“…Typifi cation concerning those with a psychiatric diagnosis includes blameworthiness for any perceived failings around managing their own health. [63,64] Such views are reproduced in a broader social world where individualism dominates. Good health is underpinned by a series of positive and punitive government and health policies designed to remind all citizens of our responsibility to eat well, exercise regularly, not smoke, not be overweight, and not be poor.…”

This paper uses social constructionism to critically explore the social world of intensive care units, and to consider how the presence of mental health consumers impacts on nursing practice. Following a series of interviews with intensive care nurses, our analysis suggested consumers are disenfranchised through stigma, policing, and inattention to psychosocial needs. We argue that the maintenance of knowledge and power networks are fundamental aspects of reality maintenance in intensive care. The social reproduction of typifi cations among nurses about consumers positioned these patients as disrupting the proper business of intensive care units; a process that we argue is bound up with the imbalanced power relationships. Further, intensive care staff maintain power structures serving intensive care interests, such as physiological rescue and the preservation of biomedical authority. We conclude that the production and reproduction of intensive care nursing knowledge maintains a social-power structure at odds with the needs of consumers.

“…Here, it is important to stress self-stigma, also described as internalized stigma, where stigmatized people become aware of the negative stereotypes people impose on them and agree with and apply these stereotypes to themselves. The consequences of internalized stigma are usually associated with low self-esteem, hopelessness, reduced self-efficacy, incapacitation, exacerbating existing problems and diminished social conviviality (18) .…”

Resumo OBJETIVO Apreender os motivos da ação do redutor de danos ao desempenhar suas atividades junto ao usuário de drogas. MÉTODO Pesquisa qualitativa, realizada em um município do estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brasil, em maio de 2017, por meio da entrevista fenomenológica com 17 Redutores de Danos. Utilizamos a análise e interpretação da Fenomenologia Social de Alfred Schütz. RESULTADOSDa análise, constatamos três categorias: expectativa por mudanças no mundo da vida do usuário, motivação no trabalho mediado pelo reconhecimento de suas ações, e, relação com o outro como aprendizado para a vida. CONCLUSÃO O motivo da ação do redutor de danos está relacionado à família, busca por uma casa, emprego, acesso à saúde, direitos e estigma, bem como, através do retorno de suas ações, satisfação pessoal e aprendizado junto aos usuários de drogas.

“…Since many years there are claims, mainly among stakeholder groups but also in the scientific community, to remove the term 'schizophrenia' from ICD-11, butafter serious discussionthe name will be retained as it was in DSM-5. The reason for this claim is based on the fact that schizophrenia is associated with stigma and discrimination attached to dangerousness and unpredictability in the eyes of the public (Sheehan et al, 2017). Proponents see a name change as a means and an opportunity to reduce stigmatizing beliefs thereby improving the situation of patients, families and care givers (Lasalvia et al, 2015).…”

“…Schizophrenia is perceived as a disorder with poor natural course, non-favourable treatment outcomes and dangerousness. It may evoke fear and anger in lay persons (Sheehan et al, 2017). Some patient organisations like the Schizophrenia and Related Disorders Alliance of America (SARDAA) demand a reclassification and recognition of schizophrenia as 'brain illness'.…”

The concept and name of schizophrenia have been questioned in the scientific community and among various stakeholders. A name change is seen as a means and an opportunity to reduce stigmatizing beliefs and to improve mental health care. Some Asian countries have already taken the step of a name change. So far, however, the scientific community of western countries has not yet come to an agreement on any alternative name. Meeting relevant criteria for a new name, finding agreement among all involved groups and replacing the established term is a complex process. For now, the concept of schizophrenia has proven its reliability, clinical utility and validity, although schizophrenia is a stigmatised mental disorder like many others. Renaming cannot be the only answer to negative beliefs, prejudice and discrimination.
