Schizophrenia is heavily stigmatized among health professionals. Given that health professional students are future members of the workforce and will provide care for people with schizophrenia, it is essential to implement interventions aimed at reducing stigma among this group. This scoping review aimed to identify and synthesize existing literature on interventions to decrease schizophrenia stigma among health professional students, and to determine the possible gaps in the literature. Nine electronic databases and gray literature were searched, including PubMed, Embase, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, and Google on 5 May 2023. Two researchers independently conducted data screening, data extraction, and assessed study risks. A most updated search was also done on 22 May 2024. The Cochrane risk of bias tool version 2 for randomized trials and Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies were used to assess the studies' risk of bias. Data synthesis and analysis were conducted by two reviewers using a narrative approach. Reporting adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. This review included twenty-one studies with 2520 health professional students. The majority of included studies were non-randomized controlled trials (38 %) and pre–post studies (52 %). Most of the included studies were conducted in the United States (24 %). The participants in ten (48 %) studies were medical students. The number of intervention sessions ranged from one to 13, with an average of three. Seven (33 %) studies had an intervention duration of less than four weeks and 16 (76 %) studies had no follow-up. Various scales were used to assess the outcomes of schizophrenia stigma. Only two studies (10 %) indicated the intervention's ineffectiveness, with the majority of interventions led by psychiatry department faculty and individuals with schizophrenia. Most studies (90 %) utilized various approaches, including face-to-face or online education, direct contact with individuals with schizophrenia, or a combination thereof, to diminish stigma among health professional students. However, none addressed cultural and empathy factors in their intervention designs, and the included studies lacked theoretical guidance. The review only comprised English quantitative studies with significant heterogeneity, with 17 studies (81 %) displaying serious or high risk of bias, limiting comprehensive discussions. These findings offer valuable insights for future systematic review.
