摘要
Background: Morally injurious events (MIEs), encompassing personal transgressions, witnessing others commit transgressions, or experiencing betrayal by leaders, can conflict with one's moral/ethical principles, evoking outrage and profound mistrust. Although MIEs are associated with depression, PTSD, and anxiety, the mechanisms linking MIEs to psychiatric symptomatology remain unclear, especially among civilians in times of collective trauma.Objective: This study explored one potential mechanism: stigma toward mental-health treatment, which can deter help-seeking and exacerbate guilt, shame, and mistrust.Method: We focused on civilians (N = 1,052) exposed to MIEs in conflict zones in southern and northern Israel following the 7 October 2023 attack. Participants were recruited using an online platform and assessed for depression, PTSD, and anxiety symptoms. We hypothesised that stigma toward treatment would mediate relationships between MIE exposure levels and depression, PTSD, and anxiety symptoms.Results: Results showed high MIE exposure levels and symptomatology among civilians in conflict zones. Moreover, we found significant indirect effects of stigma toward treatment on all three symptom types.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that while MIEs directly link to symptoms, stigma toward treatment plays a significant role in understanding this link. These findings emphasise the importance of addressing stigma toward treatment for individuals experiencing MIEs and underscore the need for targeted interventions in conflict zones. Antecedentes: Los eventos moralmente perjudiciales (MIEs por sus siglas en ingl & eacute;s), que incluyen transgresiones personales, presenciar transgresiones por parte de otros o experimentar la traici & oacute;n de los l & iacute;deres, pueden entrar en conflicto con los principios morales/& eacute;ticos de una persona, lo que provoca indignaci & oacute;n y una profunda desconfianza. Aunque los MIEs se asocian con depresi & oacute;n, TEPT y ansiedad, los mecanismos que vinculan los MIEs a los s & iacute;ntomas psiqui & aacute;tricos siguen siendo poco claros, especialmente entre civiles en tiempos de trauma colectivo.Objetivo: Este estudio explor & oacute; un mecanismo potencial: el estigma hacia el tratamiento de salud mental, que puede disuadir la b & uacute;squeda de ayuda y exacerbar la culpa, la verg & uuml;enza y la desconfianza.M & eacute;todo: Nos centramos en civiles (N = 1,052) expuestos a MIEs en zonas de conflicto en el sur y norte de Israel tras el ataque del 7 de octubre, 2023. Los participantes fueron reclutados utilizando una plataforma en l & iacute;nea y se evaluaron s & iacute;ntomas de depresi & oacute;n, TEPT y ansiedad. Hipotetizamos que el estigma hacia el tratamiento mediar & iacute;a las relaciones entre los niveles de exposici & oacute;n a MIEs y s & iacute;ntomas de depresi & oacute;n, TEPT y ansiedad.Resultados: Los resultados mostraron altos niveles de exposici & oacute;n a MIEs y sintomatolog & iacute;a en los civiles en zonas de conflicto. Adem & aacute;s, encontramos efectos significativos indirectos de estigma hacia el tratamiento en los tres tipos de s & iacute;ntomas.Conclusiones: Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que, si bien los MIEs se vinculan directamente con los s & iacute;ntomas, el estigma hacia el tratamiento juega un papel significativo en la comprensi & oacute;n de este v & iacute;nculo. Estos hallazgos enfatizan la importancia de abordar el estigma hacia el tratamiento para las personas que experimentan MIEs y resaltan la necesidad de intervenciones espec & iacute;ficas en las zonas de conflicto.
