Abstract [en]

Background: Research shows that stigmatizing attitudes towards persons with mental illness are sometimes harbored by the public and by health care personnel, and that this can sometimes lead to persons with mental illness being treated by others in stigmatizing ways. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of persons with mental illness of stigmatization. Method: A literature review of descriptive design. The result is based on 12 scientific articles with qualitative approaches. Main Result: Persons with mental illness often experience stigmatizing attitudes in relation to health care personnel. Persons with mental illnesses often experience that mental illnesses are not considered to be as serious as somatic illnesses. Persons with mental illness make use of various strategies in order to handle stigmatization. Conclusion: Because of the stigmatization they experience and the strategies they employ to handle stigmatization, persons with mental illness risk being alienated from society. The relations between persons’ with mental illness and health care organizations risk being damaged through the stigmatizing attitudes they experience in relations with health care organizations. The experiences of persons with mental illnesses of health care personnels’ attitudes towards them could be improved by nurses treating them in a professional and emphatic manner.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Forskning visar att allmänheten och sjukvårdspersonal kan hysa stigmatiserande attityder gentemot personer med psykisk ohälsa och att detta kan leda till att personer med psykisk ohälsa bemöts på stigmatiserande vis. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva personer med psykisk ohälsas erfarenheter av stigmatisering. Metod: En litteraturstudie av deskriptiv design. Resultatet baseras på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats. Artiklarna söktes i databasen Pubmed. Huvudresultat: Personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta att de i möten med sjukvården bemöts på stigmatiserande vis. Personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever att psykisk ohälsa ej tas på lika stort allvar som somatisk ohälsa. Olika strategier används av personer med psykisk ohälsa för att hantera stigmatisering. Slutsats: Personer med psykisk ohälsa riskerar att hamna i ett utanförskap på grund av den stigmatisering de upplever och strategierna de använder för att hantera stigmatisering. Det stigmatiserande bemötande personerna kan uppleva i kontakterna med sjukvården riskerar att skada relationen mellan dem själva och sjukvården. Personers med psykisk ohälsas upplevelse av bemötande inom sjukvården skulle kunna förbättras genom att sjuksköterskan behandlar dem på ett professionellt och empatiskt sätt.
