“…For example, one study found that being in quarantine is positively related to perceived stigma among physicians in Bangladesh 83 . However, another study found that a history of quarantine is not related to doctors' perceived stigma 85 .…”

“…It is noteworthy that though some scholars suggest that female HCWs may be more vulnerable to stressful environments and more prone to feeling stigmatized 82 , other studies found a null association between gender and perceived stigma 80,81,83,84,85 .…”

“…Demographics. HCWs' demographics 80,81,82,83,84,85 have been investigated in the literature. The main logic is that HCWs' demographics that reflect higher health risks (e.g., staying at the hospital) are associated with increased perceived stigma.…”

“…Coping. HCWs' use of coping strategies (e.g., precautionary measures 80 , and quarantine 83,85 ) influence perceived stigma for two reasons: (1) HCWs who take sufficient precautionary measures may feel safer and less concerned about potential stigma from patients, leading to decreased perceived stigma, and (2) HCWs who are quarantined may perceive themselves as being at high risk of transmitting the disease, resulting in more perceived stigma.…”

COVID-19, as a crucial public health crisis, has affected our lives in nearly every aspect. Besides its major health threats, COVID-19 brings severe secondary impacts, one of which is the rise of social stigma. Although numerous studies have examined the antecedents and outcomes of COVID-19-related stigma, we still lack a systematic understanding of who is being stigmatized during the COVID-19 pandemic, what exacerbates COVID-19-related stigma, and what impacts COVID-19-related stigma has on victims. Therefore, this review aims to provide a systematic overview of COVID-19-related stigma. With 96 papers conducted with 134,142 individuals in more than 150 countries and territories spanning five continents, we identify three targets that have received the most research: Chinese/Asian people, (suspected) patients and survivors, and healthcare workers. Furthermore, we find that for each stigma target, characteristics of the stigmatized, stigmatizer, and context contribute to COVID-19-related stigma and that this stigma negatively influences victims’ health and non-health outcomes. We call for future research to provide a more integrative, balanced, and rigorous picture of COVID-19-related stigma via conducting research on neglected topics and stigma interventions and using a longitudinal design. In practice, we urge governments and institutions to pay close attention to stigma issues and to promote safe and inclusive societies.

Therefore, this review aims to provide a systematic overview of COVID-19-related stigma. With 93 papers conducted with 126,371 individuals in more than 150 countries and territories spanning five continents, we identify three targets that have received the most research: Chinese/Asian people, (suspected) patients and survivors, and healthcare workers. Furthermore, we find that for each stigma target, characteristics of the stigmatized, stigmatizer, and context contribute to COVID-19-related stigma and that this stigma negatively influences victims' health and non-health outcomes. We call for future research to provide a more integrative, balanced, and rigorous picture of COVID-19-related stigma via conducting research on neglected topics (e.g., contextual factors that contribute to stigma toward HCWs) and stigma interventions and using a longitudinal design. In practice, we urge governments and institutions (e.g., ministries of public health, hospitals) to pay close attention to stigma issues and to promote safe and inclusive societies.
