This descriptive study aims to identify the relationship between internalized stigma and perceived family support in patients hospitalized in an acute psychiatric unit.
The sample is composed of 224 patients treated in an acute inpatient psychiatric ward in İstanbul, Turkey. The data were collected using information obtained from the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale and Social Support from Family Scale.
The mean age of the patients was 37±11.56years, and the mean duration of treatment was 6.27±5.81years. Most patients had been hospitalized three or more times. Of the total number of patients, 66.1% had been taken to the hospital by family members. We noted a statistically significant negative correlation between the total scores obtained from the perceived Social Support from Family Scale and the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale.
The patients were observed to stigmatize themselves more when the perceived social support from their family had decreased.
本描述性研究旨在确定在急性精神科病房住院的患者中,内化耻辱感与感知到的家庭支持之间的关系。
样本由在土耳其伊斯坦布尔一家急性住院精神科病房接受治疗的224名患者组成。数据收集采用从精神疾病内化耻辱感量表和家庭社会支持量表获得的信息。
患者的平均年龄为37±11.56岁,平均治疗时长为6.27±5.81年。大多数患者已住院三次或以上。在患者总数中,66.1%是由家庭成员送往医院的。我们注意到,从家庭社会支持量表和精神疾病内化耻辱感量表获得的总分之间存在统计学上显著的负相关。
观察发现,当患者感知到来自家庭的社会支持减少时,他们会更多地自我污名化。
