目的：这项研究评估了“结束自我羞辱”（ESS），这是一个结构化的9次小组干预，旨在帮助患有严重精神疾病的人减少内化的羞辱。研究方法：来自两个退伍军人管理局精神卫生站点的参与者在干预前后进行了评估，内容涉及他们的内化耻辱，赋权，恢复方向，感知社会支持以及对社会耻辱的信念。结果：内隐污名显著降低，领悟社会支持和康复定向显著增加。结论和实践的启示：“结束自我污名”是第一个，可能是一个有价值的干预措施，减少严重精神疾病患者的内化污名，既适合专业提供的精神病康复计划，也适合消费者主导的计划和服务。
Objective: This study evaluated "Ending Self-Stigma" (ESS), a structured 9-session group intervention to help people with serious mental illnesses reduce internalized stigma. Methods: Participants from two Veterans Administration mental health sites were assessed before and after the intervention regarding their levels of internalized stigma, empowerment, recovery orientation, perceived social support, and beliefs about societal stigma. Results: Internalized stigma significantly decreased, and perceived social support and recovery orientation significantly increased. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: "Ending Self-Stigma" is the first of its kind and may be a valuable intervention for reducing internalized stigma among people with serious mental illnesses, suitable for both professionally-delivered psychiatric rehabilitation programs and consumer-led programs and services.
