We present an exploratory factor analysis of the 8-item Daily Indignities of Mental Illness (DIMI) scale, created to measure the detection and perceptions of recurring stigma among individuals with recent psychiatric hospitalizations. Structured in-person interviews were conducted with individuals with recent psychiatric hospitalizations in metropolitan New York. The 8-item DIMI scale's internal consistency for the sample (n = 65), measured by Cronbach's alpha, was 0.869. Statistically significantly higher DIMI scale scores were observed among individuals with more than 2 psychotic episodes and those reporting seeing relatives less often after hospitalization. The DIMI scale possesses good internal consistency for research contextualizing perceptions around the occurrence or recurrence of mental illness-related stigma among individuals with recent psychiatric hospitalizations.
我们对8项精神疾病日常羞辱量表（DIMI）进行了探索性因素分析，该量表旨在衡量近期有过精神病住院经历的个体对反复出现的污名化现象的察觉和认知。我们对纽约大都市近期有过精神病住院经历的个体进行了结构化的面对面访谈。通过克朗巴哈系数（Cronbach's alpha）测量，样本（n = 65）的8项DIMI量表的内部一致性为0.869。在有超过2次精神病发作的个体以及报告住院后较少见到亲属的个体中，观察到DIMI量表得分在统计学上显著更高。对于研究近期有过精神病住院经历的个体围绕与精神疾病相关的污名化现象的发生或复发的认知情况而言，DIMI量表具有良好的内部一致性。
