Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to assess the stigma in patients with schizophrenia attending a tertiary referral government hospital. This was a cross-sectional research involving 60 schizophrenia patients at a government tertiary referral hospital. ICD-10 research diagnostic criteria were used for mental assessment. Statistics were analyzed using relevant tests. Of the 30 males, 21 (70%) experienced moderate stigma, two (6.67%) had mild stigma, and seven (23.33%) had severe stigma. The 30 females got 20 (66.67%) moderate ratings, one (3.33%) got a light grade, and nine (30%) had severe stigma grades associated with stigma disclosure. Twenty of 30 males (66.67%) reported moderate stigma, eight (26.67%) reported mild stigma, and two (6.66%) had severe stigma. With respect to positive stigma, 25 (83.33%) of 30 females exhibited moderate stigma. Also, four (13.33%) girls exhibited moderate stigma and one (3.33%) had severe stigma. Significant proportion of patients with schizophrenia experience stigma and stigma is associated with lower level of functioning. Better knowledge about illness is associated with a lower level of stigma.

精神分裂症患者的耻辱感及其相关性

摘要本研究旨在评估在一家政府三级转诊医院就诊的精神分裂症患者的耻辱感。这是一项横断面研究，涉及一家政府三级转诊医院的 60 名精神分裂症患者。精神评估采用了 ICD-10 研究诊断标准。统计分析采用相关测试。在 30 名男性患者中，21 人（70%）有中度成见，2 人（6.67%）有轻度成见，7 人（23.33%）有重度成见。30 名女性中有 20 人（66.67%）获得中度评价，1 人（3.33%）获得轻度评价，9 人（30%）获得与成见披露相关的严重成见评价。30 名男性中有 20 人（66.67%）报告了中度成见，8 人（26.67%）报告了轻度成见，2 人（6.66%）报告了重度成见。在正面成见方面，30 名女性中有 25 人（83.33%）表现出中度成见。此外，4 名女孩（13.33%）表现出中度成见，1 名女孩（3.33%）表现出严重成见。很大一部分精神分裂症患者都曾遭受过病耻感，而病耻感则与较低的功能水平有关。对疾病的了解越多，成见程度越低。
