ABSTRACT

Although courtesy stigma is a key concept for us to understand the lives and caregiving experiences of parents of disabled children, there is no substantial research on that theme in Korea. This study aimed at providing the research base for the future relating studies through examining past studies on courtesy stigma in parents of disabled children. To achieve the purpose, this study adopted a literature review of studies examining courtesy stigma in parents of disabled children. An electronic search of studies published between 1988 and 2017, using five databases was conducted. Twenty-seven papers were included in the review. There included all the samples of 1,877 parents of children with 8 respective kinds of disabilities coming from 8 countries in the studies. The studies were characterized as qualitative, cross-sectional, and mixed in study design and divided into individualistic approaches and socio-cultural approaches in theoretical orientation. Four themes emerging from the results indicated that parents of disabled children experienced courtesy stigma in various ways, and used different strategies to cope with the stigmatizing situations. Also, courtesy stigma was found out to have a negative effect on some psychological and behavioral aspects of parents’ lives, and to be influenced by some individual and social factors. Past studies contribute to extend the scope of understandings on courtesy stigma, but have 1imitations in generalizability coming from sampling method and valid measuring instruments. Future research needs to be oriented to resolve these problems, and to find out what the current state and specific features regarding courtesy stigma are in Korea.
