“…27 Discrimination was faced by 56% of the study subjects and 46% reported having experienced stigma. This is lower in comparison to the study by Bipeta et al (2020) in the Indian state of Telangana, wherein 76.32% reported to have experienced a moderate-to-high level of stigma while 85.53% endorsed secrecy. 28 This difference can be explained by the geographical and cultural differences between the two places where the studies were conducted.…”

Self-esteem is defined as a person's satisfaction, confidence and perceived worth of him. Depression is a widespread and severe social problem. For people with depression, their life standards are seriously affected. There is evidence that low self-esteem and depression are related. This article looks at the effects of low self-esteem on depression, and suggests that low self-esteem may be a cause for depression. Through a meta-analysis method, data on participants' self-esteem and depression is extracted and analyzed from past researches on the correlation between self-esteem and depression. The participants range from adolescents to elderly as well as special groups. Then, a causational relationship is deduced from the correlation. The results suggest that low self-esteem can be one of the reasons of depression, showing a need for raising people's self-esteem to prevent depression. The results also indicate a need for future researches to focus on how effective different ways of elevating self-esteem are.

“…In a meta-analysis, conducted by Pascoe and Richman (2009) it was stated that the perception of discrimination and devaluation was negatively linked with both mental and physical health and stigma may also increase distress by decreasing the sense of social support. Self-stigma of the caregivers of patient with schizophrenia generally occurs as devaluation, decreased self-esteem, social withdrawal, and concealment of the illness (Bipeta et al, 2020). In a study performed in Turkey it was showed that caregivers of patient with schizophrenia were unwilling to communicate with their close friends, neighbors, or relatives, lower self-esteem, ideas about failure, senses of uselessness, thoughts about feeling unable to be happy, and thoughts about their inability to fulfill their duties were seen as the perceived devaluation of the perceived devaluation of the caregivers (Yıldız et al, 2019).…”

Background: The study was conducted to determine the relationship between self-stigmatization and perceived social support in caregivers of schizophrenia with patient. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. The study sample consisted of 84 participants who cared for schizophrenic patients registered in a community mental health center. In the data collection, the ‘Self-stigmatizing Scale for Families’ and ‘Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale’ were used. The data were analyzed via frequency, mean, standard deviation, Cronbach’s alpha analysis, linear regression, Pearson correlation analysis, independent samples t-test, and ANOVA test. Results: Self-stigmatization (32.48 ± 15.15) and perceived social support (44.36 ± 22.88) were found to be moderate in caregivers. Self-stigmatization was found to be higher in caregivers who do not work; have a spouse, mother, or father; have a disease; do not receive support from their family and have not received any education about schizophrenia ( p < .05). It was determined that, with increasing age, perceived social support decreases, and the perception of social support increases in caregivers who are high school graduates, working, having children, have no illness, and are educated about schizophrenia ( p < .05). It was determined that, as the level of perceived social support increases in caregivers, self-stigmatization decreases ( p < .05). Conclusion: It was determined that, as the perceived social support increases in caregivers, self-stigmatization decreases. We recommend providing informative support about schizophrenia, to increase hope and social-skill training, and to implement interventions that include caregivers in the fight against stigma.
