Self-Stigmatization and Shame Surrounding OCD Health Outcomes
Get PDFObsession Compulsion Disorder (OCD) is characterized as a disorder with persistent unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors that sooth these unwanted thoughts. Research has found that OCD, as a mental illness, is considered a concealable stigmatized identity (CSI), an identity that is hidden from others but still carries the burden of stigma. The goal of this review is to explore the negative consequences of stigmatization and its effect on health outcomes for people with OCD. A literature review was conducted using key words, “OCD”, “Stigmatization”, “Shame”, and “Treatment”. Health outcomes include both mental and physical. Our review found that OCD and its stigmatization leads to poor health outcomes, as well as the avoidance of treatment, and in some cases, strong suicidal ideations. Some studies also report adverse treatment from clinicians, which also factor into this stigmatization and causes further harm. This shows that patients with OCD have adverse health outcomes, and that stigma has a hand in this. Our findings indicate that more research needs to be done on how to mitigate the factors of this stigmatization. Some emerging research reports the use of an application as a way to alleviate the burden of stigmatization, but more work is needed
Food Insecurity at Ursinus College: Past, Present, Future
No full textFood insecurity and waste are intersecting issues that we address in our dual-part research project. The CERCLE team, Isabella Dolan, Danielle Monaco, and Greyson Fusco, directed by Dr. Brie Berry and assisted by Lauren Davis, have conducted research over the past two years to understand the extent of food insecurity at Ursinus College. We distributed a survey via Qualtrics to students, asking about their experiences with accessing food on campus. We learned that food insecurity has an equal impact across all demographics. To capture the complete picture, we utilized quota sampling to interview twelve students to further understand their complex experiences with food access on campus.
Furthermore, we’ve developed an action plan to utilize Canvas as a notification system for surplus food at campus events. As a continuation of our capstone project, this solution addresses both food waste and food insecurity by lowering access barriers to free food for students. The program is a free system sustained by “Food Rescue Champions”, willing students and faculty who will post announcements to notify the campus where the event is happening and how much food is available. This program is modeled after the successful Free Food on Campus (FFOC) program at LaSalle University
