Abstract

Covid-19 or a disease caused by the corona virus became an epidemic after being declared by WHO as a global pandemic. The disease for which no cure has yet been found is a threat of a new pandemic that is spreading rapidly throughout the world, which has a psychological impact on people who are confirmed positive for Covid-19. Based on the data obtained, comorbid hypertension and diabetes mellitus, male gender, and active smokers are risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection. More gender distribution in males is thought to be associated with a higher prevalence of active smoking. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between the psychological impact of patients exposed to Covid-19 and community stigma in Wonogiri district, Central Java, Indonesia. The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross sectional design. The population of this study were all patients exposed to (confirmed positive) Covid-19 who were undergoing outpatient care at the Outpatient Service Unit of Soediran Mangun Sumarso Hospital, Wonogiri Regency. The sample used in this study was obtained by estimating the proportion with absolute precision. Because in health research the commonly used degree of confidence is 95%, the value is determined to be 1.96. So after entering the formula, the sample size is 92 respondents. The research instrument adopted from Internalized Stigma of Mental Illnes scale from Ellis (2015) and the DASS-21 scale from Rivera et al (2020).
