Decreased treatment motivation is reported to be one of the most common reasons for poor treatment compliance and relapse after treatment. This study aims to determine whether internalised stigma, perceived social support, depression, and anxiety have an effect on treatment motivation in patients diagnosed with GD and to examine the effect of sociodemographic data on this relationship. The study was conducted in an alcohol and substance abuse treatment centre on the Asian side of Istanbul. A total of 165 patients between the ages of 18-60 who were diagnosed with GD were included in the study. Sociodemographic and clinical data form, internalised stigma scale in mental illness (ISMI), multidimensional perceived social support scale (MSPSS), Beck depression inventory (BDI), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) and treatment motivation questionnaire (TMQ) were used to collect data. A moderate positive relationship was found between intrinsic motivation and alienation and (ISMI); between extrinsic motivation and depression, anxiety, and confirmation of stereotypes; between (TMQ) and alienation and (ISMI); and a weak negative relationship was found between (MSPS) and (TMQ). It was concluded that alienation, stereotype endorsement, and perceived discrimination explained 34% of the variance in treatment motivation; alienation and (ISMI) explained 30% of the variance in intrinsic motivation; depression, anxiety, and stereotype endorsement explained 31% of the variance in extrinsic motivation; and stereotype endorsement explained 6% of the variance in interpersonal help-seeking. It was concluded that social support had no effect on treatment motivation.}, number={4}, publisher={Ondokuz Mayıs University}, organization={YEŞİLAY DOKTORA BURSU}
