Abstract

Background

This study examines stigma and self-stigma towards individuals with intellectual disabilities among university students, focusing on cognitive, emotional and behavioural dimensions. It highlights the negative impact on social inclusion and the importance of educational interventions.

Methods

A quantitative pre-/post-test design with a control group assessed stigma towards intellectual disabilities. Differences based on the presence of intellectual disabilities and the effectiveness of an anti-stigma intervention was evaluated using the Goratu questionnaire.

Results

No significant gender differences in stigma levels were found. Students with intellectual disabilities showed significantly higher stigma levels compared to their peers without disabilities. The anti-stigma intervention improved attitudes in the experimental group versus the control group.

Conclusions

Findings support the efficacy of educational interventions in reducing stigma and promoting inclusive attitudes. Despite limitations like potential social desirability bias, this research offers valuable insights for policymakers and educators to enhance social inclusion and reduce stigma.

智障与非智障大学生全纳教育：反污名化干预的效果。

背景：本研究从认知、情感和行为三个维度考察了大学生对智力残疾个体的耻辱感和自我耻辱感。它强调了对社会包容的负面影响和教育干预的重要性。方法：采用定量的前/后测试设计，以对照组评估对智力障碍的耻辱感。使用Goratu问卷评估基于智力残疾存在的差异和反污名化干预的有效性。结果：病耻感的性别差异不显著。智障学生的污名水平明显高于非智障学生。与对照组相比，抗污名干预改善了实验组的态度。结论：研究结果支持教育干预在减少耻辱感和促进包容态度方面的有效性。尽管存在潜在的社会可取性偏见等局限性，但这项研究为政策制定者和教育工作者提供了有价值的见解，以增强社会包容和减少耻辱。
