“…It is often the result of misinterpreted information, which leads people to negatively perceive those living with mental illness . Such negative perceptions commonly illicit pessimistic expectations and discrimination, and represent a fundamental social injustice (Murman et al, 2014).…”

“…In fact, it is not really enough to raise empathy, change fundamental attitudes, or reduce social distance with people with disabilities. The journal "Let's Erase the Stigma (LETS): Quasi-Experimental Evaluation of Youth School Groups Intended to Reduce Mental Stigma" suggests that discussion-oriented and action-oriented interventions may provide the new value of reducing stigma (Murman et al, 2014). LETS program provides a continuous dialogue in an interactive to discuss issues related to ''difference'' (including mental illness) and effect change strategies, with the overall aim of promoting de-stigmatization.…”

People with Disability are having limited access to participation. The most significant barrier for people with disabilities to participate is stigma. However, there is a limited source of existing intervention to reduce stigma on people with disabilities. Indonesia, home of more than 20 million people with disabilities, is still having no effort in reducing stigma yet. Therefore, it is important to provide Indonesia with insight of interventions to reduce stigma on people with disabilities. The objective of the study was to provide insight of interventions to reduce stigma on people with disabilities around the world through a systematic review. The study employed a systematic review following the methodological framework provided by Prisma multistep using electronic databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest), reference lists, and journals to locate studies. Inclusion criteria were based on title and content through keyword search with stigma, disability, and intervention as its keyword. The study revealed that from 449 articles that are found online, only 17 are eligible with the inclusion criteria. Most of the interventions are targeting to reduce stigma from the general population towards people with disabilities. Mental disability is the most type of disability addressed by the intervention. The study concluded that education intervention has proven to be the most effective and efficient type of intervention in reducing stigma toward people with disabilities. Especially in Indonesia, a fourth most populous country, increasing impact area by targeting the general population can be seen as the most efficient way in reducing stigma.

“…These interventions may involve seminars with factual information and videotaped cases, as such interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in improving attitudes toward ME and CFS (Friedberg et al, 2008). Peer-led approaches may be most successful at combatting stigma, so interventions may emphasize the importance of participant research and bringing in guests with lived experience (Murman et al, 2014). In addition to developing a consensus on the name and research case definition, which would reduce some of the ambiguity that professionals have with ME and CFS (Jason et al, 2018), there is also a need to develop treatment interventions that are not stigmatizing to patients, such as pacing and learning to stay within one’s energy envelope (Jason et al, 2013).…”

Confirmatory factor analysis of a myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome stigma scale

This study adapted a chronic illness stigma scale and explored its psychometric properties. The main purposes were to confirm the factor structure of the instrument with this population and address the previous factor intercorrelation discrepancies. Five hundred and fifty-four individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome completed the adapted stigma scale. Results document the stigma experienced by an international sample of individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome. Factors demonstrated good internal consistency, and a model fit was found in a confirmatory factor analysis. Participants endorsed high levels of stigma, estrangement, and disclosure. Implications of these findings and future directions are discussed.
