English abstract:
      Objective To understand the status of stigma and subjective well-being of patients with mental disorders and co-resident family members, to analyze the correlation between them, and to compare the impact of stigma upon the subjective well-being of patients and family members of the same household.Methods Patients with mental disorders (n=154) and their families (n=154) who visited the outpatient department of a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Chengdu from October to November 2019 were selected, and four instruments were used for collecting the data, including self-designed demographic information questionnaire, self-designed disease-related information questionnaire, brief version of Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI-10) and Index of Well-Being Scale (IWB).Results A total of 118 (76.62%) patients with mental disorders and 151 (98.05%) family members experienced stigma. The total score and each factors score in ISMI-10 of family members were higher than those of patients (P<0.01), and the total score and each dimension score in IWB were lower than those of patients (P<0.01). Pearson correlation analysis showed that ISMI-10 total score of patients and family members was negatively correlated with IWB total score (r=-0.600,-0.202, P<0.05 or 0.01). After controlling demographic and disease-related variables, multiple linear regression analysis showed that the regression model of mental disorder patients achieved good fit effect (adjusted R2=0.457), with statistical significance (F=26.746, P<0.01), while the regression model of co-living family members was lack of fit (adjusted R2=0.035). After controlling for family demographic variables, the model was at the statistical level (F=3.769, P<0.01).Conclusion Mental disorder patients have low illness stigma and high subjective well-being, whereas the opposite is true for family members. Moreover, there is a negative relationship between stigma and subjective well-being for both patients and family members, stigma is a significant factor affecting subjective well-being for people with mental disorders.
