Mental Illness, Photojournalism and Internet: toward a more humanised and normalised image

Rebeca Pardo Sainz

Abstract: Las imágenes de publicaciones médicas y de los medios de comunicación más tradicionales habían logrado crear una iconografía estigmatizante contra la que se manifiestan asociaciones y afectados de estas enfermedades, a los que las redes sociales como Instagram y los blogs ofrecen una vía, hasta hace poco tiempo impensable, que democratiza la posibilidad de representar y difundir el día a día con la enfermedad mental, incluso en fotoperiodismo. Un elevado número de estas imágenes son tomadas y compartidas por l… Show more

Accessible SummaryWhat is known on the subject? People with mental health difficulties have poorer physical health than the general population. The stigmatizing attitude of health professionals impacts the quality of care for these people. There is a broad background on the effectiveness of activities based on theoretical training, clinical practices or social contact to improve nursing students’ attitudes towards people with mental health difficulties. There is an important need to assess whether the benefits identified in the short term are maintained in the longer term. What does the paper add to existing knowledge? The positive evolution of attitudes towards mental illness does not last over time. Some students’ attitude towards people with a mental health difficulty worsened in the final stage of their training after completing clinical practices. What are the implications for practice? It is necessary for tutors incorporate an understanding of stigma throughout the degree training and to discuss with the students the emotional aspects experienced during the performance of clinical practices. The design of any anti‐stigma intervention must include the factor of “time”. AbstractIntroductionThe stigma of health professionals is a contributing factor to morbi‐mortality among people with mental health difficulties. There is a lack of research on long‐term outcomes in nursing students.ObjectiveTo identify factors associated with the evolution of stigmatizing attitudes towards mental illness in a cohort of students trained in mental health.MethodA prospective observational study of the impact of training in mental health care. Age, gender, stigma, level of previous familiarity with mental illness, self‐education by Internet, academic performance and the place where practicums are conducted were evaluated on three occasions over 15 months.ResultsAcademic performance, online consultation and the size or origin of the theoretical group were indicators of better attitudes. The positive evolution of attitudes does not last over time.DiscussionInstability over time could be explained by students’ experience in the practicum, although the time itself has been identified as a determining factor.Practical implicationsFurther studies should be promoted in academia to assess the content of mental health training and its influence on the evolution of the stigmatizing attitude. It is also necessary to address stigma in small groups, where students with better academic results lead anti‐stigma activities.

Los problemas de salud mental se han incrementado y han obtenido una mayor visibilidad tras los años de pandemia, y la población adolescente no es ajena a los mismos. En una investigación anterior, que versaba sobre los referentes literarios y cinematográficos de una muestra de estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, obtuvimos que los propios alumnos citaban la normalización de enfermedades mentales entre los motivos por los que situaban un conjunto de ficciones entre sus preferencias. Ello nos animó a investigar en torno a la representación de dichas enfermedades en el cine y en la literatura, a abordar las percepciones y actitudes juveniles a este respecto y a reflexionar sobre el estigma social y la discriminación que a menudo rodean a la salud mental por medio de la discusión de un par de títulos de calidad estética en torno a la temática (la novela El baile de las locas de Victoria Mas y la película Locas de alegría de Paolo Virzi). Así, tras una breve introducción teórica en torno a las representaciones sociales, literarias y cinematográficas de la salud mental y sus consecuencias y sobre el concepto de educación literaria inclusiva, presentamos una propuesta didáctica dirigida a estudiantes de cuarto de ESO a partir de las obras mencionadas, con el objeto de promover el disfrute lector y el pensamiento crítico, al tiempo que contribuir a la disminución de la discriminación y el estigma en torno a las enfermedades mentales.

The State of Alarm period declared by the Spanish Government due to the coronavirus crisis has had an exhaustive media coverage. However, it is observed how the visual story / narrative that has been published in the newspapers goes beyond the health field, focusing mainly on aspects of a social, political or economic nature. The types of images with the greatest presence in the representation of the harshest weeks of the pandemic determine the type of coverage, causing some relevant aspects to be minimized or invisibilized, and conditions the impact and the understanding of the severity of the disease in the society, in a particularly difficult and decisive moment such as the confinement of citizens. In the same way, the published images will have a later impact as a document by becoming part of the historical memory in the future. This article focuses on the analysis of the images published during the State of Alarm in three of the most relevant and broader scope national newspapers (El país, La vanguardia and El mundo), which is complemented by semi-directed interviews with several photojournalists who have covered Covid-19 during its first stage. The cataloging of the photographs in various categories is intended to observe the type of story that has been made visible of the Covid-19 (assessing the way in which this pandemic is being shown as an epidemic or syndemic), as well as to detect some of the most present and/or recurring visual representations and identify which are the most prominent absences.
