  • The purpose of this study is to find out how local residents using social welfare services in permanent rental apartment areas experience stigma, and how they perceive it. Data collection was carried out for 10 months from May 2012 to February 2013. Interviews were conducted with 13 users who are using or have the experience of using services in social welfare centers, and 12 hands-on workers of the institutions; the results were then analyzed using the modified grounded theory. The results of analysis are as follows. First, a considerable number of people living in permanent rental apartment areas experience stigma while experiencing impoverishment; and they also feel stigma in the formularization process to become recipients. Second, users experience stigma in the process of using social welfare center services located in permanent rental apartment areas after becoming recipients as well. Third, in cases where permanent rental apartment areas are located in the immediate neighborhood of general residence areas, residents living inside and outside the areas were found to give stigma to the residents of permanent rental apartment areas. This study has significance in that it provides an in-depth clarification of the reality of stigma experienced by users of social welfare center services in permanent rental apartment areas through qualitative research

  • This study aimed to examine the predictors of mental health confidence(MHC) among individuals in psychiatric long-term care facilities(PLCF). It further examined whether the predictors and underlying mechanisms differed by the length of hospitalization. Sample consisted of 1,742 individuals residing in PLCF who participated in the Survey on PLCF. Structural equational modeling was used to examine the predictors of MHC. Multi-group Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) was used to examine whether the predictors and mechanisms differed by the length of hospitalization between those of 10 years or less (n=962) and 10 years and more (n=780). Major findings were as follows. (1) Education, duration of mental illness, and psychiatric symptoms were significantly related to MHC. (2) Duration of mental illness presented significant indirect effects on MHC via its effects on perceived stigma. (3) The predictors and underlying mechanisms differed by the length of hospitalization. Based on the findings, implications and limitations of the research were discussed.
