There are numerous studies on the stigma of mental illness. However, the subjective stigma experiences of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and their relatives have, so far not been investigated.
Narrative interviews with 22 family members of patients with OCD were carried out as part of a study on the burden of mental illness on the family. Experience of stigma was analysed as an aspect of subjective burden using a grounded theory approach.
Different areas of life could be described, in which stigmatization is anticipated or experienced by family members of patients with OCD. Concealing is a relevant strategy for the members in dealing with the illness.
Stigmatization can be minimized by impartially handling the illness and cooperation of patients, their relevant others and professionals.
关于精神疾病的污名化已有大量研究。然而,强迫症患者及其亲属的主观污名化经历迄今尚未得到调查。
作为一项关于精神疾病对家庭负担的研究的一部分,对22名强迫症患者的家庭成员进行了叙事访谈。采用扎根理论方法,将污名化经历作为主观负担的一个方面进行分析。
可以描述生活的不同领域,强迫症患者的家庭成员在这些领域中预期或经历污名化。隐瞒是家庭成员应对疾病的一种相关策略。
通过公正地处理疾病以及患者、其相关他人和专业人员的合作,可以将污名化降至最低。
