Background: Self-stigma (the internalisation of negative stereotypes) is known to reduce help-seeking behaviours and treatment adherence in people who have a mental illness, resulting in worsening health outcomes. Moreover, self-stigma diminishes self-esteem and self-efficacy, and leads to higher levels of depression. Half of all lifetime cases of mental illness have manifested by the age of 14, and therefore young people are vulnerable to the negative impact of suffering mental illness self-stigma. While literature in this field has been flourishing in recent years, mental illness self-stigma remains poorly understood in youth. It is important that we seek to understand what is currently known about mental illness self-stigma in young people, and subsequently use this information to guide future research to advance knowledge of this topic. To date, a scoping review which maps the available literature on mental illness self-stigma in young people has yet to be conducted. Here, we outline the protocol for a scoping review on mental illness self-stigma in young people. Methods: This protocol outlines the process of conducting a scoping review of primary research concerning mental illness self-stigma in young people. The Joanna Briggs Institute guidance on best practice for conducting a scoping review will utilised throughout. A systematic search of appropriate databases will be conducted which will allow for a two-step screening process and data charting. Inclusion criteria for this review dictates that eligible studies will i) include a population within the age range of 10-35 (or mean age within this range), ii) include the term self-stigma or internalised stigma relating to mental health/illness/disorder, iii) be primary research, iv) be published post-2009 (following the seminal study by Moses, 2009) and v) be published in English. Discussion: The findings of the scoping review outlined in this protocol will be used to inform future research which aims to explore self-stigmatising attitudes and beliefs of young people experiencing mental illness. This research will result in co-produced, impactful resources for young people on the topic of mental illness self-stigma with the aim of raising awareness and stigma reduction.

年轻人的精神疾病自我污名：范围审查协议

背景：众所周知，自我污名（负面刻板印象的内化）会减少精神疾病患者的求助行为和治疗依从性，从而导致健康状况恶化。此外，自我污名会降低自尊和自我效能，并导致更高程度的抑郁。一生中一半的精神疾病病例在 14 岁之前表现出来，因此年轻人很容易受到精神疾病自我污名的负面影响。虽然近年来这一领域的文献蓬勃发展，但青年人对精神疾病的自我污名仍然知之甚少。重要的是，我们寻求了解目前对年轻人精神疾病自我污名的了解，并随后使用这些信息来指导未来的研究，以提高对该主题的了解。迄今为止，尚未进行范围界定审查，以绘制有关年轻人精神疾病自我污名的现有文献。在这里，我们概述了对年轻人精神疾病自我污名的范围审查的协议。方法：本协议概述了对有关年轻人精神疾病自我污名的初级研究进行范围审查的过程。乔安娜·布里格斯研究所 (Joanna Briggs Institute) 关于进行范围界定审查的最佳实践指南将贯穿始终。将对适当的数据库进行系统搜索，这将允许进行两步筛选过程和数据图表。本次审查的纳入标准要求符合条件的研究将 i) 包括年龄范围为 10-35 岁（或该范围内的平均年龄）的人群，ii) 包括与心理健康/疾病/障碍有关的术语自我污名或内化污名，iii) 是主要研究，iv) 于 2009 年后发表（继摩西的开创性研究之后，2009 年）和 v) 以英文发表. 讨论：本协议中概述的范围界定审查的结果将用于为未来的研究提供信息，该研究旨在探索患有精神疾病的年轻人的自我污名化态度和信念。这项研究将为年轻人提供关于精神疾病自我污名的联合制作的、有影响力的资源，目的是提高认识和减少污名。本协议中概述的范围界定审查的结果将用于为未来的研究提供信息，该研究旨在探索患有精神疾病的年轻人的自我污名化态度和信念。这项研究将为年轻人提供关于精神疾病自我污名化的联合制作的、有影响力的资源，目的是提高认识和减少污名化。本协议中概述的范围界定审查的结果将用于为未来的研究提供信息，该研究旨在探索患有精神疾病的年轻人的自我污名化态度和信念。这项研究将为年轻人提供关于精神疾病自我污名化的联合制作的、有影响力的资源，目的是提高认识和减少污名化。
