The consequences of stigma are preventable. We argue that individual attention should be provided to patients when dealing with stigma. Also, in order to deal with the impact of stigma on an individual basis, it needs to be assessed during routine clinical examinations, quantified and followed up to observe whether or not treatment can reduce its impact. A patient-centric anti-stigma programme that delivers the above is urgently needed. To this end, this review explores the experiences, treatment barriers and consequences due to stigma. We also offer putative solutions to this problem.
耻辱感的后果是可以预防的。我们认为,在应对耻辱感时,应给予患者个人关注。此外,为了在个体层面应对耻辱感的影响,需要在常规临床检查期间对其进行评估、量化并跟踪,以观察治疗是否能够减轻其影响。迫切需要一个以患者为中心、能够实现上述目标的反耻辱计划。为此,本综述探讨了因耻辱感而产生的经历、治疗障碍和后果。我们还针对这一问题提供了假定的解决方案。
