BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This research focused on the knowledge and attitude toward to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the general population of Hungary. There are only a few studies in the international literature focusing on the public's attitude towards ECT, and no such study has been published from Hungary.
METHODS: Participants were reached through social media and asked to fill out a semi-structured questionnaire on internet that comprised seventeen questions. Participation in the survey was entirely voluntary and anonymous. Participants of the survey were not working in health care; their answers to the questionnaire were compared to those of health-care workers.
RESULTS: The result showed a significant difference between healthcare workers' and lay people's knowledge and attitude towards ECT. Two third of lay participants have never heard about ECT. Those familiar with ECT were relatively well-informed about its certain aspects yet rejection of ECT was significantly higher in the group of lay participants than in health-care workers.
CONCLUSION: Lay people's incomplete knowledge and negative attitude towards ECT was confirmed by this survey. The dissemination of reliable information - which should be the shared responsibility of mental health professionals and the media - would be vitally important to disperse the prejudices and doubts about ECT.
