RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STIGMA AND MENTAL HEALTH OF PHYSICALY DISABLED: MEDIATING EFFECT OF RESILIENCE
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The physically disabled is easy to develop a psychological problem due to long-term limitation of motion and inconvenience in social communication. There's still no consensus on whether stigma is related to the mental health of the physically disabled. However, resilience is closely related to mental health. To determine the influencing mechanism of stigma and resilience on mental health, the influences of stigma on anxiety and depression as well as the role of resilience in this process were explored in this study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 200 physically disabled people who had needs of rehabilitation were chosen from 5 communities surrounding Wuhan University of Technology from April 2020 to October 2021. Subjects' resilience, stigma, and mental health level were investigated by the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC), social impact scale (SIS), self-rating depression scale (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7). RESULTS: Stigma of the physically disabled is positively related to anxiety and depression (r=0.618, 0.642, P<0.05), and it is negatively related to resilience (r=-0.561). Anxiety and depression are negatively related to resilience (r=-0.673, -0.665, P<0.05). Resilience can partially mediate the relationship between stigma and anxiety and depression. The mediating effect values are 0.10 and 0.18, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The stigma of the physically disabled is closely related to resilience, anxiety, and depression. It not only can influence mental health both directly and indirectly through the mediating effect of resilience.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
