Adaptação transcultural da The Stigma Scale para o português brasileiro: estudo piloto / Transcultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the Stigma Scale: a pilot study / Adaptación transcultural de la Escala de Estigma para el portugués brasileño: estudio piloto

O estigma da doença mental (EDM) é apontado como um agravante dos quadros de transtorno mental, sendo recomendada pelo ministério da saúde a realização de pesquisas que auxiliem na identificação e intervenção a esse fenômeno. Este estudo teve como objetivo realizar a adaptação transcultural da The Stigma Scale, para o português brasileiro e verificar seus parâmetros psicométricos preliminares. O método deste estudo foi estruturado em cinco etapas: 1) obtenção da permissão para adaptação; 2) tradução do instrumento; 3) síntese e avaliação por especialistas; 4) retrotradução e avaliação por especialistas; 5) estudo piloto. A versão brasileira da The Stigma Scale foi aplicada em 23 pacientes psiquiátricos. O instrumento apresentou boas evidências de validade de conteúdo (k = 0,81) e consistência interna (α = 0,87). Os participantes do estudo piloto não reportaram dificuldades relacionadas à compreensão dos itens. Os autores originais da The Stigma Scale aprovaram a versão brasileira do instrumento. (AU)

Mental illness stigma (MIS) has been indicated to be an aggravating factor for mental disorders, therefore, the national department of health recommends the performance of research that seeks to assist in the identification of this condition and suggest intervention strategies. This study aimed to perform the transcultural adaption to Brazilian Portuguese of the Stigma Scale and to verify its preliminary psychometric parameters. The methodology used was structured in five steps: 1) obtaining permission to adapt; 2) translation of the instrument; 3) synthesis and evaluation by specialists; 4) back-translation and specialist evaluation; and 5) a pilot study. The Brazilian version of The Stigma Scale presented good content validity (k=0.81) and internal consistency (α=0.87). The pilot study sample did not report difficulties related to the understanding of the items. The original authors of the Stigma Scale approved the Brazilian version of the instrument. (AU)

Intervention study on the stigma of mental illness in college students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective@#To investigate the automatic implicit attitude and explicit stigma of mental illness, and the intervention effectiveness on the stigma of mental illness in college students.@*Methods@#Single category implicit association test(SC-IAT) and questionnaire survey were used to study the degree of implicit and explicit mental illness stigma among 30 college students of Peking University, and investigated the effect of two strategies, education and contact.Data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 with t-test and variance analysis.@*Results@#The D values of SC-IAT in the three dimensions of cognitive evaluation, emotional response and behavioral tendency of college students were 0.29±0.37, 0.24±0.43, and 0.10±0.43.There was a statistically significant difference between the cognitive evaluation dimension, the emotional response dimension and 0(t=4.069, P<0.01; t=2.925, P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the implicit stigma and the 0 in the behavioral tendency dimension(t=1.423, P=0.167). In the explicit stigma, the mercy dimension score(1.94±0.61) was lower than the median, and the difference was statistically significant(t=-12.286, P<0.01), while the scores of anger dimension(4.62±0.44) and fear dimension (4.55±0.31) were higher than the median(t=13.243, 3.200, both P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the values of implicit and external stigma among pre-intervention, education intervention and after contact(P>0.05). The correct rates of questions "Which of the following situations do you think are considered mentally unhealthy? " and "Which of the following disorders are mental illnesses" (42±13)%, (54±13)%) increased after receiving educational intervention ((49±12)%, (64±13)%), the difference was statistically significant (F=3.682, P<0.05; F=3.576, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#College students have implicit mental illness stigma, educational and contact intervention strategies can help improve college students' understanding of relevant knowledge, and cannot improve the level of implicit stigma of college students on mental illness.
