Abstract

Description

In recent years, there has been an increase in women’s alcohol consumption, which has a negative impact, among others, on their levels of anxiety and depression, self-concept and the treatment seeking. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to carry out an updated systematic review of the impact of stigma on women with alcohol problems in their mental health and treatment research (using the PRISMA method). According to the results, between the barriers to seek treatment, the women had the highest levels of stigma and it was found that self-stigma is associated with depression and poor health. Therefore, knowing the impact of stigma on women’s well-being can be very useful for developing, implementing and evaluating prevention individualized or group programs for women.
Azken urteotan emakumeen alkohol-kontsumoa areagotu egin da, zeinak eragin negatiboa daukan, besteak beste, haien antsietate- eta depresio-mailetan, autokontzeptuan eta tratamendu-bilaketan. Honenbestez, lan honen helburu nagusia da alkoholarekin arazoak dituzten emakumeekiko estigmak haien buru-osasunean eta tratamendu-bilaketan izan dezakeen eraginaren berrikuspen sistematiko eguneratua egitea (PRISMA metodoarekin). Emaitzen arabera, tratamendua bilatzeko oztopoen artean emakumeek estigma-maila altuagoak dituzte eta autoestigma depresioarekin eta osasun-maila urriarekin lotuta dagoela ikusi da. Hortaz, estigma motak emakumeen ongizatean zer-nolako inpaktua duen jakitea oso lagungarri izan daiteke prebentzio-programak garatzeko eta emakumeei zuzendutako tratamendu indibidualizatu zein talde-mailakoak diseinatu, inplementatu eta ebaluatzeko.
