The experience of stigmatization is widespread among obese patients. The aim of the present study was to translate the English version of the weight self-stigma questionnaire (WSSQ) into German and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the German version in a sample of severely obese persons. Between March and June 2013, in the Outpatient Department of Obesity, University Hospital Heidelberg, 94 obese patients were recruited consecutively. A comprehensive questionnaire was completed by the participants. Significant correlations between WSSQ scores and mental quality of life, weight-related quality of life, depression, shame, guilt, and psychological distress all demonstrated the construct validity of the German version of the WSSQ. Patients with a BMI ≥ 50 showed a significantly higher self-stigma compared to patients with a BMI between 35 and 50.
肥胖患者中普遍存在被污名化的经历。本研究的目的是将体重自我污名问卷（WSSQ）的英文版翻译成德文，并在严重肥胖人群样本中评估德文版的心理测量特性。2013年3月至6月期间，在海德堡大学医院肥胖门诊，连续招募了94名肥胖患者。参与者完成了一份综合问卷。WSSQ得分与心理生活质量、体重相关生活质量、抑郁、羞耻、内疚和心理困扰之间的显著相关性均证明了德文版WSSQ的结构效度。体重指数（BMI）≥50的患者与BMI在35至50之间的患者相比，自我污名程度明显更高。
