Full textAbstract:
This study examines the treatment motivation, stigma, and disclosure in 287 HIV-infected patients in Pakistan. Four validation scales were applied to assess treatment motivation, stigma and disclosure of patients. The results showed that female patients had significantly higher levels of stigma and disclosure than male patients. Unmarried patients had significantly higher levels of stigma and disclosure than married patients. Moreover, the treatment motivation significantly positively correlated with self-disclosure. Stigma significantly positively correlated with disclosure. Stigma and self-disclose could predicate the treatment motivation. The study concluded that female and unmarried patients with HIV positive had more stigma and disclosure. Stigma, and disclosure affect the treatment motivation of patients with HIV positive.

Objective: This article reviews the attitudes towards mental illness and psychiatric stigma in Asian cultures. Method: Relevant literature published in English was reviewed. Results: Psychiatric stigmas in Asian cultures share some common features. However, response to mental illness has many variations across cultures. Psychiatric stigma is prevalent and severe in some but not all Asian cultures. Conclusions: The stigma of mental illness needs to be studied within its sociocultural context in order to understand its origins, meanings and consequences. It may be relevant to examine the indigenous concepts, experience and implications of psychological problems to address problems in mental health care relating to stigma.

The increasing incidence of leprosy in the community causes individuals with leprosy to experience psychological stress. This pressure can come from the individual's internal perceptions such as feeling insecure, feeling embarrassed, and feeling afraid of being shunned. Apart from that, the psychological pressure experienced by individuals can originate from external factors such as discrimination from society, labeling, and isolation in social life. The method used in preparing this article is the PRISMA method with database searches including Google Scholar, Digital Reference Garba, and Science Direct. There are 15 articles selected based on the criteria, namely published in 2018-2023, can be accessed in full text, articles in Indonesian and English, and are qualitative research using the keywords stigma, leprosy sufferers, and community. The articles analyzed were selected according to criteria with results showing that the stigma experienced by leprosy sufferers in the community consisting of self-stigma and public stigma. These two stigmas cause psychological problems in leprosy sufferers.

BackgroundStigma affects not only people with mental illnesses, but their families as well. Understanding how stigma affects family members in terms of both their psychological response to the ill person and their contacts with psychiatric services will improve interactions with the family.AimsTo investigate factors of psychological significance related to stigma of the relatives.MethodIn a Swedish multi-centre study, 162 relatives of patients in acute psychiatric wards following both voluntary and compulsory admissions were interviewed concerning psychological factors related to stigma.ResultsA majority of relatives experienced psychological factors of stigma by association. Eighteen per cent of the relatives had at times thought that the patient would be better off dead, and 10% had experienced suicidal thoughts. Stigma by association was greater in relatives experiencing mental health problems of their own, and was unaffected by patient background characteristics.ConclusionsInterventions are needed to reduce the negative effects of psychological factors related to stigma by association in relatives of people with mental illness.

Full textAbstract:
This paper intends to examine social stigma and family support among HIV/AIDS patients in terms of psychological context. As social stigma among patients has created psychological problems and family members have been trying to manage the issue through social support. Hence, these patients have faced depression, stress, and anxiety in their life as they have been socially stigmatized. This study used a quantitative study design to conduct a cross-sectional survey from 200 HIV/AIDS patients sampled through a convenient sampling technique from district headquarters hospital Sargodha. The measurement scales were used including Demographic Sheet, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), Perceived Discrimination Devaluation Scale (PDSS), and Perceived Family Support Scale (PFSS). The scale was pretested, and the value of Alpha was ranging from .811 to .915. The study findings asserted that perceived social support has a significant positive relationship with psychological problems among HIV/AIDS patients. The depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress symptoms were found to be high among the participants reporting an increased level of perceived social stigma. HIV/AIDS-related social stigma increase fear of rejection, loneliness, and other psychological issues. The results also pointed out that perceived social stigma mediated the relationship between the perceived family support and psychological problems, revealing the fact that it is eminent to prevent the HIV/AIDS-related stigma. Keywords: Social Stigma, Family Support, Stress, Depression, Anxiety, Patients

Full textAbstract:
Researchers have provided evidence that accessing abortion relates to anticipated, experienced, and internalized stigma. These aspects of stigma have previously been associated with increased psychological distress and physical health symptoms. However, there has been no research on how anticipation, perception, internalization, and stigma-related isolation are related to psychological distress and somatic (physical) symptoms. We examined this question in an online volunteer sample of women in Ireland ( N = 155) who have had an abortion. Internalized stigma and stigma-related isolation significantly predicted higher levels of psychological distress, and internalized stigma also significantly predicted somatic symptoms. The direct effect of each type of stigma on somatic symptoms was mediated by psychological distress. Thus, to the extent that women had internalized greater stigma and isolated themselves, they also reported increased psychological distress, and this psychological distress predicted increased somatic symptoms. The relation between internalized stigma and somatic symptoms was also moderated by stigma-related isolation. Our findings complement and extend the existing literature on the relations between stigmatized identities, psychological distress, and physical health problems, particularly regarding women who have accessed abortion. They also indicate that those involved in policy-making and activism around reproductive rights should avoid inadvertently increasing the stigma surrounding abortion.

Full textAbstract:
Veterinary education can result in high levels of academic stressors for students. Students are also susceptible to non-academic stressors, including relationship issues and financial concerns. These can all result in mental ill health, which may impair the student’s ability to complete their studies and go on to a successful professional career. Finding and using strategies early on to help alleviate mental health problems is critical to successful management of these problems, but seeking help may be impeded by the stigma associated with mental health problems. Using a cross-sectional online survey of a sample of Australian veterinary students, the aim of the current study was to investigate the type and frequency of their coping strategies as well as to explore relationships between self-stigma and coping strategies. Female veterinary students reported more use of instrumental and emotional support as coping strategies, while male veterinary students demonstrated more use of humour. Self-stigma was related to less instrumental support, greater self-blame and gender, while males who employed more humour as a coping strategy reported more self-stigma. Improving the coping strategies of veterinary students and reducing the self-stigma surrounding mental ill health is important to improve the wellbeing and resilience of the veterinary profession.

Full textAbstract:
Rates of help-seeking for mental health problems are low amongst refugee communities, despite the high prevalence of PTSD reported amongst these individuals. Research suggests that the key barriers to seeking help for psychological problems include structural barriers (e.g., unstable housing), cultural barriers (e.g., mental health stigma), and barriers specific to refugees and asylum seekers (e.g., visa status). This study examined the effect of structural, cultural and refugee specific barriers on the relationship between PTSD symptom severity and intentions to seek help from professional, social, and community sources. Data was collected from 103 male refugees and asylum seekers with an Arabic-, Farsi-, or Tamil-speaking background. Participants completed measures indexing demographics, trauma exposure, PTSD symptoms, mental health stigma, and help-seeking intentions. Path analyses indicated that PTSD severity was associated with lower help-seeking intentions indirectly via mental health stigma (self-stigma for seeking help and self-stigma for PTSD) and visa security. PTSD severity was also associated with greater help-seeking intentions from community members indirectly via structural barriers. These findings are important to consider when identifying key barriers to mental health help-seeking and developing interventions designed to increase help-seeking for psychological problems, within this group.

Full textAbstract:
Multiple studies have shown that individuals with low self-concept clarity (SCC) are highly susceptible to mental health problems (depression and anxiety). However, despite the increased vulnerability to psychopathology, prior research has not examined the relationship between SCC and help-seeking. Hence, to develop a comprehensive understanding of the aforementioned relationship, well-established predictors of help-seeking (psychological distress and stigma) were included in this study. A total of 111 students completed an online survey. Results indicated that lower SCC was associated with higher psychological distress, lower help-seeking propensity, and higher stigma. However, SCC was not found to be a unique predictor of help-seeking above and beyond the established predictors in the multiple regression analysis. Stigma was further divided into perceived public, personal, and perceived peer stigma. The past literature showed no association between perceived public stigma and help-seeking. In addition, perceived public stigma has been found to be higher than personal stigma. Thus, the current study altered the perceived stigma reference group (from “public” to “peer”) to investigate if this change would influence the association with help-seeking. Consistent with prior research, a significant mean difference was found such that perceived public stigma remained significantly higher than personal stigma (95% CI [1.45, 2.34]) and was not correlated with help-seeking or personal stigma. However, both personal and perceived peer stigma were negatively correlated with help-seeking and positively correlated with each other, such that high personal and peer stigma were associated with lower help-seeking. The results can provide insight for future help-seeking intervention programs and mental health stigma reduction campaigns.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explored how psychosis stigma affects the psychological wellbeing of young people at risk of psychosis and people with psychosis. The efficacy of psychosocial methods to reduce stigma in young people were explored. Multiple methods were used including qualitative, cross sectional, longitudinal and a randomsied controlled trial. Chapter 1 included a comprehensive review of the literature on stigma. Chapter 2 provided a review of the methodology used throughout the thesis. Study 1 (Chapter 3) examined the subjective experience of psychosis using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three super ordinate themes of judgment, disclosure and psychological distress were identified. Analysis of the data suggested a directional relationship between the themes with societal judgments, affecting issues of disclosure and judgment and disclosure issues increasing psychological distress. Possible exits from distress were suggested. Study 2 (Chapter 4) explored relationships between internalised stereotypes (IS) of psychosis and emotional dysfunction in people at risk of developing psychosis. Correlational analyses indicated significant relationships between IS, depression, social anxiety, and distress. Multiple regression analyses indicated that baseline IS predicted depression at follow up. Results suggested that IS may increase psychological distress and in particular depression in young people at risk of psychosis. Study 3 (Chapter 5) explored relationships between IS and emotional dysfunction in people with psychosis not taking antipsychotic medication. The findings revealed significant positive relationships between IS, depression and social anxiety. Multiple regression analysis suggested that baseline IS predicted depression at follow-up but this did not remain significant when controlling for baseline depression. These results replicate the findings of previous research carried out in other psychosis populations. Study 4 (Chapter 6) explored differences in the level of IS and the strength of relationship between IS and emotional dysfunction, between those at risk of psychosis and those with psychosis. Results of the cross sectional analysis indicated no significant differences between the groups on level of IS or on the strength of correlation between IS and emotional dysfunction. This interesting find suggests that young people at risk of psychosis may be internalising stereotypes early and before official diagnostic labels are applied. Study 5 (Chapter 7) examined the efficacy of internet based anti-stigma interventions for young people. Results indicated a non-significant trend towards reduction in stigma, immediately post intervention for the contact and psychosocial educational conditions, however superiority over control was not demonstrated. Findings indicated that internet based interventions for this group should be brief and ensure maximum engagement. This thesis has demonstrated that stigma affects the wellbeing of people whose experiences exist along the psychosis continuum. Research is required to better understand the feasibility and efficacy of clinical and mass media interventions to reduce the negative effects of stigma in people with psychosis and the public.

"Do Individuals With a Concealable Stigma Suffer Less Psychological Distress Than Individuals Who Cannot Hide Their Stigma?" Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2014. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/8094.
Full textAbstract:
Stigma has a negative effect on individuals, which may include psychological distress, anxiety, and social isolation (Pachankis, 2007). Stigma can be either concealable or visible. A concealable stigma is an attribute that is not visibly apparent, but would be devalued if known by others (e.g., sexual orientation, Page 30 2014 Appalachian Student Research Forum mental illness, sexual abuse). Some believe that individuals with a concealable stigma do not face prejudice and discrimination because the stigma is not apparent to others. However, research suggests that those with a concealable stigma may feel the constant need to hide that identity or characteristic, and this may increase distress and anxiety due to the threat of discovery (Pachankis, 2007). We hypothesized that individuals with a concealable stigma will have higher levels of stigma, rejection sensitivity, distress, and anxiety as well as lower levels of self-esteem, relative to those individuals with a visible stigma. The current sample was taken from a larger study (N=408) and consist of participants (n=70) who selfidentified a stigmatizing characteristic. The self-reported characteristics were independently coded by two research assistants as concealable or visible and finally, the assistants collectively assigned the characteristics to each group. Our sample consists of 35.7% concealable (e.g., sexuality, mental illness, history of abuse) and 64.3% visible (e.g., physical appearance, physical disability, race/ethnicity). To test our hypotheses, we used an independent t test to assess the differences in levels of stigma, self-esteem, distress, anxiety, and rejection sensitivity between concealable and visible stigma groups. Results show that self-stigma (t(68)=-.798, p=.428), public stigma (t(68)=-.149, p=.882), and self-esteem (t(68)=-1.320, p=.191) do not differ between groups. By contrast, and in support of our hypotheses, those with concealable stigma reported more rejection sensitivity (t(68)=2.315, p=.024) and anxiety (t(68)=3.030, p=.003) than those with visible stigma. Contrary to our hypotheses, distress (t(68)=-2.599, p=.011) was higher for those with visible stigma than concealable stigma. Future research should be conducted to examine levels of anxiety and rejection sensitivity in individuals with concealable stigma to understand the differences among stigmatized identities and characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
Research indicates that premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can have a negative impact on various areas of life, including interpersonal relationships, productivity and emotional well-being. Existing research in the area of PMS is largely quantitative and has been conducted using a positivist framework; the few qualitative studies undertaken have examined women’s individual experiences of PMS. Further, studies highlighting the relational impact of PMS have largely focused on marriage quality and have employed quantitative methods. These studies have investigated relational experiences of PMS from an individual perspective, or have looked at non-heterosexual relationship contexts, including lesbian relationships. Little attention has been paid to examining in depth, the relational experiences of heterosexual couples who experience PMS. The current study, therefore, aims to provide insight into the lived experiences of PMS among heterosexual couples by taking a qualitative approach. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to explore the experiences of seven couples (14 participants) who either identified themselves or their partner as suffering from PMS. Semi-structured joint interviews were undertaken, in which the experiences of couples living together with PMS were discussed. The interviews were analysed using IPA and three superordinate themes emerged from the data: (1) The “curse” of PMS; (2) Connection and disconnection: the importance of communication and intimacy; and (3) Beyond the couple: social influences on the relationship. These themes support the conceptualisation of PMS as an overwhelming emotional experience that leads to confusion and isolation within the couple. It can also be seen as creating difficulties in communication, empathy and intimacy, which are reinforced by the social norms and stigma surrounding PMS. The current study aims to give a detailed relational account of PMS, which can be argued is missing from the existing literature. A perceived limitation of this study is its reliance on the joint accounts of a small sample of self-selecting cohabitating heterosexual couples. This could lead to various other couple relationships being excluded from the study. Nevertheless, the importance of the current findings and the implications for future research are discussed and suggestions for the clinical practice of counselling psychology are highlighted.

Baker, David. "Psychological perspectives on stigma and self-compassion in adults with epilepsy." Thesis, Lancaster University, 2017. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/87776/.
Full textAbstract:
Section 1 describes a systematic literature review examining quantitative correlates of stigma in adults with epilepsy living in Western countries. To identify relevant literature, four academic databases (PsycINFO, CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus) were systematically searched using key terms related to stigma and epilepsy. The findings of the review suggested that stigma can be predicted by demographic, illness-related, and psychosocial factors; although associations were found to be highly culturally-specific. Detrimental effects of stigma included both physical health, including effective management of the condition, and psychological wellbeing, including difficulties such as depression and anxiety. These findings suggested that culturally-informed educational initiatives and therapeutic interventions which aim to address stigma in people with epilepsy (PWE) are needed. Section 2 describes a research study examining the extent to which self-compassion can predict depression, anxiety, and resilience in PWE, when controlling for other important demographic and illness-related variables. Adults with epilepsy were invited to take part in a survey either online or in epilepsy or neurology clinics. Data were then analysed using hierarchical multiple regression models. In this sample of PWE, self-compassion was found to significantly predict lower depression and anxiety and higher resilience when other significant sociodemographic and illness-related variables had been taken into account. These findings indicated that self-compassion is an important factor in determining psychological outcomes for PWE, providing preliminary support for the use of compassionfocused approaches in this population. Section 3 provides a critical appraisal of the thesis. This includes a summary of the main findings; a discussion of some of the key decisions, challenges, and professional issues identified during the research process; a consideration of potential future research arising from the findings; and personal reflections on the process of undertaking the work.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual minorities must deal daily with their stigmatized identities. Specifically, depression and anxiety as well as psychological distress and self-stigma are common among people with stigmatized identities. Self-compassion has been linked to enhanced psychological well-being and less negative feelings toward the self. The aim of this study was to investigate selfcompassion as a potential buffer of the effects of sexual minority related rejection experiences on self-perceptions of stigma and psychological symptoms. Participants were randomly assigned to a self-compassion induction group versus 1 of 3 control groups (self-esteem only induction; expressive writing condition; true control) to examine whether self-compassion can be induced to reduce self-stigma, negative mood, and fear of negative evaluation. Results did not support hypotheses; analyses revealed nonsignificant effects for the self-compassion induction. However, results revealed a significant main effect for trait self-compassion predicting outcomes of decreased self-stigma, fear of negative evaluation, and negative mood, and increased positive mood.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: People with a learning disability are members of a stigmatised group and research has shown that stigmatisation can have a negative impact on psychological wellbeing. The process of social comparison has been shown to be important in the experience of stigmatisation and has been shown to have been used by people with a learning disability. This thesis aims to examine the perception of stigma in people with a learning disability and the relationship it has with their psychological wellbeing. The process of social comparison in this population will be explored and the possible moderating effect it may have on the relationship between stigma and psychological wellbeing will be investigated. Methods: The study involved a questionnaire-based interview with 43 adults with a mild to moderate learning disability who attended local adult resource centres. Participants completed four self-report measures of perception of stigma, self-esteem, symptoms of psychological distress and social comparison. The social comparison measure was completed twice: once in comparison with other service users and again in comparison with people in the community. Results: Correlational analyses revealed significant relationships between perception of stigma and self-esteem and symptoms of psychological distress. Perception of stigma was shown to be significantly related to negative social comparisons, and negative social comparisons were significantly related to low self-esteem and high symptoms of psychological distress. No difference was found between social comparisons made with other service users and those made with people in the community. Social comparison was not found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between stigma and self-esteem. Discussion: The results provide further evidence that greater awareness of stigma is related to lower self-esteem, higher psychological distress and more negative social comparisons. Furthermore, those that compare themselves negatively to others report lower self-esteem and higher psychological distress. Although there was no difference in the way people with a learning disability compared themselves to their peers versus the general population, the way they see themselves compared to others in general has implications for their wellbeing. The significance of this and the relevance for future research is discussed.

Wendell, Johanna. "Psychological Flexibility and Eating Disorder Spectrum Problems." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2011. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/psych_theses/85.
Full textAbstract:
Problematic levels of eating disorder (ED) spectrum problems are becoming increasingly pervasive on college campuses, especially among female college students. Research suggests that ED cognitions and a lack of body image acceptance are linked to diminished psychological flexibility (PF), which is linked to ED and other negative health symptoms. Two hundred thirty-six undergraduates completed an online survey, and mediation analyses were conducted. PF fully mediated the relation between ED cognitions and non-specific psychiatric symptoms and partially mediated the link between ED cognitions and ED symptoms. PF also partially mediated the link between body image acceptance and non-specific psychiatric symptoms, but not the relation between body image acceptance and ED symptoms. Findings suggest that clinical symptoms and one’s coping style are both important factors to take into consideration in case conceptualization and treatment, and suggest that therapies such as ACT that target PF may be beneficial in treating ED spectrum problems.

Full textAbstract:
Many problems related to information systems implementation are psychological rather than technical. It is necessary to adapt good enough to the current situation in the business to avoid bad user reactions. One of the most important quality factors of an information system is user acceptance. Information system implementation projects have been historically bothered by failures for which user resistance has been identified as an important reason. A poor adaptation of old data may cause user frustration. But the most important problem perhaps is how to deal with the people and know their psychological constraints involved in the system change, their lack of competence And also their reluctance to accept the new system. A poorly designed system interface also becomes an obstacle for the users and they would become more unwilling to tolerate it. This study presents a theoretical and empirical understanding of user acceptance during the implementation of an information system and provides suggestions to an individual and also organizations for tackling such resistance and enhances user satisfaction.<br>Program: Magisterutbildning i informatik

AbstractCancer is both an individual physical, social and psychological crisis for a patient with one of the many forms of this category of non-communicable disease, and also a cause of deep social pain. Cancer spreads its tentacles through families and friends, social groups and the wider economy, generating stigma, financial destruction, social and psychological damage. This chapter makes the case for a very broad social understanding of cancer need, framing cancer as a whole-society problem, with psychological, social, economic and spiritual impacts much wider than the sufferer. This framing also implies greater attention to survivability and human dignity in policies, practices and provision.

Mental health manifested as a lifestyle disorder that is being experienced by everybody all around the world. The authors discuss a range of mental health problems that are due to COVID-19. Their prevalence and implications are assessed. In order to provide perspective, research from India and other countries is cited. The causes and consequences of mental health problems associated with COVID-19 are analyzed.In India, mental health problems were on the rise even before the pandemic. The pandemic, however, greatly exacerbated these problems. Stress, anxiety, and depression became a part of everyone’s life. No one was spared. Strong public health measures to contain the pandemic including the prohibition of movement and isolation took their toll. Being away from work, school, and peers, adjusting to new ways of working and learning, and dealing with job loss were all stressful. Fake news and miscommunication further fueled the problem.A large section of the population was forced to re-invent its workplace, often in unfavorable environments, resulting in a deep sense of unease. Research shows that because of uncertainties related to finances, work pressure, and jobs, there was a rise in the number of cases of mental illness. The number of suicides also increased. Research in India and other countries underscores that COVID-19 compounded all these problems. Stringent public health measures imposed by all governments, although necessary for containing the pandemic, had a major impact on the psychological state of people. Fear, anxiety, and anger are some of its psychological consequences. Anxiety producing information in the media accentuated these problems.Pre-occupation with the pandemic resulted in a neglect of the mental well-being of the patients, healthcare professionals, and frontline workers. This caused psychological distress that varied from panic attacks and collective hysteria to pervasive feelings of hopelessness and desperation including suicidal behavior. The psychological wellness of individuals was influenced unfavorably by lifestyle changes caused by the pandemic that included isolation, limited mobility, social stigma, and ever-spreading misinformation and fake news on web-based platforms.Violence against women and girls was also exacerbated during the pandemic. Violence took place not only within the home but also in other spaces. Violence was severe among migrant workers, health workers, and sex workers. The authors underscore the urgent need for setting- up hotlines, crises centers, shelters, legal-aid, and counseling services.The pandemic might be the much-needed wake-up call to make long-term improvements in India’s healthcare system. It offers an opportunity for India to take greater cognizance of mental health problems and to integrate services to address these problems within the primary healthcare system.

The deinstitutionalization process led to radical changes in psychiatric policies and clinical practice through community psychiatry. However, despite the closure of mental asylum units, the drastic reduction of beds in psychiatric institutions and the placement of psychiatric services within the community, marginalization, social exclusion and prejudice still remain the cause of new suffering for people affected by mental disorders. The main barriers to addressing people with mental health problems are the complexity of providing support, especially after the pandemic and the recent events related to the war, where there is a higher incidence of mental disorders in the population, which leads to a innovative view on mental illness.

"Mental Health Stigma among Medical Students & Residents; University of Jordan & JUH Experience." In International Conference on Public Health and Humanitarian Action. International Federation of Medical Students' Associations - Jordan, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56950/dwll6480.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Mental health problems are seen among healthcare workers, particularly physicians & medical students, who are exposed to a high level of stress at their study & work. Despite the perception of medical students and doctors of the importance of mental health, they have low levels of help seeking for their own psychiatric problems. Fear of exposure to stigmatisation is a crucial contributing barrier to accessing mental health services. Objectives: This study aims to assess stigmatizing attitudes towards mental health and its prevalence among medical students and residents in the University of Jordan and Jordan University Hospital. Method: This is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study, where an electronic questionnaire (Google-form) was distributed, and 801 responses were received back. Data then were analysed using the SPSS software. Mental Illness Clinicians' Attitudes (MICA) Scale is used. MICA Scale is a short, self-administered instrument developed to assess attitudes about psychiatry and people with mental illness. Results: The total number of students participated in our survey was 801 medical students. Most of them were females and the mean age was 21.67 ± 2.26. The mean MICA score of the participants was 45.23 ± 9.59. Males had significantly higher MICA scores compared to females (P-value=0.000). Also, students who take medications for mental disease, students who said they would seek professional help if they needed it, students who lived with someone with mental disease, and students who currently have a close friend with mental disorder had significantly lower MICA scores compared to their counterparts (P-value<0.050). Moreover, students who their household income was higher and students who their father educational level was higher had significantly higher MICA score than their counterparts. Conclusion: Higher MICA score indicates more stigmatization attitude for patients with mental disorder. Males had significantly higher MICA scores compared to females. Keywords: Mental Health, Medicine, Medical Students, Residents, Jordan.

"Stigmatizing Attitudes Toward Depression,Anxiety and Schizophrenia Among Jordanian university students." In International Conference on Public Health and Humanitarian Action. International Federation of Medical Students' Associations - Jordan, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.56950/jzab2514.
Full textAbstract:
Background: One of the most prevalent mental health conditions, depression affects more than 300 million people worldwide and significantly contributes to disability. Anxiety is characterized by disruptive feelings of dread, concern, and uncertainty. Schizophrenia is a serious, lifelong mental illness that impacts 1% of people worldwide. The illness can cause serious impairments and is characterized by positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms. Rejection and intolerance toward psychiatric patients are part of the stigma associated with mental illness, which reduces their prospects of leading more fulfilling lives. We conducted this study to come up with valuable evidence concerning the awareness of depression and anxiety as mental disorders among university students in Jordan. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the stigmatizing views of college and university students toward those who suffer from anxiety,depression and schizophrenia, the desire for social isolation, gender (male and female), and major (medical and non-medical) disparities. Method: This cross-sectional study collected data from all Jordanian universities via Google forms. The survey contains three validated questionnaires concerning anxiety, depression and Schizophrenia associated with Stigmatization separately. Results: 730 people completed the survey, which consisted of three questionnaires, one for anxiety, with 203 responses, of which (66.5 %) were female. While the depression one contained 307 responses, and 72.4% of them were women. And the last one, 223 responds had been collected via the survey in which female consists of 59.4%. Our research showed that people who were medical students or who had already experienced anxiety were more inclined to disagree with the words "Sign of Weakness," "Not a Real Problem," and "People with Anxiety Are Dangerous. “ Additionally, people who had previously experienced depression are more likely to concur with "Could Snap Out of Depression." However, those who received any psychological or medical care were more inclined to disagree with the notion. Furthermore, people who were medical student were significantly three times more likely to disagree with the following statement “Won’t Vote For People With This Condition”. Moreover, people who had Schizophrenia before were significantly twice as likely to disagree with the previous statements. Conclusion: The current study found that many Jordanian college students have a stigma toward people with depression, anxiety and Schizophrenia. In addition, students with no history of depression, anxiety or Schizophrenia showed higher stigma in some subscale items toward people with the mental issues. The present results suggest that more anti-stigma actions should be applied to Jordanian college students to help prevent or reduce stigma attitudes toward people with these mental issues. Keywords: Anxiety, Depression, Students, Schizophrenia, mental illness, stigma

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Postpartum period is a happy period at the same time crucial for a woman and her entire family. Especially young mothers, because they are simultaneously faced with the demands of caring for their babies and experience the physical, emotional, and social changes that occur. Health problems and maternal psychological stress can impact the interaction between mother, baby, spouse, family, and the development of children both in the short and long term. The aim of the scoping review is to review the evidence relating to the perspective of young mothers on early postpartum. Subjects and Method: This was a scoping review were young mothers in the early postpartum period, and the method used was adapted from Arskey and O’malley. Search for relevant articles through 4 databases, namely PubMed, Science Direct, Wiley, and Grey Literature through Google Scholar published from 2009-2019, a type of qualitative research. Results: From the search results through 4 databases, 258 articles were obtained, then after selecting relevant articles and conducting a critical appraisal, seven relevant articles were obtained, and it was found that the perspective of young mothers in the early postpartum period experienced several obstacles, both from meeting nutritional needs, physical changes, and baby care, family planning, economy and stigma. From a psychological perspective, mothers have positive (happy, ready to become mothers) and negative (anxiety, sadness, unpreparedness and emotional instability) coping in this period. In addition, support from partners, families and health workers is needed by young mothers during this period. Conclusion: Young mothers in the early postpartum period need high social support to prepare mother physically, psychologically, and socially. There is a need for more in-depth research regarding the conditions and psychology of young mothers in this period to provide recommendations for improving the health and well-being of young mothers and babies.

The Focus Group was conducted with the help of Assistant Moderator, for an approximate duration of 90 minutes at the setting according to the ease of the participants. Further, it was audio recorded and transcribed for the analysis. The Braun and Clarke Reflexive Thematic Analysis was diligently followed through a series of six steps such as Familiarization with the Data, Coding, Generating Initial Themes, Reviewing Themes, Defining and Naming Themes. The findings highlighted two main themes i.e., Determining Factors of Mental Health Disparity and Improving Treatment Regimen: Making Consultancy Meaningful. The first theme was centered upon three subthemes such as Lack of Mental Health Literacy, Detached Attachment and Components of Stigma and Discrimination. The second theme included Establishing Contact and Providing Psychoeducation as a subtheme. The results manifested the need for awareness-based Stigma reduction intervention for Primary Care Staff aims to provide training in Psychoeducation and normalization to reduce Depression related Stigma and Discrimination among patients diagnosed with Depression."

Full textAbstract:
Weight stigma and physical symptoms of lipoedema (a fat disorder primarily affecting women) are related to depressive symptoms in lipoedema. Expressing self-compassion can improve psychological well-being in chronic health conditions. This cross-sectional survey study explored relationships between self-reported expressions of self-compassion (e.g., self-compassion meditations) lipoedema- related stressors (lipoedema symptom severity, mobility, experienced weight stigma and internal weight bias), fears of compassion and depressive symptoms in 829 women with lipoedema. Experiencing greater stressors did not relate to compassion use. Using self-compassion techniques (n = 66) related to lower depressive symptoms (p = .033) and lower internalised weight bias (p <.001). Interestingly, those who did not practice compassion-based techniques had higher fears of compassion towards the self (p <.001) and towards others (p = .010), but not from others, indicating that fears of expressing compassion may be hindering the uptake of self-compassionate practices. This study suggests that expressing self-compassion could benefit psychological well-being in lipoedema, particularly regarding depressive symptoms and weight-related self-perception. However, the adoption of self-compassionate practices is limited (8%) indicating a gap in self-care practices. Together, these findings demonstrate the potential for promoting compassion-based interventions as a psychological strategy in lipoedema management focusing on cultivating compassion and fear reduction.

Review question / Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the level of stigma and the associated psychological factors among Chinese breast cancer patients. Condition being studied: According to the latest global cancer burden statistics provided by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization in 2020, breast cancer accounts for approximately 30% of the most common malignancies diagnosed in women worldwide.Breast cancer is a significant health concern for women in China. The estimated population diagnosed with breast cancer has been rising, with the estimated 2.5 million cases over the next decade. Despite the positive impact of advanced surgical treatment options, breast cancer patients often face additional challenges, such as breast deficiency, scarring, limb dysfunction, and altered body image. These physical changes can lead to psychological issues, such as a strong sense of shame and avoidance of reality, among breast cancer survivors. Therefore, it is important for medical professionals to consider not only the physical aspects of breast cancer treatment but also the psychological well-being of patients.

Whiteman, Elayna, and Jonathan Röders. The Role of Education in Child Soldier Reintegration. Trust After Betrayal Research Brief Series, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.59498/07744.
Full textAbstract:
This research brief explores the vital role of education in the reintegration of former child soldiers, who are often forcibly recruited or join armed groups under socio-economic pressures. Education is essential for reintegrating these children by equipping them with the skills needed for employment and stable lives. However, several barriers hinder their access, including financial constraints, psychological trauma, social stigma, and community rejection. Many education programs, while crucial, often fail to fully address these complexities, especially for girls, and are typically underfunded and unsustainable in the long term. To improve the effectiveness of educational reintegration, the brief advocates for specialized curricula, trauma-informed teaching methods, and vocational training aligned with local economic needs. Community advocacy is also key to reducing stigma and promoting acceptance of these children as victims rather than perpetrators. It emphasizes peace education to prevent recidivism and promote peaceful conflict resolution.

Ingram, Haroro. Stigma, Shame, and Fear: Navigating Obstacles to Peace in Mindanao. RESOLVE Network, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.37805/pn2020.14.vedr.
Full textAbstract:
After decades of cyclical peace agreement failures and war in Mindanao, the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in early 2019 brought the best hope for sustainable peace and stability in living memory. But the problems within the BARMM and Mindanao more broadly are immense. A trifecta of stigma, shame, and fear is regularly identified as levers exploited by peace spoilers to not only recruit and mobilize from local communities but obstruct disengagement and reintegration efforts. The widespread and intergenerational experiences of trauma across Mindanao hang like an invisible pall over almost every aspect of life. The dynamics of stigma, shame, and fear in Mindanao tend to be multidimensional in that they may emerge from a range of sources and multidirectional in their effect, as different sources of stigma, shame, and fear can push and pull individuals and groups in different ways. Stigma, shame, and fear may act as obstacles but also opportunities that need to be understood and appropriately harnessed in disengagement and reintegration initiatives. This policy note offers a framework of recommendations that are largely grounded in peacebuilding approaches.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population in Greece during the general lockdown period. Specifically, depression, anxiety and stress scores, as well as the factors associated with vulnerability to developing mental health conditions during this period, were investigated. A total of 911 adults participated in an online survey by completing a self-reporting questionnaire that included demographic questions, DASS-42 items (anxiety, stress and depression scales) and other questions related to personal experience. Regression modelling uncovered a significant relationship between gender and DASS scores, with women having significantly higher scores than men for all mental health problems. Participants aged 20–39 years were especially vulnerable to experiencing poor mental health. Unemployed participants reported having worse mental health than others. Having more perceived psychosocial support during the pandemic was associated with lower overall scores. Thus, women, young adults and the unemployed exhibited particularly high levels of vulnerability, while individuals who received social support from relatives and friends during the lockdown were more resilient to the effects of social isolation.
