Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the mediating effects of internalized stigma on the relationship between hospitalization stress and quality of life among patients with mental illness in closed wards. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. The participants were 141 hospitalized patients with mental illness in the closed wards of K university hospital and Y psychiatric hospital in Korea. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires including hospitalization stress, internalized stigma and quality of life. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs and the mediating effects were examined by the method suggested by Baron and Kenny. Results: There was a significant correlation between hospitalization stress, internalized stigma and quality of life of psychiatric patients. In addition, internalized stigma was found to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between hospitalization stress and quality of life. Conclusion: The results suggest that the internalized stigma plays an important role in improving the quality of life of the people with mental illness in a closed unit. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a program focusing on internalized stigma for improving the quality of life in hospitalized patients in a closed unit.
