Show moreLong-term symptom management is an important consideration for many individuals with serious mental illness to maintain recovery over time, prevent relapse and rehospitalization, and decrease symptom severity. Psychotropic medications can be an important aspect of treatment planning; however, many barriers exist that can impact medication adherence and treatment efficacy. Research suggests that internalized stigma and neurocognition may impact medication adherence, but research has yet to investigate the relationship between these three constructs in tandem. In this study, medication adherence was measured via medication possession ratio calculated from pharmacy records (objective) and self-reported medication use (subjective). Selection of neurocognitive domains and assessment measures was informed by MATRICS and ISBD-BANC consensus batteries. The primary expectations were that verbal memory and executive functioning would be related to medication adherence behaviors and that these domains would moderate the relationship between internalized stigma and medication adherence. A consistent association was seen between measures of self-reported medication use over time, suggesting participants were generally consistent in their reported use. While analyses testing the primary hypotheses were nonsignificant, in the context of limitations of statistical power, trends emerged that may be worthy of further investigation. Future research should continue to explore the potentially multifaceted relationships between factors contributing to adherence. A more comprehensive understanding these relationships has implications for clinicians and consumers in addressing treatment barriers and disengagement by developing more nuanced and targeted interventions.

Show moreStigma toward people with mental illness can have deleterious effects; employers avoid hiring them, landlords avoid renting to them, and negative attitudes are often a barrier to receiving quality health care. Literature on political ideology indicates that people tend to have fairly stable attitudes over time that are consistent with their political orientation. It is also the case that political ideology is an underlying factor of attitudes toward personal responsibility and hierarchical societal structure. Political ideology, as an underlying framework for attributing controllability through which many individuals view the world, is a demographic variable that needs to be further explored to more completely integrate variances into anti-stigma approaches. Pre-intervention data from a larger study assessing the effects of newspaper articles on attitudes about mental illness were utilized to examine the influence of political orientation on stigmatizing and affirming attitudes toward people with mental illness. Pearson product moment correlations between demographics, political orientation variables, stigmatizing attitudes, and affirming attitudes were conducted. Regression analyses were conducted to determine if political orientation or the interaction between political orientation and demographics are significantly related to stigmatizing attitudes. Results showed that political affiliation emerged as significant associated with pity, danger, blame, and anger when moderated by other demographics suggesting that endorsement of affiliation with a particular political party alone is not sufficient to emerge as related to stigmatizing attitudes, but rather varies at levels of other demographic variables.
