Social stigma is felt or assumed in case of disability by community brings?
Appeared in: SJH Nursing Officer - 2019
Explanation
- Social stigma against people with disabilities leads to their exclusion from social, educational, and professional activities, causing isolation.
- Stigma creates significant barriers, resulting in serious problems like unemployment, poverty, delayed healthcare, and increased risk of abuse.
- The emotional toll of constant prejudice and rejection often manifests as bitterness, resentment, and low self-worth.
- Because stigma causes isolation, serious problems, and bitterness, 'All of the above' is the most complete and correct answer.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: This is a correct consequence of stigma, but it is not the only one. Choosing this option ignores the other significant practical and emotional impacts.
- Option B: While 'Serious problems' is true, it is a very broad term. This option is less precise than 'All of the above,' which specifies the types of problems, including social isolation and emotional distress.
- Option C: This focuses only on the internal, emotional response to stigma. It overlooks the external, societal consequences like isolation and practical problems.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Consequences of Social Stigma in Disability as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- Nurses have a crucial role in combating stigma by educating patients, families, and communities. Using person-first language (e.g., 'person with a disability' instead of 'disabled person') is a key first step.
- Nurses should screen for signs of social isolation and depression in patients with disabilities, as these are common and treatable consequences of stigma. Referrals to support groups and mental health services are vital.
- Advocacy is a core nursing function. This includes advocating for accessible healthcare facilities, promoting anti-discrimination policies, and connecting patients with resources for vocational rehabilitation and community integration.
How to Approach the Question
- First, read the question to understand the core concept: the effects of social stigma on people with disabilities.
- Analyze each option individually. Ask yourself, 'Is isolation a result of stigma?' (Yes). 'Are serious problems a result of stigma?' (Yes). 'Is bitterness a result of stigma?' (Yes).
- Notice that options A, B, and C are all plausible and correct consequences.
- When multiple options seem correct, check if there is an 'All of the above' or 'None of the above' option.
- Since options A, B, and C are all valid consequences, 'All of the above' is the most comprehensive and therefore the best answer.
- This type of question tests your ability to recognize the multifaceted nature of a social or psychological concept.
