Facing frequent stigma and discrimination, many people with mental illness have to choose between secrecy and disclosure in different settings. Coming Out Proud (COP), a 3-week peer-led group intervention, offers support in this domain in order to reduce stigma's negative impact.
To examine COP's efficacy to reduce negative stigma-related outcomes and to promote adaptive coping styles (Current Controlled Trials number: ISRCTN43516734).
In a pilot randomised controlled trial, 100 participants with mental illness were assigned to COP or a treatment-as-usual control condition. Outcomes included self-stigma, empowerment, stigma stress, secrecy and perceived benefits of disclosure.
Intention-to-treat analyses found no effect of COP on self-stigma or empowerment, but positive effects on stigma stress, disclosure-related distress, secrecy and perceived benefits of disclosure. Some effects diminished during the 3-week follow-up period.
Coming Out Proud has immediate positive effects on disclosure- and stigma stress-related variables and may thus alleviate stigma's negative impact.
面对频繁的污名化和歧视，许多患有精神疾病的人不得不在不同场合下在保密和公开之间做出选择。“自豪地公开”（COP）是一项为期3周的由同伴主导的团体干预项目，在这方面提供支持，以减少污名化的负面影响。
检验COP在减少与污名相关的负面结果以及促进适应性应对方式方面的效果（当前对照试验编号：ISRCTN43516734）。
在一项试点随机对照试验中，100名患有精神疾病的参与者被分配到COP组或常规治疗对照组。结果包括自我污名化、赋权、污名压力、保密情况以及公开的感知益处。
意向性分析发现，COP对自我污名化或赋权没有影响，但对污名压力、与公开相关的痛苦、保密情况以及公开的感知益处有积极影响。在3周的随访期内，一些影响有所减弱。
“自豪地公开”对与公开和污名压力相关的变量有即时积极影响，因此可能减轻污名化的负面影响。
