Feedback: Epidemiology is the study of patterns of disease distribution and
determinants of health within populations. It contributes to the overall
understanding of the mental health status of population groups, or aggregates,
and it examines theassociations among possible factors. Epidemiology does not
explain research findings about neurophysiology, provide theoretical explanations
for why specific disorders occur, or predict recovery.
2. A nurse is working in a community mental health center that provides care
to a large population of people of Asian descent. When developing programs for
this community, which of the following would be most important for the nurse to
address?
A) Public stigma
B) Self-stigma
C) Label avoidance
D) Negative life events
,Integrated Process: Nursing
ProcessObjective: 5
Page Number: 4
Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be
addressed, in this cultural group, label avoidance would be most important.
Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care so as not to be labeled mentally ill is
a type ofstigma that influences why so few people with mental health problems
actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of
mental illness that influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they
possibly ignore thesymptoms or refuse to seek treatment because of this stigma.
Negative life events affect anyone, not just those of the Asian culture.

B) Schizophrenic

Feedback: Just as a person with diabetes should not be referred to as a
“diabetic” but rather as a “person with diabetes,” a person with a mental disorder
should neverbe referred to as a “schizophrenic” or “bipolar,” but rather as a
“person with schizophrenia” or a “person with bipolar disorder.” Doing so helps
to counteract the negative effects of stigma.
4. A nursing student is reviewing journal articles about major depression. One of
the articles describes the number of persons newly diagnosed with the disorder
during thepast year. The student interprets this as which of the following?
A) Rate
B) Prevalence
C) Point prevalence

of cases in thepopulation compared with the total population. Prevalence refers to
the total numberof people with the disorder within a given population at a specified
time, regardless ofhow long ago the disorder started. Point prevalence refers to
the proportion of individuals in the population that have a disorder at a specific
point in time.

thMe negative effects of
stigmatization, more specifically public stigma. Self-stigma reflects a person's
internalization of a negative stereotype; that is, the person with the mental illness

refers to avoiding treatment or care so as not to be labeled mentally ill. Lack of
knowledge is often the underlying theme associated with any type of stigma.
