背景人们对精神障碍患者的耻辱感的发展知之甚少。目的是调查澳大利亚年轻人的耻辱感以及接触精神障碍、父母态度和信息宣传活动的影响。方法对 3746 名 12-25 岁人群和 2005 名同住父母进行了全国电话调查。根据四个小插曲(抑郁症、酗酒引起的抑郁症、社交恐惧症和精神病)评估污名化态度。结果发现污名化有多个成分,被标记为“社交距离”、“危险/不可预测”、“弱而不是生病”、“在他人身上感受到的污名”和“不愿透露”。自己或他人遭受精神障碍和寻求帮助与耻辱某些成分的较低分数相关,但与其他成分无关。年轻人的态度与父母的态度有特定的关联。接触运动与减少个人“弱而不是生病”的信念有关。结论个人经历、父母态度和运动都会影响污名化态度。利益声明无。
BackgroundLittle is known about the development of stigma towards people with mental disorders.AimsTo investigate stigma in young Australians and the influence of exposure to mental disorders, parental attitudes and information campaigns.MethodA national telephone survey was carried out with 3746 people aged 12-25 years and 2005 co-resident parents. Stigmatising attitudes were assessed in relation to four vignettes (depression, depression with alcohol misuse, social phobia and psychosis).ResultsStigma was found to have multiple components labelled 'social distance', 'dangerous/unpredictable', 'weak not sick', 'stigma perceived in others' and 'reluctance to disclose'. Exposure to mental disorders and help-seeking in oneself or others was associated with lower scores on some components of stigma but not on others. Young people's attitudes showed specific associations with those of parents. Exposure to campaigns was associated with reductions in beliefs that the person is 'weak not sick'.ConclusionsPersonal experiences, parental attitudes and campaigns all affect stigmatising attitudes.Declaration of interestNone.
