Abstract

U ovom je radu prikazana problematika stigmatizacije osoba s duševnim smetnjama, uzroci i posljedice koje ostavlja na oboljele osobe, te načine borbe za uklanjanje iste. U prvom dijelu rada obrađene su pojave stigmatizacije i autostigmatizacije, te mitovi i zablude koje se nalaze u njihovoj podlozi. Život sa stigmom duševnog oboljenja prikazan je kroz dva istraživanja temeljena na iskustvima oboljelih osoba, te kroz analizu stigmatizacije obitelji osoba s duševnim smetnjama. Središnji dio rada bavi se utjecajem medija i ulogom profesionalnih djelatnika u stvaranju stigme prema oboljelim osobama. Zdravstveni djelatnici i socijalni radnici imaju važnu ulogu u borbi protiv stigme, no podaci istraživanja ukazuju na prisutnost diskriminacije i predrasuda i u zdravstvenom sustavu. U završnom dijelu rada prikazani su načini borbe protiv stigmatizacije i autostigmatizacije. U borbi protiv stigme koriste se programi destigmatizacije usmjereni prema stigmatiziranim pojedincima i oni usmjereni prema društvu. Za programe na razini društva Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija izdala je preporuke, također navedene u radu. Kao metode uklanjanja stigme i diskriminacije navode se edukacija, prosvjed, izravni kontakt s predstavnicima stigmatizirane skupine, zakonodavna reforma i javno zagovaranje prava osoba s duševnim smetnjama, dok se za prevenciju i redukciju autostigmatizacije najučinkovitijim pokazalo osnaživanje i psihoedukacija.

Abstract (english)

This final thesis represents the issue of stigmatisation of people with mental disorders, the causes and consequences that they have on patients and also ways to eliminate those diseases. The first part of this thesis handles the occurrences of stigmatisation and auto stigmatisation, as well as the myths and misconceptions that are associated with it. Living life with the stigma of having a mental illness is presented through two studies based on patient experiences and through an analysis of the stigmatisation of the families of people with the mental disorders. The central part of this thesis deals with the influence of media as well as the role of professionals in creating a stigma towards people with mental disorders. The healthcare professionals and the socijal workers have an important role in combatting stigma, however the survey data indicates there is also a presence of discrimination and prejudice within the healthcare system. The final part of this thesis presents methods of battling stigmatisation and auto stigmatisation. Programs of destigmatisation are focused on stigmatized individuals as well as methods directed towards the public. The methods of removing stigma and discrimination are stated to be: education, direct contact with representatives of the stigmatized group, legislative reform and advocacy. While empowerment and psycho education have proven to be the most effective for the prevention and reduction of auto stigmatisation.
