Abstract

Latar Belakang. Pandemi COVID-19 telah muncul sebagai bencana dan menjadi krisis kesehatan global bagi umat manusia. Pandemi tidak hanya dihantui oleh tragedi dengan angka kematian nasional sekitar 5% penderita, tetapi juga distigmatisasi oleh masyarakat.Tujuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji faktor stigma terkait pandemi COVID-19 dan dampaknya pada pasien konfirmasi COVID-19 di Indonesia.Metode. Studi kasus ini dilakukan pada tahun 2020 dengan mengumpulkan informasi dari sumber primer yang meliputi wawancara secara virtual dengan 4 penyintas COVID-19 di Indonesia.Hasil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor stigma terdiri dari tiga faktor yaitu penyakit masih baru dan banyak informasi yang belum diketahui; kita sering takut akan hal yang tidak diketahui; dan ketakutan akan hal yang tidak diketahui dapat dengan mudah dikaitkan dengan 'orang lain'.Kesimpulan. Pada awal pandemi COVID-19, masyarakat di Indonesia belum memahami secara jelas tentang wabah COVID-19, termasuk penularannya, penanganannya, dan cara pencegahannya. Kesalahpahaman ini dapat menyebabkan stigmatisasi dan kemungkinan memperpanjang pandemi dan lamanya pembatasan sosial berskala besar. ABSTRACT Background.

The result of this study shows that factors of stigma consist of three factors which consist of the disease is new and much information remains unknown; we are often afraid of the unknown; and the fear of the unknown can easily be associated with ‘others’.Conclusion.
