摘要：

The purpose of this survey study is to compare self-stigma of depression between Christians and the general population. Three hundred and fifteen participants completed a survey which included demographic questions, identification as a Christian, denominational affiliation, the Self-Stigma of Depression Scale (SSDS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The primary endpoint was the SSDS in Christians vs non-Christians. Christians had a statistically significantly higher mean SSDS score than non-Christians. Evangelical Christians had a statistically significantly higher degree of self-stigma when compared to both non-evangelical Christians and non-Christians. The greatest difference in self-stigma was observed between evangelical Christians and non-Christians. Evangelical Christians displayed the highest degree of self-stigma. The findings of this study may impact practice by providing awareness to healthcare professionals regarding the importance of assessing for self-stigma rooted in religious belief.
