Stigma Resistance in Patients With Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia Bulletin, 06/04/09
Sibitz I et al. - SR is a new and promising concept. The development of stigma-resisting beliefs might help individuals in their hope of finding a fulfilling life and in their recovery from mental illness.
Methods- One hundred fifty-seven participants completed the "Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness" (ISMI) Scale including its subscale on SR.
- Measures of perceived devaluation and discrimination, depression, self-esteem, empowerment, quality of life, and demographic and clinical variables were obtained.
- Two-thirds of all patients showed high SR.
- SR correlated positively with self-esteem, empowerment, and quality of life and negatively with stigma measures and depression.
- A social network with a sufficient number of friends, being single or married, in contrast to being separated, as well as receiving outpatient treatment, was associated with higher SR.
