照護的內在標籤議題

The Intrinsic Problem of Labeling in Healthcare

偏見和刻板印象常見於日常生活，也許無傷大雅，但也可能造成人際互動間的傷害，若發生在專業照護人員身上，將造成難以想像的結果。美國社會學家Goffman（1963）描述汙名（stigma）一詞的是「個人沒有資格獲得社會充分接納的處境」。

While everyday prejudice and stereotypes may seem harmless, they can cause problems for interpersonal interactions and have drastic consequences for professional caregivers. American sociologist Goffman (1963) defined“stigma”as an individual being disqualified from complete social acceptance.
