Resumo

MALDONADO-CASTILLO, Silvana  e  SANTA-CRUZ-ESPINOZA, Henry. Stigma and mental health in patients with a cancer diagnosis. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2024, vol.23, n.73, pp.114-131.  Epub 23-Fev-2024. ISSN 1695-6141.  https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.563831.

Objective:

To determine the relationship between stigma and mental health in patients diagnosed with cancer.

Material and Methods:

Correlational study with a non-probabilistic sample of 250 patients diagnosed with cancer, between 26 and 72 years of age (85.2% women and 14.8% men). Data collection was carried out in a private health center using the Perceived, Experienced and Internalized Stigma Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4), and a sociodemographic characteristics form. Data analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient, and the magnitude of the effects was analyzed using the Gignac and Szodorai criteria.

Results:

Large effect inverse associations were identified between mental health and perceived stigma (r = -0.362), experienced stigma (r = -0.413) and internalized stigma (r = -0.479).

Conclusions:

The results support that the higher the perceived, experienced, and internalized stigma, the lower the mental health scores of patients with a cancer diagnosis.
