Purpose: Perceived stigma may disrupt the ability of people with physical disability to successfully adapt to their situation. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between perceived stigma and self-esteem among adults with physically disabled. Method: The sample was drawn from August to October of 2006 at the rehabilitation centers and public health centers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, Korea. The data were collected from 314 persons with physical difficulty. Self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Perceived stigma was measured using the Perceived Stigma Scale for the person with physical disability developed by Lee. Result: There were significant differences of perceived stigma of the person with physical disability according to marital status and economic status. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between perceived stigma and self-esteem of the person with physical disability. Conclusion: The Findings of this study suggest that using nursing intervention to decrease the perceived stigma may promote self-esteem among persons with physical disability.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore self-reported perceived stigma, self-efficacy, and quality of life among psychiatric outpatients Methods: In the present study, researchers analyzed the survey responses of 195 patients recruited in the S hospital psychiatry outpatient clinic. The measurement tools used in this study were the "Devaluation & Discrimination" scale to determine perceptions of stigmatization, general and social efficacy scales to measure self-efficacy, and the "General Well-Being Index" to measure quality of life in psychiatric outpatient. Statistical analysis included means with standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficients to identify relationships between the variables. Results: There was a significant difference in self-perceived stigma and quality of life in psychiatric outpatients (r=-.233, p=.001) and a negative correlation between self-efficacy and quality of life (r=-.424, p=.000). Correlation analysis results support the hypothesis that higher self-perceived stigma scores were related to reduced quality of life among patients with schizophrenia (r=-.231, p=.021), while there was a positive correlation between self-perceived stigma scores and self-efficacy scores among patients with bipolar disorder (r=.362, p=.013). Conclusion: The findings suggest that nursing imtervention strategies should include education programs to reduce stigmatization and enhance self-efficacy and quality of life among patients with chronic psychiatric illnesses.

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.

본 연구는 낙인에 대한 출소자의 인식이 대인관계에서 신뢰에 영향을 줄 것이라고 가정하였다. 선행연구들은 일반인들이 출소자를 기피하고 차별하는 의식들의 근저에는 낙인이 있다고 하였다. 이는 결국 출소자들의 재범에도 영향을 준다고 하였으나, 낙인에 대한 출소자 스스로의 인식에 관한 연구는 국내외적으로 거의 없는 편이다. 낙인은 다양하게 설명될 수 있지만, 본 연구에서는 낙인의 하위척도를 대중낙인, 개인낙인, 그리고 자기낙인으로 구분한 Phillips(2016)의 견해에 기초하였다. 그는 출소자들이 자기 낙인보다는 대중낙인을 더 크게 인식한다는 것을 주장하였다. 이러한 결과는 본 연구와도 일치한다. 그런데 출소자들이 자기낙인보다 대중낙인을 더 크게 인식하면서도, 대인관계에서 상대에 대한 신뢰에 있어서는 대중낙인보다 자기낙인의 영향을 더 받는다는 것에 주목할 필요가 있다. 이는 출소자들이 외면적인 사회적 인식보다는 내면적인 심리적 인식에 더 민감하다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 출소자의 내면적 자기낙인을 극복하기 위한 프로그램의 개발과 개입이 요구된다. 본 연구결과, 첫째 낙인은 대인관계에서 신뢰에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났는데, 특히 자기낙인이 대부분의 대인관계에서 신뢰에 영향을 주었다. 따라서 자기낙인이 심할수록 대부분의 대인관계에서 신뢰가 감소한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 둘째 구체적으로 가족관계 중에서는 자녀, 사회관계 중에서는 직장동료, 그리고 일반관계 중에서는 자신과의 신뢰에 낙인이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 낙인이 출소자들의 삶에 있어서 중요한 타자들과의 관계에 큰 영향을 주는 요인이라는 점을 확인해준다. 셋째 출소자들은 자기낙인을 극복하기 위한 노력들이 필요한데, 자기낙인은 자아정체성을 부정적으로 재정립하여 스스로를 일탈자로 인식하고 불량한 생활양식을 보이며, 경력범죄자로 발전해가는 것을 의미하는 바, 자아정체성을 긍정적으로 인식할 수 있는 프로그램의 개발과 개입이 요청된다. 넷째 본 연구는 남성범죄자를 대상으로 하였으나, 성별에 따라 낙인을 인식하는 것에 차이가 있을 것으로 보이고, 또한 낙인은 대인관계 뿐만 아니라 결국 사회 내 재통합과 재범에도 영향을 줄 것으로 보이는 바, 이를 추후 연구과제로 제시한다.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the effect of self-esteem on perceived stigma in high school students toward people with disabilities. Methods: The participants in this study were 140 high school students from Gyeonggi Province. Data were collected during May 2013. Structured questionnaires were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive by statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and simple regression analysis with the SPSS 19.0 program. Results: The major findings of this study are as follows: There was a significant relationship between stigma toward people with disabilities and self-esteem among the high school students (r=-.205, p=.015). There was also a significant relationship between relationships with friends (r=.291, p<.001), health statement (r=.400, p<.001) and self-esteem among the high school students. Self-esteem explained 3.5% of the variance in high school students' stigma toward people with disabilities (F=6.041, p=.015). Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest a need to develop education to increase self-esteem as a strategy to decrease high school students' stigma toward people with disabilities. Also, findings of this study suggest the need for repeated study on the relationship between self-esteem and stigma toward people with disabilities among adults.

Purpose: This descriptive study investigated the effects of self-efficacy and self-stigma on self-care in people with diabetes. Methods: The study included a total of 377 patients with diabetes enrolled in university hospitals in D city and public health centers in S city. Data were collected from 1 July to 31 August, 2017, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Diabetes self-care was positively correlated with diabetes self-efficacy, whereas it was negatively correlated with diabetes self-stigma. Participants' education level, marital status, perceived health status, type of medication, self-efficacy, and self-stigma explained 42.4% of the variance in diabetes self-care. Conclusion: The findings indicate that diabetes self-efficacy and self-stigma are important factors for improving self-care in patients with diabetes. Therefore, systematic programs for enhancing self-efficacy and reducing self-stigma of these individuals should be developed.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB)-related stigma has been well-documented. Since the emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), different organizations have been alerted to the fact that stigma could arise again. Due to stigma's negative effects, this qualitative study aimed to explore the stigma felt by patients by evaluating the following: COVID-19 stigma and its temporal progression through the pandemic; stigma perceived by different patients with TB before and during COVID-19 pandemic; and difference perceived by individuals who contracted both diseases. Methods: A semi-structured interview was developed according to the available literature on the theme. It was performed individually in 2022 upon receiving signed informed consent. Participants were recruited with a purposive sampling approach by searching medical records. Those who currently or previously had pulmonary TB and/or COVID-19 were included. Data were subjected to thematic analysis. Results: Nine patients were interviewed, including six (66.7%) females. The median age of patients was 51±14.7 years. Four participants (44.4%) had completed high school and four (44.4%) were never smokers. Three had both TB and COVID-19. Four only had TB and two only had COVID-19. Interviews identified eight main themes: knowledge and beliefs, with several misconceptions identified; attitudes towards the disease, varying from social support to exclusion; knowledge and education, assumed as of extreme importance; internalized stigma, with self-rejection; experienced stigma, with discrimination episodes; anticipated stigma, modifying actions for avoiding stigma; perceived stigma, with judgment by others prevailed; and temporal evolution of stigma. Conclusion: Individuals expressed strong stigma for both diseases. De-stigmatization of respiratory infectious diseases is crucial for limiting stigma's negative impact.

Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive study was to identify factors influencing pulmonary tuberculosis patients' self-care behaviors. Methods: The patients were 125 adults over the age of 19 who were diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, receiving care at the National tuberculosis hospital. The survey questions measured family support, multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS), stigma and self-care behaviors. Results: The average score for self-care behaviors was 3.91, ranging from 2.22 to 5.00. There was a significant positive correlation between self-care behaviors and support system. There was a significant negative correlation between self-care behaviors and stigma. The significant variables influencing self-care behaviors were family support (β = .33, P< .001), smoking (β= -.23, p= .002), age (β= .22, p= .005) and experience of stopping treatment (β= -.17, p= .040). These factors explain 36% of pulmonary tuberculosis patients' self-care behaviors. Conclusion: Family support is very important to improve selfcare for tuberculosis patients. However, those in their fifties, men, and those who do not have a job and have underlying diseases have low family support, so they need active support at the national level. The study results suggest that a educational and nursing programs must be designed to reduce stigma and promote support system in order to enhance self-care behaviors.
