Oleh :

dr. Soeklola SpKJ MSi

Pandemi yang disebabkan oleh penyebaran coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) telah mengubah membentuk stigma seseorang terhadap orang lain, masyarakat, lingkungan, atau dirinya sendiri sehingga membutuhkan penanganan yang tepat. Beberapa pemberitaan, khususnya mengenai peningkatan jumlah infeksi, kematian, tidak adanya obat, tidak tersedianya fasilitas atau alat pelindung diri yang mencukupi turut mempengaruhi pandangan tersebut.[1-3]

Respons yang umum terjadi berupa ketakutan yang tinggi terjangkit penyakit, menjadi sumber penyebaran penyakit, dan berusaha menyelamatkan diri agar tidak terinfeksi. Adanya ketakutan terjangkitnya infeksi juga berperan dalam meningkatkan penghindaran akan penyakit tersebut dan meningkatkan perilaku hidup bersih seseorang (misalnya kegiatan mencuci tangan yang baik).[1-5]
