Abstract
Thirty-one psychiatric attendants responded to the
questionnaire which examined demographic characteristics,
orientation (custodialism versus humanism, training programs,
staff meetings, job description and general psychological
knowledge. Attendants of private institutions,
attendants of public institutions and the attendants of
a different type of institution were the three groups of
respondents. Significant differences at the 5% level existed
between the public and private attendants in the
frequency they reported taking care of the ward, the
number of attendants who incorrectly answered the first
question of the Psychological Knowledge Test and the
number of attendants working the third shift. The
attendant employed at the different institution were
round to have more education, were more humanistic and
scored higher on the Psychological Knowledge Test than
the combined group of private and public institution
attendants (significant at the 5% level). The results
indicate that the attendants employed at different types
of institutions differ in a few respects but the reasons
for these differences were not investigated.
