Abstract

Background

Adolescents’ mental health-related public stigma, encompassing personal and perceived stigma, may vary according to family dynamics and personal or familial experiences. This study aimed to investigate the association between adolescents’ and their family members’ stigma, specifically whether adolescents’ personal and perceived stigma are associated with other members’ experiences, particularly contact experiences.

Methods

From a population-based cohort of adolescents aged 17 years in Tokyo, 1,198 responses from 378 families (349 target adolescents, 364 mothers, 291 fathers, 194 siblings) were used in this study. Adolescents, their parents, and elder siblings responded to the self-report questionnaires. Personal and perceived stigma were assessed using the behavioral intention subscale of the Reported and Intended Behavior Scale and Perceived Stigmatizing Attitude Scale, respectively. The relationship between stigma and contact experiences with people with mental health problems was examined simultaneously among adolescents and their family members.

Results

The stigma of adolescents and their siblings was lower than that of their parents. Personal stigma of adolescents is associated with that of their siblings. Overall, contact experiences with people with mental health problems were associated with reduced personal and increased perceived stigma. Mothers’ contact experiences were associated with adolescents’ personal stigma.

Conclusion

The stigma toward people with mental health problems may be shared between adolescents and siblings. Mothers’ contact experiences with people with mental health problems may be related to adolescents’ stigma. Family members’ stigma toward people with mental health problems and their contact experiences may play an important role in stigma formation among adolescents.

青少年与家庭成员的接触经历与个人污名感的减少有关，而与感知污名感的增加有关。

背景：青少年心理健康相关的公共耻辱，包括个人和感知耻辱，可能根据家庭动态和个人或家庭经历而有所不同。本研究旨在探讨青少年与其家庭成员的耻辱感之间的关系，特别是青少年的个人和感知的耻辱感是否与其他成员的经历，特别是接触经历有关。方法：在东京以人群为基础的17岁青少年队列中，本研究使用了来自378个家庭（349名目标青少年，364名母亲，291名父亲，194名兄弟姐妹）的1198份回复。青少年、他们的父母和年长的兄弟姐妹回答了自我报告问卷。个人和感知污名分别使用报告和预期行为量表和感知污名态度量表的行为意向子量表进行评估。在青少年及其家庭成员中同时研究了耻辱与与精神健康问题患者接触经历之间的关系。结果：青少年及其兄弟姐妹的病耻感低于父母。青少年的个人耻辱与其兄弟姐妹的耻辱有关联。总体而言，与有精神健康问题的人接触的经历与个人减少和感知到的耻辱增加有关。母亲的接触经历与青少年的个人耻辱感有关。结论：对心理健康问题患者的耻辱感可能存在于青少年和兄弟姐妹之间。母亲与有精神健康问题的人接触的经历可能与青少年的污名有关。家庭成员对心理健康问题者的耻辱感及其接触经历可能在青少年的耻辱感形成中起重要作用。
