摘要💬：該研究基於2020年5月收集的網絡調研數據，探究了與新冠肺炎相關的公眾汙名水平及其相關因素。研究發現31.8%的樣本對新冠肺炎患者有較高的汙名化水平，其中公眾的年齡較大、處於已婚狀態、受教育程度較低更傾向有較高的公眾汙名水平👏🏻，當人們認為新冠肺炎的危險性程度越高、恐懼水平越高、越感到憤怒時，也與較高的公眾汙名水平相關。因此😀🧑🏽‍⚕️，該研究表明👨🏻‍🦯‍➡️，與新冠肺炎相關的公眾汙名在我國普遍存在🚶🏻，需開展相關的去汙名化行動策略🐑：傳播正確的新冠肺炎信息、改變不恰當的歸因，並為公眾提供社會心理支持。

This study aimed to examine the profile of COVID-19-related public stigma and its correlates in the general population of China. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in China from 7 May to 25 May in 2020. A total of 1212 participants from the general population completed the survey measuring their stigmatizing attitudes towards COVID-19, as well as knowledge and causal attributions of COVID-19. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to examine the correlates of COVID-19-related public stigma. A total of 31.8% of participants endorsed stigmatization towards people with COVID-19. Those who were of older age (t = -3.97, p < 0.001), married (F = 3.04, p < 0.05), had a lower level of education (F = 8.11, p < 0.001), and a serious psychological response (F = 3.76, p < 0.05) reported significantly higher scores of public stigma. Dangerousness (B = 0.047, p < 0.001), fear (B = 0.059, p < 0.001), anger (B = 0.038, p < 0.01), and responsibility (B = 0.041, p < 0.001) were positively associated with public stigma. This study shows that public stigma related to COVID-19 is prevalent in the general population of China. Actions against public stigma need to contain the spread of misinformation about COVID-19, alter inappropriate attributions, alleviate unfavorable reactions, and provide psychosocial support for the public.
