The aim of this study was to develop two culture-specific scales to measure the level of felt stigma, and level of concealment of Turkish adult people with epilepsy (PWE). For this purpose, a 10-item felt-stigma scale and a 17-item disclosure of epilepsy scale were developed and then applied to 200 adult PWE. After item and factor analyses of the stigma scale, the 10 items with a one-factor solution explained 45.6% of the variance with a 0.86 internal consistency value. Higher scores represent higher felt stigma. The concealment of epilepsy scale has 17 items loaded on one factor, which explained 45.1% of the variance. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.92. The higher the score, the higher the concealment of illness by the participant. For convergent validity, the relationship between stigma and disclosure scales was examined, and a positive significant relation (r=0.64, p<0.000) was found.
本研究的目的是开发两种针对特定文化的量表，以测量土耳其成年癫痫患者（PWE）的感知耻辱感水平和隐瞒程度。为此，开发了一个包含10个条目的感知耻辱感量表和一个包含17个条目的癫痫症披露量表，然后将其应用于200名成年癫痫患者。在对耻辱感量表进行项目和因子分析后，10个条目采用单因素解决方案，解释了45.6%的方差，内部一致性值为0.86。得分越高表示感知耻辱感越高。癫痫症隐瞒量表有17个条目加载在一个因子上，解释了45.1%的方差。克朗巴哈系数为0.92。得分越高，参与者对疾病的隐瞒程度越高。为了检验收敛效度，研究了耻辱感量表和披露量表之间的关系，发现两者呈显著正相关（r = 0.64，p < 0.000）。
