Research suggests that stigma plays a major role in discouraging clients from participating in mental health treatment. Because social workers provide a significant amount of such services, this study investigates social work student stigma as a function of their willingness to treat clients with alcohol dependence, nicotine dependence, depression, and Alzheimer's disease. Students' held higher levels of stigma toward nicotine dependent clients and less toward those with depression. Personal histories of depression and student age - but not smoking or alcohol use - were predictive of higher stigma levels towards nicotine dependent clients. Implications for social work are discussed.
研究表明，污名化在阻碍来访者参与心理健康治疗方面起着重要作用。由于社会工作者提供大量此类服务，本研究调查了社会工作专业学生的污名化情况，将其作为他们治疗酒精依赖、尼古丁依赖、抑郁症和阿尔茨海默病患者意愿的一个函数。学生对尼古丁依赖患者的污名化程度更高，对抑郁症患者的污名化程度较低。个人抑郁史和学生年龄——而非吸烟或饮酒情况——可预测对尼古丁依赖患者更高的污名化水平。本文讨论了对社会工作的启示。
