본 연구는 일반인들의 정신장애인에 대한 편견적 태도 및 생각이 어느정도인가를 살펴보고자 하는데 목적을 둔 것으로 크게 3개 차원에서의 비교연구에 초점을 두었다. 하나는 인구사회학적 및 지역별 차이에 따른 일반인의 정신장애인에 대한 편견비교이며, 다른 하나는 지체장애인아 대한 편견과의 비교이며, 마지막 하나는 정신장애인, 그 가족, 그리고 전문가들의 편견과의 비교분석이다. 연구대상은 18세 이상의 성인으로, 일반인 300명, 정신장애인, 그 가족, 전문가 각 100명씩 총 600명이다. 표본은 우선 지역을 선점한 후 지역내 조사답변자를 선점하였다. 지역으로는 서울, 경산, 홍성이 선정되었고, 일반인은 무작위표집하였으며, 나머지는 각 지역의 병 의원을 통해 표집하였다. 자료수집에는 정신장애인 편견척도, 장애인 편견척도를 포함한 설문지를 활용하였다. 분석결과, 우리나라 일반인의 정신장애인에 대한 편견은 그다지 심하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한 인간으로서 이들을 수용하는 정도는 높았으나, 이들에게 '사회적응하여 사는 사람'으로 '사회인'으로서의 역할을 부여하는데 있어서는 아직까지 낮은 수용도를 보이고 있었다. 특히 병원에 입원한 정신장애인에 대한 부정적 인식이 컷으며, 사회봉사의 경험이 편견의 정도를 낮추는데 지대한 공헌을 하였다. 장애인에 대한 편견과의 비교에서는 격리치료에서는 정신장애인에게, 불임수술에서는 장애인에게 높은 편견적 태도를 보였다. 대도시에서의 편견은 낮은 반면, 중소도시와 군/읍단위에서의 편견은 항목별로 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 나이, 교육적도, 월수입에 따른 차이도 크게 보였다. 정신장애인들의 자기편견의 경우도 항목별 차이를 보이는 가운데 타인과의 관계속에서 이해되는 부분에 대한 편견이 높았다. 가족과 전문가에게서도 대체로 낮은 편견을 보이는 가운데 항목별 차이를 나타냈다. 이같은 결과는 특정편견에 긍정적, 부정적 영향을 미치는 요소들에 대해 전분가의 개입이 필요함을 드러내 준 것이다. 정신보건정책의 수립에 있어서도 입원치료중심의 정책이 아니라 지역사회에서 사회전체가 정신장애인들의 인권을 인정해주는 사회통합의 정책을 마련하여야 함도 시사해주고 있다고 하겠다.

Objectives: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Stigma Questionnaire (ASQ) and the effect of the source of information about mental health on ADHD stigma. Methods: The Korean translation of the ASQ was prepared, and 673 participants, 20-64 years of age, completed the questionnaire using an online panel survey in South Korea. The participants also completed questionnaires detailing sociodemographic variables and the source of their mental health knowledge. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to explore the internal consistency of the ASQ. Factor analysis using Varimax rotation was conducted to investigate the structure of the ASQ. Results: The 26-item ASQ demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.940). Factor analysis supported a three-factor structure, including Concerns with Public Attitudes, Negative Self-Image, and Disclosure Concerns. There were no significant differences in the total ASQ scores according to sociodemographic characteristics. Participants who reported the internet as their major source of information about mental health showed higher ASQ scores compared to those who used other sources for mental health information. Conclusion: The Korean translation of the ASQ has acceptable psychometric properties among Korean adults. Inaccurate information from the internet could increase the stigma toward ADHD.

수정된 낙인이론에 의하면 정신장애인에 대한 일반인의 낙인은 사회화과정에서 정신장애인에게 내면화되어 사회적응에 부정적 영향을 미치게 된다. 이런 이론적 전제를 가지고 본 연구는 지역사회에서 생활하는 정신장애인 377명을 대상으로 지각된 낙인이 삶의 만족과 자아존중감에 영향을 미치는 경로를 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 지각된 낙인은 삶의 만족에 직접적 효과를 갖기도 하지만 차별경험을 매개로 한 간접적 효과를 가지기도 한다. 둘째, 지각된 낙인이 자아존중감에 미치는 직접적 효과는 없지만 차별경험과 차별상황에 대한 내재적 귀인을 매개로 한 간접적 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 지각된 낙인의 부정적 효과를 줄이기 위해서는 일반인을 대상으로 한 교육과 정보제공도 중요하지만 정신장애인과 그 가족이 주도하는 낙인극복캠페인을 통해 스스로를 옹호하고 권한부여 하는 프로그램이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate the Infertility Stigma Scale (ISS) into Korean and to evaluate its reliability and validity in the Korean context. Methods: Data were collected from 350 women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF). Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 25.0 and AMOS 22.0. Content validity was analyzed using the item-level content validity index (I-CVI) and scale-level content validity index/averaging (S-CVI/Ave). The preliminary survey was conducted on 20 women who had experienced IVF at least once to check the level of understanding of the tool and the time required to fill out the questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to test construct validity. Additionally, hypothesis-testing construct validity were tested. Cronbach's α was used to assess the reliability. Results: The Korean-ISS (K-ISS) consists of 25 items, excluding two items from the original ISS questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis identified four factors, which explained 75.6% of the total variance. The four distinct factors were infertility stigma with self-devaluation (56.8%), public stigma (8.1%), social withdrawal (6.5%), and family stigma (4.2%). In the confirmatory factor analysis, the 25 items in the four-factor structure were validated (χ² /df ≤ 3, RMSEA ≤ 10). The hypothesis-testing construct validity of K-ISS against FPI (r = .58~.71, p < .001) and FQI (r = - .49~- .65, p < .001) was tested and found to be significant. The internal consistency reliability of the K-ISS, assessed using Cronbach's α, was .97. Conclusion: The K-ISS has satisfactory construct validity and reliability; therefore, it can help minimize the negative impact of stigma by measuring the stigma associated with women experiencing infertility.

Background: Professional dance is a physically demanding career path with a high injury prevalence, yet an ingrained culture of hiding or pushing through injuries. Developing better knowledge surrounding the cultural beliefs and behaviors related to injury reporting is critical to understand their incidence and burden. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate injury fear and injury reporting behaviors in professional dancers in Australia. Methods: This study utilized data collected in a cross-sectional survey of professional dancers in Australia. Descriptive analysis of injury fear and reporting stigma are presented with comparisons between subgroups (full-time versus part-time dancers; men versus women) conducted using two-sided Fisher's exact tests. Results: A total of 146 professional dancers were included. Over half (63%) of the respondents reported that they fear sustaining a dance-related injury, that they believe there is still a stigma surrounding injuries in dance (62%), and that this stigma has led to a delay in reporting or seeking care for an injury (51%). A lower proportion of part-time than full-time dancers reported that they would usually tell someone within their dance employment about an injury (35.1% vs. 59.6%, p = 0.006). Conclusion: Professional dancers are at risk of losing contracts or roles if they are injured, and therefore, it is common to dance through their occurrence. Many dancers, particularly those dancing part-time, are unwilling to tell their employers about their injuries. Action is required to improve this culture regarding injury reporting and help seeking for more effective injury understanding, prevention, and management in dance.

Objectives: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention among youth seems under-prioritised compared to other key populations. HIV knowledge and stigma are important parts of HIV prevention. To inform HIV prevention among youths, this study quantitatively analysed the associations between open communication regarding sexuality and sexual health, comprehensive HIV knowledge, and non-stigmatising attitudes in Indonesia. Methods: This study used data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2017. The analysis included unmarried men and women aged 15-25 years old. Comprehensive HIV knowledge and a stigmatising attitude were defined according to the IDHS 2017. Open communication about sexuality and sexual health was defined as the number of people with whom participants could openly discuss these topics in their direct network of friends, family, and service providers, with a scale ranging from 0 to a maximum of 7. Primary analysis used binomial logistic regression with weighting adjustments. Results: The final analysis included 22 864 respondents. Twenty-two percent of youth had no one in their direct network with whom to openly discuss sexual matters, only 14.1% had comprehensive HIV knowledge, and 85.9% showed stigmatising attitudes. Youth mostly discussed sex with their friends (55.2%), and were less likely to discuss it with family members, showing a predominant pattern of peer-to-peer communication. Multivariate analysis showed that having a larger network for communication about sexuality and sexual health was associated with more HIV knowledge and less stigmatising attitudes. Conclusions: Having more opportunities for open sex communication in one's direct social network is associated with more HIV knowledge and less stigmatising attitudes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to clarify the social stigma phenomenon in teachers' perceptions and attitudes toward students who are classified as mental health support needs students in middle and high schools. Methods: Qualitative research was conducted through in-depth interviews and observations of 17 teachers and 2 consultants from 2 middle and high schools in Green City, which were evaluated as successful among the six pilot project schools designated by the Ministry of Education in 2013. The study's analysis is based on Hatch's hermeneutical method. Common categories were developed from the interviews and observations. Then, inferences were made per category and given importance to draw conclusions and lessons. Results: Teachers had a strong stigma in their perceptions of and attitudes to special needs students. Their perception was that those students are bound to go wrong due to family problems, even some having difficulty breathing, and that it's beyond their limit to help them. In addition, their attitudes included stereotypes, favoritism, punishment, and referral to experts. As a result, teachers did not expect those students would be cured or change and showed passive attitudes while shifting the responsibility to families and experts. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it showed the limitations of the role of teachers regarding mental health support needs students from the perspective of the teachers themselves. Today, when students' mental health problems are emerging as a serious issue, it is necessary to provide support to improve teacher's awareness and capabilities regarding adolescent mental health problems. In addition, we suggest the current selective policy that sorts out special needs students and provides care for them to evolve into a universal policy that improves public awareness and focus on prevention.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between psychosocial factors and the mask-wearing behavior after deregulation of COVID-19 quarantine guidelines among adults in Korea. Methods : We collected data (345 subjects) from online questionnaire survey. The questionnaire included the Korean version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Korean version of fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Korean version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-15, Korean versions of the Perceived Stress Scale, and measurement tools adapted from previous studies for COVID-19 risk perception, social stigma, and appearance interest of subjects. We analysed data using SPSS version 23.0 for descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis. Results : People with cohabitant or mask-wearing tendency before COVID-19 pandemic had a higher rate of mask-wearing than those who were not. Subjects reporting higher level of social stigma (OR=1.154, 95% CI 1.049-1.270) and COVID-19 anxiety (OR=1.072, 95% CI 1.007-1.141) were more likely to report maskwearing behavior. Conclusion : From the results, appropriate intervention to those who fear social stigma and are anxious to the infectious diseases will be needed. Additionally, providing policies and guidelines that consider cohabitants and offering continuous education with information of disease to the public are also expected to helpful for recovery of daily life from infectious diseases.
