 CHAPTER ONE
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
Mental illness has regularly been a significant challenge and is becoming more and more
relevant in today’s fast paced world, The term mental illness, according to the World Health
Organization, is used to represent a wide range of mental and emotional disturbances that can
impact a person's thinking, feeling, decision-making, mood, everyday functioning, and capacity
to interact to others(1)(7). All parts of the world experience high rates of mental health issues,
which affect every age group, community, and level of income (52) .

Attitude is psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity in with

some degree of favors or disfavor (46).Attitude toward mentally ill person society can have
stereotyped views about mental ill health. Some people believe people with mental health
problem are dangerous, unpredictable and different from others, responsible for their for their
condition, hard to take to and incurable in community when in fact, they are at a higher risk of
being attacked or harming themselves than hurting other people.(44.).

Mental health knowledge includes the capacity to identify mental health problem,
understanding of risk factors and cause, professional help available, attitudes that promote
recognition, and appropriate mental health help-seeking behaviors(29).

People's attitudes and knowledge of mental health issues determine the extent to which they
interact with, support, and enable a person with mental health issues. People's attitudes and
ideas about mental illness include how they feel and express their own emotional problems and
psychological pain, as well as whether they reveal these symptoms and seek help. A person's
beliefs about what mental disease is like and how it should be treated are referred to as their
attitude toward mental illness, and these beliefs could range from acceptance to tolerance to
fear (15).

1
Personal experience with mental illness, acquaintanceship with a person who lives with a
mental illness, cultural stigma associated with mental illness, media outlets, and familiarity with
institutional practices and restrictions (such as adoption and health insurance restrictions) all
influence attitudes and beliefs about mental illness(3).

Many African societies, particularly Ethiopia, believe that mental illness is either the result of a
genetic deficiency or the product of wicked plots. Due to these unfavorable perceptions, mental
health patients are labeled as outcasts and individuals who need to be isolated (5).

The attitude, the road to seeking assistance, and the prevention of stigma and prejudice
towards patients with mental health disorders are all significantly impacted by the community's
knowledge of mental health issues. It is also the cornerstone for creating community mental
health interventions based on research. One of the numerous obstacles that keep people from
receiving the appropriate therapy and force them to conceal their symptoms is the acceptance
associated with accessing mental health services (4).

Stigma, which prevents patients from seeking assistance from medical professionals and other
services offered at state, appears to be another major factor in the underutilization of mental
healthcare. Many patients with mental disorders also likely to seek treatment from traditional
healers before seeing theirs doctors. Even while mental disease affects a large number of
individuals worldwide, it is associated with a number of misconceptions and myths in contrast
to other chronic physical disorders like heart and hypertension(6).

Due to stigma, psychiatric patients are denied the compassion and understanding that have
historically been given to the continent's sickly society (7). Globally, people with mental
illnesses often feel stigmatized by unfavorable society attitudes, which influences their
decisions about getting help, getting diagnosed, and getting treatment(8).

2
1.2 Statement of the problem
Mental disorder are the major burden of disease in worldwide, especially in low and middle-
income countries (LMIC) ,yet the lack of knowledge and positive attitude seen in socialite cause
global mortality and premature morbidity (4). According to WHO, urbanization's consequences
are to blame for Ethiopia's rising trend of mental health issues (7). A 2019 WHO survey found
that 970 million individuals worldwide, or 1 in every 8 people, has a mental disorder, with
anxiety and depressive disorder being the most frequent (3).

Unfortunately, in most part of the world, mental health and mental disorder are not regarded
with anything like the same importance as medical condition, but rather they have been largely
ignored or neglected (11).people perception about mental disorders if attached to knowledge,
encounter with people suffering from mental illness, media portrays, cultural stereotype and
their personal experience of mental disorder (12).

Mental health problems are more common in developed world than in developing world but
this notion has long been disputed. In Ethiopia where malnutrition and infectious disease are
very common, mental health problem are not given due attention however, in Ethiopia
population around 100 million, neuropsychiatric disorders are estimated to account for 5.8% of
the disease( 1). 12 % of Ethiopian people have suffered have suffered from mental health
problem account 12.45% of burdened of diseases in Ethiopia are from psychiatric health
problems of which 2% are sever case. The problem is aggravated by poverty, unemployment,
and the presence of another physical illness like HIV/AIDS(10).
Of all the health problems, mental illness are deficiently understand by universal in community,
such poor knowledge and negative attitude toward mental illness threaten the success of
patient care, rehabilitation, the healing processes unable to use effective treatment ,lead to
stigmatization, inhibit help seeking behavior and provide proper holistic care. Furthermore,
negative attitudes and discriminations deprive victims of human dignity and prevent social
participation. These negative experience contribute to decrease self-esteem and instill feeling
of shame guilty(13).

Population studies have usually revealed that negative stereotypical characteristics

are associated with mental disorders. First of all, people suffering from mental disorders
are considered to be unpredictable and dangerous. Secondly, they are considered to be

3
irresponsible. Thirdly, they are seen as child-like and finally the fourth stereotype is of a
person who is incapable, which is associated with a self-inflicted weakness. At least the first
and fourth stereotypes have been used as explanatory variables in studies exploring social
rejection (41).
it is claimed that inadequate mental health literacy is an issue Because inadequate knowledge is
linked to treatment seeking delays, decreases in treatment seeking, and usage of subpar
treatments,. Other consequences are stigma and discrimination, limited support system, poor
quality of life and limited empowerment and advocacy (43).

The community’s mental health literacy has been found to be still unsatisfactory and needs to
be improved, in order not to hinder community support. People with mental illnesses are often
stigmatized, due to a lack of knowledge about their illness (41). Those stigmatizing beliefs about
those with mental illness (dangerous, incapable of recovering) can cause them to internalize
this beliefs and have an impacts on many area of their lives(14).

Negative attitudes against people with mental disorder and their families is a global problem
with significant clinical and public health issues(11).it was found that stigma can cause a loss of
confidence and self-efficacy in patent with mental disorder, it result of negative belief that will
never be able to recover(16) .Untreated symptoms with mental illness and negatively impact of
families affected by these for example, most people with serious and persistent mental disorder
( mental illness that affect social functioning) are jobless and live under poverty line, and may
face major barriers to obtaining decent, affordable housing, Stigma can also interfere with self-
management (2).

The factors that influencing knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) towards mental illness are

 Education & knowledge level: are individual have less access to mental health
information or they have lesser ability to understanding of such information as result of
their lower education (38).
 Socio-cultural factors: cultural, norms and values play a significant role in shaping kap
toward mental illness. Also cultural attitudes toward mental health, help-seeking
behaviors and stigma can differ greatly across society (47).

4
  Personal experience and exposure: personal experience with mental illness, either
through personal struggles or through relationships with family or friend, can shape
KAP. For example like positive experience, such as successful treatment outcomes or
recovery, can enhance understanding while negative one such as witnessing
discrimination or inadequate treatment make KAP to mental illness worst (Error:
Reference source not found).
 Media influence : like how portrayal of mental illness in movies, TV shows and social
media can either perpetuate stereotype and stigma or promote understanding and
good attitude (45).
 Other factor are social support (46) and influence, access to resources and service (14)
and gender and age (46).

In Ethiopia in general and no enough studies in DIRE DAWA city have been done to assess the
knowledge, attitude and practice towards mental illness among community of DIRE DAWA city,
leg hare unit before. Therefore, this study was carried out to fill this research gaps

5
 1.3 Significance of the Study
Despite mental illness is a significant problem globally, especially , DIRE DAWA city
administration , Ethiopia, and it associated with inadequate knowledge ,negative attitude and
negative practices toward mental illness. As we know there is no study assessment on
knowledge, attitude, and practice towards mental illness in DIRE DAWA city administration..

Therefore: the aim of this study

1. Increasing understanding: Researching the community in DIRE DAWA city's knowledge,

attitudes, and practices around mental illness can reveal the extent of that community's
understanding and awareness of mental health..
2. Highlighting gaps or misunderstandings about mental illness that may exist in the
community, according to the study. This understanding can direct activities meant to
close these gaps, and eliminate.
3. Establishing a baseline: Researching people's knowledge, attitudes, and practices about
mental illness can create an essential foundation for comparisons and assessments in
the future. It can serve as a benchmark against which subsequent research can gauge
progress and assess the efficacy of therapies.

In summary, a study on knowledge, attitudes and practice towards mental illness among the
community in Dire Dawa city holds the potential to improve understanding reduce stigma

inform policies and services and establish a foundation for future research.

24% were the majority care givers for the patient. Care givers considered medical intervention
to be important, but they also advocated supportive intervention such as counseling and family
support. Financial problem was one of the factors that impacted negatively on the follow up of
the patient (22).

Community based Cross sectional study 87.7% of Saudi community

Community based cross sectional study that done on cape town, south Africa , one half of the r

4. Method and material

4.1. Study area and period

The study will be conducted among residents of Dire Dawa city, Lagahare kebele, Eastern
Ethiopia.
Dire Dawa is found in eastern Ethiopia near the border with Somalia dire dawa is approximately
515 km away from Addis Ababa and 63 km from Harar.
Dire Dawa has 2 Woredas (administrative divisions) and 23 Kebeles (subdivisions). The climatic
condition of Dire Dawa is classified as a hot semi-arid climate. Its characterized by hot
temperatures throughout the year, with average highs ranging from 27 to36 degree Celsius and
lows around 16-23 degree Celsius .the city also experiences a dry season from November to
February and a wet season from March to October. It’s a major hub for many ethnic groups in
Ethiopia, especially the Oromo and Somali. The city covers an area of about 1,213km2 with total
population of the 760,963 in 2023.
This Study will be conducted on all Dire Dawa City Lagahare residents from May to October
2023 G.C

4.2 Study design

A community based cross sectional study will be conducted from May to October 2023 G.C

4.3 Population
All community that lives in lagahare Kebele

4.3.1. Source of population

All residents of Lagahare Kebele , Dire Dawa city, East Ethiopia.

4.3.2. Study population

All selected residents in the kebele will be used as study population for this study.

4.3.3. Study unit

Households will be selected for sample.

4.4. Inclusion and Exclusion criteria

4.4.1. Inclusion criteria
 All People who live in lagahare kebele
 All people were randomly selected and agrees to participate

4.4.2. Exclusion criteria

 Householder where eligible respondent were not available at their houses
 All people who are under 18 of age
 People who has serious illness

4.5. Sample size determination

Maximum estimate sample size had to be taken from the results of a previous study done on
dessie town Knowledge, attitude & practice towards mental illness among community but
since there is known result of “p value” 39.7%(0.397) will be used to calculate the maximum
estimate sample size.
Single population proportion formula was determined sample size at 95% CI and 5%
marginal error:
The sample size is calculated by using the single population formula

n= (Zα/2)2 P (1-p)
d2
Where:
P = prevalence point under consideration that took from kAP of community (59%).
d= degree of precision (assumed to be 5%)

14
 
z
(Zα/2) 2 = denotes the value of stand reed normal variable that corresponds to be 95%
confidence levels (1.96).

Then calculating the sample size

n= (Zα/2)2 P (1-p) = (1.96)20.397(1-0.397) = 368
d2 (0.05)2
We add the 5%, of 288 for non-respondent rate it became 386
since study population is greater than 4830 it’s finite

4.6. Sampling technique and procedure

Systematic random sampling method will be employed to select respondents and the first
respondent will be selected by lottery method, then every K th resident will be selected with
interval of : i.e. Kj =Nj/nj
Where Kj=sampling interval
Nj= total number of respondents
nj=number of sample

4.7. Data collection tools and technique

Structured and semi- structured questionnaires will be used for data collection with face to face
interview that going to be translated from English to local language( afan Oromo) to make it
simple and understandable then to English to check it consistency. The questionnaires contains
4 part such as socio demographic , knowledge toward mental illness from Mental Health
Knowledge Schedule(MAKS), attitude toward mental illness from Community Attitude to mental
illness inventory (CAMI) and practice toward mental illness and practice toward mental illness
are adjust from mettu university self-reporting questionnaire . The participants will be
responding to the items on the questionnaire verbally and the data collector will record using
pen. Data will be collected by the principal investigators. The questionnaire will employed after

4.9. Data quality control

To assure the data quality great emphasis is given in designing data collection instrument. For its
simplicity the questionnaire will be pre-tested prior to the actual data collection on 5%, followed
by modification. And questionnaire has been translated to local language ( afan oromo) the
collected data will be reviewed and checked for completeness before data entry; the incomplete
data will be discarded.

4.10. Data processing and analysis

The data collected will be checked for its completeness, consistency and accuracy and then its
will be analysis. Data will be coded, entered into EPI-DATA version 4.6 then exported to SPSS
version 25 for further analysis simple descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, .median and
percentage are going to be use to summarize the results. Frequency is going to be used to check
for missed variable and errors. Any error identified was corrected by revision of different

16
original questionnaire Descriptive statistics (frequencies, tables, graphs, percentages,) will be
used to characterized study subjects.. .

4.11. Operational definition

1. The mental health knowledge schedule (MAKS) is 12 item scale comprised domains
of relevant evidence-based knowledge in relation to stigma toward mental illness.
The coding of the items uses an ordinal scale (1–5). The total score is calculated by
adding the points earned for each of the 12 items. Items with which the respondent
strongly agrees receive 5 points; responses with which the respondent strongly
disagrees receive 1. Greater knowledge is reflected in higher total scores correct
(51).
2. Community Attitude to mental illness inventory (CAMI) Is a forty- item was
developed by 2 researcher at Canadian university and was used to investigate the
public attitude toward the mentally ill people. CAMI is divided in 4 attitude
categories where originalyl each category contains of 10 statements. The four
attitude categories are Authoritarianism, Benevolence, Social Restrictiveness and
Community Mental Health Ideology (49).
§ Authoritarianism measured by Statements like "the mentally ill must be
institutionalized" and "the mentally ill are not to blame for their problems”. This
category tests the participants' understanding of mental illness as a disease, how
it affects those who have it, how it progresses, and how those who are ill should
be treated. A high mean value here denotes knowledge of the causes of mental
illness and a compassionate understanding of how to best care for those who are
ill (49).
§ Benevolence looked into Claims such as “mentally ill have long been the targets
of mockery". A high mean value in this category suggest to paternalistic and
sympathetic view of mentally ill (49,50)l.
§ Social restrictiveness looks into a claim like "Mentally ill are a danger to
themselves and to others" whether those with mental illnesses are perceived as
