All of them had never taken any psychiatry subject before participating in this study. The experimental group (n=48) was tested by listening to an auditory hallucination<br />audio media, while the control group (n=49) listened to a Thai song. Mental Illness: Clinicians’ Attitude scale (MICA-2), medical student version, was used to evaluate the attitude towards<br />mental illness before and after intervention. The mean scores of MICA-2 between two groups and within each group were compared.<br />Results : Before the intervention, there were no significant differences in MICA-2 scores on attitude towards mental illness between two groups. The mean pre-test scores of the<br />experimental and the control groups were 48.15 and 47.65, respectively (p=0.717). Comparing the mean change scores after the intervention, there were no significant differences between<br />two groups too. The mean change scores of the experimental and the control groups were 1.13 and -0.31, respectively (p=0.108).<br />Conclusion : The auditory hallucination audio media usage had no effect on attitude towards mental illness among the 4th and 5th year medical students who had never taken any psychiatry<br />subject. In further study, the media, timing, and experimental environment should be revised and improved to have the benefit for the medical students’ attitudes.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of the Psychiatric Association of Thailand}, author={Amornmahaphun, Sucheera and Jiranukool, Jariya and Summart, Ueamporn}, year={2017}, month={Jul.}, pages={149–156} }
