73%(n=155)是骨科医学生(OMS),27%(n=58)为同种疗法医学生(MDS)。回归模型产生了一个统计学上显著的方程:(F(3,13)=78.858,p<.001),R2=0.573(调整后的R2=0.567),表明更多的(感知)关于医疗裸盖菇素的知识,较少关注其可能的不利影响,以及对消遣使用裸盖菇素合法化的更高信念,极大地促进了对医疗实践中裸盖菇素使用的积极看法。结论在这个样本中,医学生对他们对医用psilocybin的知识有更多的自我评估,对其潜在不利影响的关注较少,关于休闲psilocybin合法化的更积极的观点预测了对其医疗用途的积极态度。有趣的是,尽管一些参与者对psilocybin用于医疗用途的合法化有积极的看法,认可其合法化的娱乐是有关更大的积极的态度对医疗psilocybin一般,一个似乎有点违反直觉的发现。有必要进行更多的研究,以进一步探索医学学员对它的态度,因为psilocybin是一种有前途的治疗干预措施。如果药用psilocybin继续受到患者和医生的关注,必须评估其治疗效果,正确使用,给药,以及潜在的负面影响,除了准备学生在必要时认可治疗性psilocybin。
Background Psilocybin use, along with other psychedelics, has seen an increased interest among professionals in the medical community due to its potential therapeutic benefits for psychiatric disorders, substance use disorders (SUD), and palliative care. While it is certain that more research is necessary as psychedelic-assisted therapy becomes more prevalent, it will most likely be future physicians at the forefront of this neoteric care. Currently, physicians receive minimal training because of psilocybin\'s contextual information and its current enlistment as a Schedule 1 drug per the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. Schedule 1 drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. As a rule, formal education on psilocybin is not included in medical school curricula, and very little is known about how medical students perceive it. The aim of this study was thus to assess current medical students\' perceptions of their knowledge, concern for possible negative effects, and perceptions about medical psilocybin to provide a deeper understanding of which factors may predict their overall perceptions of its future therapeutic use. Methods Medical students\' knowledge, concern for potential adverse effects, and perceptions of medical psilocybin were investigated using a cross-sectional survey study design. Data were collected in January 2023 from a convenience sample of United States medical students in years one to four of their program using a 41-item anonymous quantitative online survey. Multivariate linear regression modeling was performed to determine if perceived knowledge and beliefs about legalization would predict medical students\' attitudes about psilocybin use for therapeutic purposes. Results Two hundred and thirteen medical students completed the survey. Seventy-three percent (n=155) were osteopathic medical students (OMS), and 27% (n=58) were allopathic medical students (MDS). Regression modeling produced a statistically significant equation: (F(3, 13) = 78.858, p < .001), with an R2 = 0.573 (adjusted R2 = 0.567), indicating that greater (perceived) knowledge about medical psilocybin, less concern for its possible adverse effects, and greater belief in the legalization of psilocybin for recreational use significantly contributed to positive perceptions of psilocybin use in medical practice. Conclusions In this sample, medical students with greater self-assessment of their knowledge about medical psilocybin, less concern for its potential adverse effects, and more positive views about recreational psilocybin legalization predicted positive attitudes about its medical use. Interestingly, although some participants had positive perceptions about the legalization of psilocybin for medical use, endorsing its legalization for recreation was related to greater positive attitudes toward medical psilocybin in general, a finding that appears to be somewhat counterintuitive. More research is warranted to further explore medical trainees\' attitudes toward it, as psilocybin is a promising therapeutic intervention. If medicinal psilocybin continues to gain attention among patients and physicians alike, it will be imperative to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy, proper use, dosing, and potential for negative effects, in addition to preparing students to endorse therapeutic psilocybin when warranted.
