Summary of presentation 演讲简介

Stigma and discrimination against people with mental illness are common and severe wherever they have been studied (1-3). One surprising aspectof this is that many consumers report that they feel discriminated against by health and social care staff, even though these are precisely the staff who are trained and experienced in offer assistance to people with mental illnesses.Furthermore, the ‘contact’ hypothesis suggests that those with more contact with people with a diagnosis of mental illness will have more favourable andless stigmatising views. This illustrated presentation will review evidence about discrimination and evidence of what is effective (at the local andnational levels) to reduce stigma and discrimination and to promote socialinclusion (5-8;8-10)(1).

各地研究均显示，精神疾病患者所遭受的病耻感和歧视是常见并且严重的(1-3)。这些研究中一个令人惊讶的发现是，许多患者反映他们受到卫生和社会关怀工作人员的歧视，哪怕这些工作人员的工作是为精神疾病患者提供服务，并为此接受过专门的培训。而“社会交往”假说则认为与诊断为精神疾病的患者有更多接触的人会有更有利和较少病耻感的看法。本次演讲将回顾有关歧视的证据，并回顾（在地方和国家水平）能有效减少病耻感和歧视的证据以促进社会包容(5-8;8-10)(1)。
