The aim of the study was to evaluate stigmatizing attitudes towards schizophrenia among Turkish Twitter users.
In the study designed with the qualitative research method, the tweets containing the keywords "schizophrenia", "schizophrenic", "psychotic" and "psychosis" in Turkish on Twitter were collected using the Knime program. The main themes and sub-themes were created by content analysis.
The studies revealed three major themes: "insult", "negative point of view", and "anti-stigma". While the sub-themes of "swearing" and "mocking" were determined under the main theme of "insult", the sub-theme of "false beliefs" was determined under the theme of "negative point of view", and the sub-themes of "medically appropriate" and "defensive" were determined under the main theme of "antistigma". In the results, it was determined that the word schizophrenia was commonly used to humiliate others and used as a way of addressing with slang words or to mock and that there were stigmatizing statements revealing negative feelings and thoughts in such a way that they would be inconsistent with medical information.
The results of this study can be used to develop programs to combat stigma against schizophrenia disorder and to determine content.
本研究旨在评估土耳其推特用户对精神分裂症的污名化态度。
本研究采用定性研究方法，使用 Knime 程序收集了土耳其语中包含“精神分裂症”、“精神分裂症患者”、“精神病”和“精神错乱”等关键词的推文。采用内容分析法创建主要主题和子主题。
研究揭示了三个主要主题：“侮辱”、“负面观点”和“反污名化”。在“侮辱”的主要主题下确定了“咒骂”和“嘲笑”两个子主题，在“负面观点”的主题下确定了“错误信念”子主题，在“反污名化”的主要主题下确定了“医学上恰当”和“防御性”两个子主题。研究结果表明，“精神分裂症”一词通常被用来侮辱他人，被用作俚语或嘲笑的方式，而且存在一些带有污名化的言论，表达了负面的感受和想法，与医学信息不符。
本研究结果可用于制定针对精神分裂症障碍的反污名化计划，并确定相关内容。
