“…The PIOSS scale is primarily used to evaluate physicians' identification with negative labels, perceptions of devaluation and discrimination, and denial and disapproval of their profession[ 107 ]. Besides, Healey et al [ 108 ] developed the Forensic Stigma Scale (FSS) with 12 items falling into two dimensions that refer to danger/unpredictability and blame/responsibility[ 108 ]. Although PIOSS and FSS have strong validity and reliability, the study subject did not include psychiatrists.…”

Psychiatrists require frequent contact with and treatment of patients with mental illnesses. Due to the influence of associative stigma, psychiatrists may also be targets of stigma. Occupational stigma warrants special consideration because it significantly affects psychiatrists' career advancement, well-being, and their patients’ health. Given that there is no complete summary of this issue, this study reviewed the existing literature on psychiatrists' occupational stigma to clearly synthesize its concepts, measurement tools, and intervention strategies. Herein, we emphasize that psychiatrists’ occupational stigma is a multifaceted concept that simultaneously encompasses physically, socially, and morally tainted aspects. Currently, standardized methods to specifically measure psychiatrists’ occupational stigma are lacking. Interventions for psychiatrists’ occupational stigma may consider the use of protest, contact, education, comprehensive and systematic methods, as well as the use of psychotherapeutic approaches. This review provides a theoretical basis for the development of relevant measurement tools and intervention practices. Overall, this review seeks to raise public awareness of psychiatrists' occupational stigma, thereby promoting psychiatric professionalism and reducing its stigma.

“…The Forensic Stigma Scale (FSS) is composed of 12 items divided into two dimensions – Dangerousness/Unpredictability and Responsibility/Blame. 40 Although the FSS has good reliability and validity, it was developed only for the occupational stigma of the medical examiner and assesses the public stigma of patients towards physicians. Fan et al, developed the Patient toward Physician Occupational Stigma Scale (PPOSS) based on individual cognitive models.…”

Background/Objective Internalized occupational stigma may develop in physicians as a result of their identification with the public negative labels and stereotypes about them, and then internalization of them as a part of their self-concept. This study aims to develop the Physician Internalized Occupational Stigma Scale (PIOSS) and to examine its reliability and validity. Methods In study 1, the initial scale was used to investigate 356 physicians. While in study 2, a total of 346 physicians were investigated with the survey tools named the PIOSS, the Career Commitment Scale (CCS), the Workplace Well-Being Scale (WWBS), the Scale for the Doctor with Patient-doctor Relationship (DDPRQ-10), the Intent to Leave Scale (ILS) and the Occupational Disidentification Scale (ODS). Results The PIOSS includes 19 items divided into 3 dimensions: label identification, status loss, and career denial. The results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) reveal that the three-factor model fitted well ( χ 2 /df=2.574, RMSEA= 0.068, CFI= 0.931, IFI= 0.931, TLI= 0.919, PNFI= 0.762, PCFI= 0.795). The PIOSS total and each dimension scores were significantly negatively correlated with the CCS and the WWBS scores and remarkably positively associated with the DDPRQ-10, the ILS, and the ODS scores. Cronbach’s α coefficients for the PIOSS total scale and dimensions ranged from 0.775 to 0.914, and split-half reliability coefficients ranged from 0.801 to 0.931. In addition, the PIOSS exhibited cross-gender invariance. Conclusion Having good reliability and validity, the PIOSS can serve as a valid tool for the assessment of physician internalized occupational stigma.
