Abstract:
Covid-19 has severe implications for the emergence of negative stigmatization of specific individuals and community groups. Due to labeling and discrimination, mental attacks cause psychological distress so seriously that it requires proper handling. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a systematic literature review on articles on COVID-19 stigmatization. This paper used descriptive analysis that 248 articles are from the Scopus database obtained by keyword Covid-19 stigmatization in the 2020-2021 time span were then processed and visualized using the Vosviewer software. The results reveal the three most dominant concepts studied: anxiety, isolation, and knowledge. The Covid-19 stigma arises due to low public knowledge, widespread Covid-19 disinformation, and lack of trust in the government. This research contributes to a description of the root causes and adverse effects of stigmatization during Covid-19 to help formulate recommendations for preventive and treatment actions that can be taken. Meanwhile, the limitation of this research is that the articles reviewed are only sourced from Scopus, so they do not have comparative data. Therefore, future studies require using a comparative analysis approach that uses a Web of Science (WoS) database.
