BACKGROUND: People with mental illness are vulnerable to abuse in the community. Cultural and social practices may be contributory.
AIM: To explore the social representation of abuse of persons with mental illness among the inhabitants of Jakiri municipality in Cameroon.
METHOD: This was a qualitative study based on the Theory of Reasoned Action, conducted in 2018 among 11 inhabitants of Jakiri municipality, aged above 18 years and who had lived in the town for at least 2 years. In-depth face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data were analyzed using the basic thematic approach.
RESULTS: The belief that mental illness is incurable, a curse from the gods, a result of witchcraft, and a punishment for violation of core social norms were identified as the reasons for physical violence against persons with mental illness. Beliefs that persons with mental illness were disorganized, destructive, physically aggressive, and dependent on others were identified as reasons for emotional abuse.
CONCLUSION: A misconception of mental illness was the major underlying factor for the abuse of persons with mental illness.
