Aims. In order to analyze the concept of stigma, so to develop a valid instrument to measure stigma. Methods. First, a concept analysis was conducted with the aim of clarifying the state of the science of discipline-specific conceptualizations of stigma. The criterion-based method of concept analysis as described by Morse and colleagues was used (Morse et al., 1996; Morse, 2000). This analytic process enabled the assessment of the scientific maturity of the concept of stigma. The interdisciplinary concept of stigma was found to be immature. Based on this level of maturity it was determined that in order to advance the concept of stigma toward gloater maturity. techniques of concept development using the literature as data were applied. In this process, questions were 'asked of the data' (in this case, the selected disciplinary literatures) to identify the conceptual components of stigma. Results. The inquiry into the concept of stigma led to the development of an expanded interdisciplinary conceptual definition by merging the most coherent commonalties from each discipline. And the conceptual components of stigma were identified. The antecedent factors of stigma were "apart from social identity". The attributes of stigma were "devaluing, labeling, negative stereotypes, discrimination". The consequences of stigma were "social rejection, social isolation, deficiency of social support, low social status".

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: 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 purposes were to explore and compare the level of perceived stigma toward physically disabled, and to find factors related with the perceived stigma. Method: Data were collected by structured questionnaire from July to September 2007. The participants consisted of 292 physically disabled and 294 non-disabled living in Daejeon, Korea. These data were analyzed using SPSS Win 12.0 by descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test, t-test, one-way ANOVA. Result: The perceived stigma towards physically disabled of the physically disabled was higher than non-disabled's. The physically disabled stigmatized themselves in all the subcategories of the perceived stigma. The physically disabled perceived the stigma differently according to the spouses, economic status, educational level, comorbidity and impairment sites. The non-disabled's perceived stigma was different according to gender, existence of spouses, job and economic status. Non-disabled's stigma towards physically disabled was not different by experiences related with physically disabled. Conclusion: For reducing the perceived stigma, nursing intervention strategies should be developed, especially for physically disabled, and further studies should be conducted to define related factors. The results of this study might be a standard to evaluate effects of nursing interventions for decreasing the stigma.

The purpose of this research was to identify the effect of human potential seminars on the perceived stigma of adults with epilepsy. The research employed a quasi experimental design and unequivalent control group pre-post design. The test was conducted on 15 adults with epilepsy attending one psychiartric out-patient clinic in Masan City, Korea. The stigma questionnaire was used as a pre-test to these patients. HPS was done ten times for five weeks from May 6, to July 26, 1996. The stigma questionnaire was again given, but this time as a post test. The control group of 14 adults with epilepsy were receiving medication at the same clinic. The human potential seminars were structured by McHolland(1972) and translated by Lee, Hae Seung(1990). The stigma research tool was modified and revised to be appropriate to Korean culture. It consisted of 15 sentences. The internal consistency was 0.92 with Cronbach's α. Research results are as follows. 1) To determine the homogenity of the experimental and control groups, the pre-stigma results were used and democratic-sociologic characteristics, job characteristics and disease related variables were compared. There was no significant difference between the two groups. 2) To identify the relationship between stigma and patient characteristics a pre-test was done. The study used both Mann-Whitney U-test and ANOVA test for statistical analysis. The variables related to stigma were the reason of unemployment and age at onset of epilepsy. 3) The test results of the effect of the human potential seminars on stigma in the patients with epilepsy, showed that stigma in the experimental group was lower than in the control group. The statistical method used to determine the difference between pre and post stigma results was the Wilcoxon signed rank test. The test results were statistically significant at the one percent level. 4) As a follow-up evaluation ten more patients(66.7% of the total) were additionally tested. In order to investigate if the stigmas were different between the pre, post and follow-up, Repeated measure ANOVA was used. The test results showed that the stigma scores were statistically different between the three groups at the one percent level(F=10.06, d.f.=2, p=0.00).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the mediating effect of hope and depression applied on the influence of social stigma on suicidal ideation of 108 HIV infected males. Methods: This study was a descriptive, crosssectional design that used a survey approach. Data collection was one-on-one interviews by a counseling nurse from July 2012 to January 2013. The survey included questions about social stigma, hope, depression, and suicidal ideation. Results: Fitness of the hypothetical model was appropriate ($x^2/df=1.97$, TLI=.97, CFI=.98, RMSEA=.07, SRMR=.04). Social stigma had no direct effect on suicidal ideation but had a significant indirect effect on suicidal ideation via hope and depression. Hope had a mediating effect the relationship between stigma and depression but no direct effect on the relationship between stigma and suicidal ideation. Hope had an indirect effect on suicidal ideation via depression. Stigma and hope accounted for 41% of depression was where as suicidal ideation was explained 56.3% by depression, hope, and stigma. Conclusion: In order to reduce depression and suicidal ideation of HIV infected people, stigma improving strategies are required. And hope intervention for HIV infected people may decrease their suicidal ideation and depression.

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.

본 연구는 낙인이 상담 추구태도에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 상담에 대한 기대의 매개역할을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 327명의 대학생을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며, SPSS 17.0으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 자기낙인과 사회적 낙인이 상담 추구태도에 부정적인 영향을 준다는 것을 확인하였으며, 상담에 대한 기대와 관련하여서는 자기낙인은 상담에 대한 기대와 유의한 부적 상관을 나타낸 반면, 사회적 낙인과 상담에 대한 기대와는 통계적으로 유의한 상관을 보이지 않았다. 또한 자기낙인과 상담추구 태도에 영향을 미치는 과정에 있어 상담에 대한 기대에 의해 부분 매개하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 자기낙인과 상담 추구태도간의 관계를 매개하는 변인에 대한 구체적인 탐색이 이루어졌다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 실제 상담 서비스를 이용하는 상담 추구태도에 영향을 미치는 것은 각 개인이 지닌 심리 정서적 문제의 인식보다는 개인이 경험하는 자기낙인이 더 중요한 요인으로 작용함을 시사한다. 이와 같은 결과를 중심으로 상담 추구태도를 증진시키기 위한 개입방법으로서의 상담에 대한 기대를 높일 수 있는 상담 및 교육 프로그램 개발의 필요성을 제안하였다.

Objectives: Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder, which is characterized by proteinuria, edema (swelling), and hyperlipidemia. Maydis Stigma (Corn silk) has been widely used in Asia as a traditional medicine and is known to have a diuretic effect and is used for the treatment of edema and indigestion. Methods: The aim of this study is to investigate the improvement effect of Maydis Stigma in treating nephrotic syndrome induced by puromycin aminonucleoside. Sprague-Dawley rats were intravenously injected with 75 mg/kg/day puromycin aminonucleoside, then treated with either Losartan or 200 mg/kg/day Maydis Stigma for seven days. Results: Maydis Stigma significantly decreased ascites and proteinuria level. Plasma levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and plasma creatinine reduced significantly by Maydis Stigma. In addition, treatment with Maydis Stigma attenuated histological damage. Treatment with Maydis Stigma also restored podocin expression and reduced inflammation markers such as intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAM-1), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1). Conclusions: Maydis Stigma ameliorates kidney injury in nephrotic syndrome rat models. Maydis Stigma exerts a renoprotective effect owing to its anti-inflammatory effects and reductions of ascites and proteinuria. Thus, these results indicate that Maydis Stigma is likely to be a promising agent in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome.
