Abstract

Background and objective: Individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) suffer from poorer somatic health and increased mortality compared to the general population. As experiences of stigmatization can have a negative impact on physical health, this study aims to determine how often people with SMI experience stigmatization in the somatic healthcare system in Germany.

Methods: Online survey to measure experiences of stigmatization according to the Mental Illness Stigma Framework (MISF) of people with vs. without SMI.

Results: People with SMI report significantly more instances of stigmatization across the three subscales, discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice and, within these situations, they also report experiencing stigmatization more frequently.

Conclusion: People with SMI experience significantly more discrimination in the somatic healthcare system due to their diagnosis. This study points to the need for antistigmatization measures in somatic healthcare and offers ideas for future research.

[在躯体医疗保健系统中经历的耻辱：对诊断为严重精神疾病的人的调查]。

背景和目的：与一般人群相比，患有严重精神疾病（SMI）的个体身体健康状况较差，死亡率较高。由于污名化的经历会对身体健康产生负面影响，本研究旨在确定重度精神病人在德国躯体医疗保健系统中遭受污名化的频率。方法：根据精神疾病污名框架（MISF）对重度精神分裂症患者和非重度精神分裂症患者的污名化经历进行在线调查。结果：重度精神障碍患者在歧视、刻板印象和偏见这三个子量表中报告的污名化情况明显更多，在这些情况下，他们也更频繁地报告遭受污名化。结论：重度精神分裂症患者在躯体医疗保健系统中因其诊断而受到更多的歧视。该研究指出了在躯体保健中需要采取反污名化措施，并为未来的研究提供了思路。
