The detrimental consequences of stigma have been recognized in extensive research on mental illness stigma, but experiences of suicide-related stigmatization have not received sufficient research attention. The lack of a simple self-report assessment of personal suicide-related stigma led to the work reported here. To develop and assess the validity of the Personal Suicide Stigma Questionnaire (PSSQ). The item pool for PSSQ was based on qualitative data and was tested in a community sample of 224 adults (mean age = 32.68 years, 83% female, 92.9% Caucasian) who reported lifetime suicidality. Factor analysis was used for item selection. The Self-Stigma of Mental Illness Scale - Short form (SSMIS-SF) and Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire - Revised (SBQ-R) were used to assess validity of the scale. Following analysis, 16 items, forming three highly interrelated factors (Rejection, Minimization, and Self-blame), were selected for the PSSQ. The PSSQ scores showed predicted relationships with mental illness stigma and suicidality, suggesting its validity. The validity of the scale still requires further research in clinical populations. The newly developed PSSQ can be used to assess the levels of suicide-related stigma experiences of suicidal individuals.
污名的有害后果在广泛的精神疾病污名研究中得到了承认，但与自杀相关的污名化经历并没有得到足够的研究关注。缺乏对个人自杀相关污名的简单自我报告评估，导致了这里报告的工作。 旨在开发和评估个人自杀污名问卷 (PSSQ) 的有效性。 PSSQ 的项目池基于定性数据，并在一个由 224 名成年人组成的社区样本中进行了测试（平均年龄=32.68 岁，83%为女性，92.9%为白种人），这些成年人报告有过自杀念头。使用因子分析进行项目选择。使用精神疾病自我污名量表-短版（SSMIS-SF）和修订后的自杀行为问卷（SBQ-R）来评估量表的有效性。 经过分析，选择了 16 个项目，形成了三个高度相互关联的因素（排斥、最小化和自责），用于 PSSQ。PSSQ 分数与精神疾病污名和自杀行为呈预测性关联，表明其具有有效性。 该量表的有效性仍需要在临床人群中进一步研究。 新开发的 PSSQ 可用于评估有自杀念头的个体的自杀相关污名体验水平。
