This study aimed to examine the relationship between internalized stigma and happiness levels of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
This cross-sectional study was conducted between March and June 2021 with 100 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia conducted in a Community Mental Health Centre in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. Data were collected using Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire.
A negative statistically significant relationship was determined between the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the stigma resistance subdimension of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. The internalized stigma levels of the participating patients accounted for 35.1% of their happiness levels. The stigma resistance subdimension of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness scale affected the patients' happiness levels.
There was a negative significant relationship between the individuals' internalized stigma and happiness levels. More comprehensive interventions are needed to combat the stigma of mental disorders in Türkiye so that individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia can lead a happy life in society.
本研究旨在探讨精神分裂症患者内化耻辱感与幸福感之间的关系。
本横断面研究于2021年3月至6月间,在土耳其黑海东部地区的一家社区心理健康中心,对100名精神分裂症患者进行。使用精神疾病内化耻辱感量表和牛津幸福感问卷收集数据。
精神疾病内化耻辱感量表与牛津幸福感问卷之间存在统计学意义上的负相关关系。此外,精神疾病内化耻辱感量表的耻辱抵抗子维度与牛津幸福感问卷之间存在正相关。参与研究的患者的内化耻辱感水平占其幸福感水平的35.1%。精神疾病内化耻辱感量表的耻辱抵抗子维度影响患者的幸福感水平。
个体的内化耻辱感与幸福感之间存在显著负相关关系。在土耳其,需要更全面的干预措施来消除精神障碍的耻辱感,以便精神分裂症患者能够在社会中过上幸福的生活。
