CASSIANI-MIRANDA, Carlos et al. Factors associated with the stigma-discrimination complex towards healthcare workers among university students during the coronavirus pandemic in Mexico. Univ. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.24, suppl.1, pp.294-300.  Epub 28-Dez-2022. ISSN 0124-7107.  https://doi.org/10.22267/rus.222403.285.

Introduction:

COVID-19-related stigma towards healthcare professionals negatively influences their job performance and well-being, however, this issue has not been sufficiently investigated.

Objective:

To determine the frequency and variables associated with COVID-19-related stigma toward health care workers in a university population in Mexico.

Materials and methods:

Cross-sectional study. An online questionnaire was sent to 1,054 students between 18 and 29 years of age. Demographic variables, religiosity, fear of COVID-19 and its association with COVID-19-related stigma-discrimination towards health workers (dependent variable) were analyzed. Bivariate analysis and a generalized linear model were performed to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios.

Results:

The proportion of high stigma-discrimination was 12.4% and was associated with high fear of COVID-19 RPa= 1.51 (95% CI 1.06 - 2.23).

Conclusion:

The findings highlight the importance of establishing programs to reduce COVID-19-related stigmatization towards healthcare professionals.
