Item type:Publication, Experiences of stigma and discrimination and their relationship with internalized stigma in individuals diagnosed with severe mental disorders in Gran Concepción, ChileThis qualitative study explored the relationship between experiences of stigma and discrimination, and internalized stigma in people with severe mental disorders residing in Gran Concepción, Chile. Twelve participants were selected from a secondary care health center through a maximum variation sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews, followed by reflective thematic analysis. Responses addressed four themes: 1) perception of the diagnosis; 2) perception and experiences of stigmatization and discrimination; 3) self-perception and internalized stigma; and 4) work. Most participants conceptualized psychiatric diagnoses in negative terms and reported experiences of stigmatization in the family, school, community, work, and health environments. However, only those exposed to stigma in the health area described internalized stigma. This finding highlights the paradoxical role of health services, which, instead of functioning solely as spaces of support and treatment, may also become central settings for the development of internalized stigma, underscoring the need to critically review institutional and professional practices. The study suggests that experiences in the health services may be crucial for the development of internalized stigma.3Scopus© Citations 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Stigma toward people with mental disorders in mental healthcare in Chile(2024) ;Pamela Grandón ;Claudio Bustos; ;Félix CovaGabriela NazarObjective:</jats:title><jats:p> This research aimed to determine the stigma toward people with mental illness among mental health personnel and identify individual, professional, and contextual predictors. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:</jats:title><jats:p> A descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational design was used. The sample consisted of 218 mental health personnel working in Outpatient Psychiatric Units belonging to hospitals and Community Mental Health Centers in Chile. Stigma was evaluated using a scale of humanized treatment, a scale of social distance, and a scale of attitudes in health personnel. In addition, sociodemographic and professional information was collected from mental health personnel and contextual information, particularly the type of outpatient mental health center and the technical-administrative unit that groups all the health centers in a territory. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p> It was found that mental health personnel, in general terms, present low levels of stigma expressed in behaviors of comfort and support toward users, a desire for closeness and social interaction, and reduced stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes of infantilization toward individuals with MHPs. However, intimacy and trust were lower than expected. Only educational levels and health centers were related to stigma. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:</jats:title><jats:p> The low levels of stigma may be due to the evolution of this phenomenon and the country’s mental health policies.3Scopus© Citations 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
