Article Synopsis
- This study conducted a meta-analysis to assess the levels of internalised stigma in individuals with psychosis globally and how factors like cultural differences, economic status, and illness duration influence these levels.
- It reviewed 73 articles, finding a mild level of internalised stigma (2.20) and stigma resistance (2.44), with high collectivism cultures showing a significant association with increased internalised stigma, while economic status showed no significant impact.
- The research suggests that since internalised stigma is common worldwide, interventions to reduce it should target both broader cultural factors and individual characteristics that contribute to stigma.
