- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Discrimination, stigma, and AIDS: a review of academic literature produced in Brazil (2005-2010)(Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública Sergio Arouca, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, 2012-01-01) Monteiro, Simone; Villela, Wilza Vieira [UNIFESP]; Knauth, Daniela; Fundação Oswaldo Cruz Instituto Oswaldo Cruz; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Faculdade de MedicinaGiven the implications of stigma for HIV/AIDS prevention and control of the epidemic, as emphasized by UNAIDS, this study analyzes the Brazilian academic production on health, AIDS, stigma, and discrimination, available in the SciELO database from 2005 to 2010. Brazilian research on the theme is modest as compared to the international literature, but the studies follow the same trend of focusing on individual experiences of discrimination as opposed to analysis of stigma and discrimination as social processes associated with power relations and domination (macro-social structures) and the characteristics of individuals and social groups that shape social interactions. The current study seeks to analyze the reasons for the scarcity of studies on the social perspective towards stigma and discrimination in the field of public health and the implications for the development of proposals to deal with HIV/AIDS-related discrimination.

- ItemSomente MetadadadosPercepção Dos Indivíduos Com Transtornos Mentais Sobre O Estigma Social Que Recebem(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2017-04-27) Franco, Talita Cristina Marques [UNIFESP]; Marcolan, Joao Fernando [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Prejudice and stigma directed to individuals with mental disorders bring serious harm and damage to their lives, for this as a general objective, this research analyzed the perception of these individuals on the prejudice and stigma that victimize them. As specific objectives were analyzed the factors that lead society to such practices, even in the face of many advances in concepts and was identified the psychic suffering generated by prejudice and stigma, as well as the way these individuals faced the situation. This research was carried out in Álvares Machado, São Paulo State, in the only Basic Health Unit to perform psychiatric care. Twenty-one participants were interviewed, nineteen women and two men, who were between the ages of eighteen and seventy years old, all in treatment processes. The research used the qualitative approach and a semi-structured questionnaire was used, with guiding questions to evaluate the participants' perception. Data analysis was performed based on the Bardin content analysis method. The research was authorized by the Health department of Álvares Machado, São Paulo State and by the Standing Committee on Research Ethics involving Human Subjects (CEP). It was verified that lack of knowledge about the mental disorder is the main cause for the prejudice, coming from the social, professional, religious, family and even the professionals responsible for the treatment, a fact that damages the process of the psychopathological situation, causing these Individuals feel inferior, incapable and ashamed of themselves, culminating all this with exclusion. The data also point to the suffering of the family, due to the lack of material resources or preparation to live with the family member with mental disorder, but on the other hand, showed that the family support to some of the individuals was not lacking. All the participants faced the situation in the hope of alleviating suffering; sometimes this confrontation was due to the isolation, crafts, walks and attendance in religious settings. The suffering caused by family, social, religious, scholastic, professional and in the treatment environment associated to problems caused by hospitalizations and social exclusion interfered in the treatment and aggravated the psychopathological situation. Society, in its prejudiced way, isolates individuals with mental disorders, preventing them from exercising their basic rights as citizens, and has the view that they are antisocial, violent and dangerous, as seen centuries ago. The changes arising from the Psychiatric Reform in Brazil have not yet had the desired effects, specifically regarding the change of mentalities about madness and insanity in the social context. Research has proven that prejudice and stigma-targeting individuals with mental disorders is a reality and cause more suffering to these individuals.
