Résumé |
Background and aim |
More recent definitions of stigma focus on the results of stigma – the prejudice, avoidance, rejection and discrimination directed at people believed to have an illness, disorder or other trait perceived to be undesirable.
Methods |
During this study, we used Attitudes to Mental Illness Questionnaire (AMIQ), which helped us to understand the differences in the acceptance by the population for 3 different types of diseases: addiction, diabetes and schizophrenia.
Results |
(1) Alban has diabetes. (2) Besnik has schizophrenia.
Conclusions |
(1) The patients with schizophrenia have higher levels of stigma compared diabetic patients or those alcoholics (Table 1, Table 2 and Fig. 1). (2) Statistical processing carried out concluded that have statistically significant differences between gender-stigma (P=0.001), age-stigma (P=0.0001) and education-stigma (P=0.001) (Fig. 2). (3) Health care workers stigma is exactly the same as in general population (P=0.01) (Fig. 2).
Recommendations |
– Support recovery and social inclusion and reduce discrimination.
– Do not label or judge people with a mental illness, treat them with respect and dignity as you would anyone else.
– Do not discriminate when they come participation, housing and employment.
