VL - 13 IS - 2 SE - Research Report DO - UR - https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/thaijss/article/view/259198 SP - 1-13 AB - <p>The process of stigmatization of patients who were formerly infected with Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) or post-COVID-19 patients, was studied. Qualitative research was done with data gathered by questionnaire and in-depth interviews from eight samples, all post-COVID-19 patients.</p><p>Results were that samples were stigmatized by three social conditions: self-appointed virtue police who judge illness by blaming afflicted people; general misconceptions about COVID-19 infection; and fear of contagion from the pandemic.</p><p>These findings suggest that service staff should be encouraged to provide follow-up services to post-COVID-19 patients and establish appropriate isolation zones without compromising human dignity or values.</p> ER -
