“…This modern logic of ensuring parameters for normality and organizing what is socially acceptable is also observed in the group of mental patients, as reported by Maciel, Pereira, Lima, and Souza (2015). Regarding drug users, in addition to the stigma of being "crazy", "senseless", and "unpredictable", they are also labeled as "junkies", particularly when associated with illicit drugs that are often related to misconduct, failure, and crime (Hartmann, 2013).…”

Abstract:Women drug comsumption is a phenomenom influenced by speeches regarding gender relationships and standardizing social structures. This study aims to analyze the representational dimension of female drug users through the social representation theory; it is a qualitative, descriptive field study with 45 women admitted to therapeutic communities and rehabilitation clinics in the states of Paraíba and Pernambuco, Brazil. This study uses a sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview, which were submitted to qualitative textual analysis using IRAMUTEQ software. The results indicate that the female drug user is represented as someone who presents a threat and lacks self-control; anchored in representational elements concerning the transgression of social norms, she is considered to have set herself apart from the social roles assigned to women. Such images projected in society and shared by the users affect the manner in which they address chemical dependency and have consequences for their inclusion in their families and society, their expression of identity and the manner in which they perform social roles. Keywords: drugs, gender, social representation, women A Mulher no Contexto das Drogas: Representações Sociais de Usuárias em TratamentoResumo: O consumo de drogas por mulheres é um fenômeno influenciado por discursos acerca das relações de gênero e das estruturas sociais normatizadoras. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a dimensão representacional acerca da mulher usuária de drogas a partir da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, de caráter descritivo e de campo, com 45 usuárias em tratamento. Utilizou-se entrevista semiestruturada, submetida à análise textual com uso do software IRAMUTEQ. Os resultados indicaram que a mulher usuária de drogas está representada como alguém que oferece perigo e que não tem o controle de si, ancorada em elementos representacionais objetivados na ruptura de comportamentos pautados nas normas sociais, distanciando-se, assim, dos papéis sociais atribuídos ao feminino. Tais representações postas na sociedade e compartilhadas pelas usuárias têm impacto na forma como elas lidam com a dependência química, repercutindo na inclusão sociofamiliar destas mulheres, na expressão de sua identidade e no exercício de seus papéis sociais.

“…Some types of beliefs about the etiology of mental illness can have a beneficial effect in combating the stigmatization of mental illness. The conception of mental illness, caused by genetic and biological issues as well as psychosocial issues, helps to understand mental illness as pathology similar to any other, reducing the idea of fear, dangerousness and discriminatory attitudes (19) . Thus, attributing mental illness exclusively to the emotional issues of childhood would also have deleterious effects on the care provided.…”

Objective: to investigate the attitudes of professionals of the Network of Psychosocial Attention to mental illness. Methods: cross-sectional and analytical study. Two instruments were used: the characterization questionnaire and the Opinions Scale about Mental Illness, answered by 80 employees of the Psychosocial Attention Network. For counting the obtained points, pre-established formulas were used; and for correlations and associations, non-parametric tests according to the normality of the data. Results: the attitudinal profile denominated Authoritarianism was characterized by a higher average in the population, followed by the Social Restriction and Etiology of Mental Effort profiles. It was also observed that the variables schooling, working time in mental health services and monthly family income showed significant correlations in relation to the types of attitudes. Conclusion: the attitudinal profile of the studied population reflects predominantly authoritarian, restrictive and discriminatory attitudes. Descriptors: Attitude; Workers; Mental Health.Objetivo: investigar as atitudes de profissionais da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial frente ao adoecimento mental. Métodos: estudo transversal e analítico. Utilizaram-se dois instrumentos: o questionário de caracterização e a Escala de Opiniões sobre a Doença Mental, respondidos por 80 trabalhadores da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial. Para contagem dos pontos obtidos, foram utilizadas fórmulas preestabelecidas; e para correlações e associações, testes não paramétricos conforme a normalidade dos dados. Resultados: o perfil atitudinal denominado Autoritarismo destacou-se por apresentar maior média na população, seguido dos perfis Restrição Social e Etiologia do Esforço Mental. Observou-se também que as variáveis escolaridade, tempo de trabalho em serviços de saúde mental e renda familiar mensal apresentaram correlações significativas em relação aos tipos de atitudes. Conclusão: o perfil atitudinal da população estudada reflete atitudes predominantemente autoritárias, restritivas e discriminatórias.

“…The fi nal SSMI version was composed of 10 items, and participants were requested to indicate -on a 7-point semantic diff erential scale -which word better described their perception about the mentally ill. It is known the Psychiatric Reform adopts a nomenclature that refl ects the positions adopted and the ideas defended by the movement; however, in this study, it was decided to use the term "mentally ill" to name the instrument, because this nomenclature is still commonly used by the population to refer to people who exhibit some level of psychic suff ering, in both the national and international context (Maciel et al, 2015;Mfoafo-M'Carthy, & Huls, 2014;Pescosolido, Medina, Martin, & Long, 2013).…”

Developing awareness of stereotypes regarding people with mental disorders has great relevance, as it implies understanding the characteristics of the shared conceptualization society has toward this social group. Such understanding identifi es elements for action aiming to favor the social inclusion of these individuals. This research aimed to develop the Scale of Stereotypes about the Mentally Ill (SSMI) by gathering psychometric data. Two studies were performed. In Study 1, 210 university students with a mean age of 24.07 (SD = 5.77) participated. In Study 2, 206 university students with a mean age of 24.35 (SD = 6.51) were included. In the fi rst study, principal component analysis indicated the existence of two components (Threat Stereotypes, α = 0.81; Disability stereotypes, α = 0.80) with 10 items in total. In the second study, a confi rmatory factor analysis indicated that the two-factor model proposed for the scale was adequate: χ²/df = 2.31, GFI = 0.93, CFI = 0.94, and RMSEA = 0.08 (90% CI = 0.057-0.103). It was concluded that this measure exhibits apparent factor validity and internal consistency and can be used to measure stereotypes about individuals with mental illness adequately.
