Resumen
¿Los psicoterapeutas también deben recibir terapia? ¿Qué los podría impedir? Siguiendo el Modelo
de Creencias de la Salud, se identifican a las creencias estigmatizadas como barreras para la
búsqueda de ayuda, como aquellas relacionadas al temor a la violación de confidencialidad y la
negación de la necesidad de ayuda. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación fue examinar la
relación entre el estigma público percibido y el autoestigma en las actitudes hacia la búsqueda de
ayuda psicológica de psicoterapeutas peruanos de Lima Metropolitana. La muestra estuvo
compuesta por 130 profesionales con formación en psicología o psiquiatría. Se identificaron dos
constructos principales en las actitudes: Apertura para buscar tratamiento y Valoración y necesidad
de buscar tratamiento. Se encontró una relación estadísticamente significativa entre ambos tipos de
estigma, la asistencia actual a terapia y la Apertura para buscar tratamiento, siendo el autoestigma el
predictor más fuerte (F(2,127)=11.5, p<.001). Además, se encontró una asociación significativa
entre la Valoración y Necesidad de buscar tratamiento y la asistencia previa a terapia (F=5.75,
p<.018, B=1.41). Se observó que las mujeres presentaron mayores puntajes en Apertura para buscar
tratamiento que los hombres (t(128)=2.10, p=0.04). Ante ello, se enfatiza la importancia de
profundizar la investigación de la terapia como un medio de autocuidado para psicoterapeutas,
promoviendo su desarrollo personal y profesional, y fortaleciendo la validez y profundidad de
futuros estudios en este campo.
Should psychotherapists also receive therapy? What might prevent them from doing so? Following the Health Belief Model, stigmatizing beliefs are identified as barriers to help-seeking, such as fears of confidentiality breaches and denial of the need for help. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived public stigma and self-stigma in attitudes toward seeking psychological help among Peruvian psychotherapists in Metropolitan Lima. The sample consisted of 130 professionals with majors in psychology or psychiatry. Two main constructs were identified in attitudes: Openness to Seeking Treatment and Perceived Value and Need for Treatment. A statistically significant relationship was found between both types of stigma, current therapy attendance, and Openness to Seeking Treatment, with self-stigma being the strongest predictor (F(2,127)=11.5, p<.001). Additionally, a significant association was found between Perceived Value and Need for Treatment and prior therapy attendance (F=5.75, p<.018, B=1.41). It was observed that women scored higher in Openness to Seeking Treatment than men (t(128)=2.10, p=0.04). In light of these findings, the study emphasizes the importance of further investigating therapy as a means of self-care for psychotherapists, promoting their personal and professional development, and enhancing the validity and depth of future research in this field.
