“…According to the majority of the participants, self-stigma of family membersespecially self-blame for not having recognized the mental health symptoms exhibited by their loved onesis common among affected families (Chang et al, 2017). This self-stigmatizing behaviour is corroborated by the view of Hasson-Ohayon et al (2019) that the society holds the family accountable for the diagnosis of the affected individual. Moreover, in the Asian context, stigma and cultural taboos could lead the PMHCs and their caregivers to focusing more on symptom reduction and less on building resilience.…”

“…It is noteworthy that, for the PMHCs, their families remain the greatest support system: by maintaining social contact with their loved ones, families learn to be more understanding and empathetic, thereby mitigating perceived stigma (Pang et al, 2017). Furthermore, by providing more support and education to the family on how to manage the condition, families demonstrate more ability to source for useful and relevant resources to help the PMHCs in their journey towards managing their conditions (Chang et al, 2017; Hasson‐Ohayon et al, 2019).…”

Perpetuated by negative perceptions of mental illnesses, mental health has remained a taboo subject in Asia. This in turn leads to perceived discrimination among people experiencing mental health conditions, due to which they become withdrawn and secretive, making it more challenging for them to seek help. Studies have explored possible reasons affecting societal perception of those with such conditions. The results, however, have been inconclusive on how young adults would perceive them. Through a qualitative descriptive approach and one‐to‐one interviews, this study explored societal perception towards people experiencing mental health conditions in Singapore by involving 22 adults aged 21 to 29 residing locally. The interviews were conducted with a semi‐structured question guide developed through a literature review. Data were analysed through Braun and Clark’s six‐step thematic analysis. The results reveal three distinctive themes that have influenced such societal perception: (i) how views are formed; (ii) the illness does not represent the person; and (iii) complex experiences of family and loved ones. The holistic analysis herein enriches the current understanding of societal perceptions on how stigma is formed towards people experiencing mental health conditions. This would equip mental health professionals with the necessary information in devising measures to reduce stigmatization. Furthermore, families, employers, and students who constitute the future generation should be more engaged in this process, since a more tolerant and less discriminatory society will mean fewer obstacles for those with such conditions when attempting to reintegrate into the society. The study followed the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative studies 32‐item checklist.

“…In addition to the cognitive impact of sharenting, the affection/attitude of parents towards children can be influential because it is part of parents' cognitive knowledge/insight practices about parenting that they just get after seeing or knowing from sharenting that other people do. The attitude of parents towards children will change according to the intellectual ability of parents from the results of cognitive development [34]. Among the effects on parental attitudes on children are sharenting about child development and education, morals, and increasing parental religiosity.…”

The phenomenon of parental care shared through social media (sharenting) is increasingly widespread. This research aimed to elaborate on the motives, strategies, and psychological effects of sharenting by millennial parents. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The subjects are millennial parents who have a habit of sharing parenting on social media and are members of the professional community. Determination of the sample uses purposive sampling so that as many as ten people consisted of five females and five males. Interviews, observations, and documentation are the methods used in data collection. Data were analyzed using reduction techniques, data presentation, and verification. The results showed that the motive of sharenting parents is to receive affirmation and social support, demonstrate the ability to care for children, social participation, and documentation. Millennial parents with a peer-oriented communication model do Sharenting. Sharenting for millennial parents has both positive and negative impacts, namely by providing new information and knowledge, making new friends, and support. The negative effects include feeling insecure, comparing her child with someone else's child, causing animosity and dissent. Thus, it can be concluded that sharenting by millennial parents is carried out with a variety of motives, carried out with a peer approach strategy, and has both positive and negative impacts at the same time. The implication is that millennial parents are more knowledgeable about parenting, understand good sharenting, and are psychologically trained in responding to netizens for their sharenting.

“…Reports of selfblame were particularly an issue for mothers relative to fathers. These reports tended reflect a range of underlying beliefs that included those related to having been a bad parent and not having been attentive to their child's illness and responding appropriately (Hasson-Ohayon, Goldzweig, Lavi-Rotenberg, Roe, & Pijnenborg, 2019).…”

Background:The first onset of psychosis can be a traumatic event for diagnosed individuals but can also impact negatively on their families. Little is known about how parents of the same child make sense of the illness. In mothers and fathers caring for the same child with early psychosis, the current study assessed their similarities and differences in key areas of their caregiving role.Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, parental pairs caring for the same child treated within an early intervention in psychosis service, completed selfreport measures on their caregiving experiences, illness beliefs, coping styles and affect.Results: Data from 44 mothers and fathers were analysed. Analyses confirmed that parents reported similar levels of emotional dysfunction and conceptualized the illness in broadly similar ways with regard to what they understood the illness to be, their emotional reactions to the illness, perceived illness consequences and beliefs about treatment. Significant differences were identified in their beliefs about the timeline of the illness and reported approaches to coping.Conclusions: With exception of beliefs about illness timeline and an expressed preference for use of emotion-based coping, parent caregivers of the same child in early psychosis services are likely to report similar illness beliefs and caregiving reactions.Efforts to ensure staff awareness of the potential areas of divergence in parental caregiving appraisals and exploring the implications of the divergence for the caregiving relationship and patient outcomes are indicated.
