[Abstract] Objective To explore the relationship between stigma and negative emotions after cerebral hemorrhage and hematoma removal. Methods A total of 180 patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected as the study subjects, and were treated with hematoma removal. Stigma scale (SSS) for stroke patients was used to evaluate patients stigma level and set as low, medium and high level groups. The National Institutes of Health Neurological Impairment Assessment Scale (NIHSS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were compared in patients with different levels of stigma. Results The average SSS score of 180 patients with cerebral hemorrhage after hematoma removal was (54.12±6.12) points, of which 52 were in the high-level group, 75 were in the middle-level group, and 53 were in the low-level group. The three groups of SSS scores, NIHSS scores, MBI scores, HAMD scores, and HAMA scores had statistically significant differences (P<0.05). SSS score is positively correlated with NIHSS score, HAMD score, and HAMA score, and negatively correlated with MBI score (P<0.05). Conclusion Stigma after cerebral hemorrhage and hematoma removal is at a moderate level, which is significantly correlated with neurological function, mobility and negative emotions. It can promote functional recovery, strengthen psychological care, and reduce stigma.
