Internalized Stigma in Substance Use Disorder: A Comparative Study

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the levels of internalized stigma among patients diagnosed with substance use disorder and to compare these levels with those observed in patients diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 167 patients. All participants completed a socio-demographic data form and the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) scale. Results: Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (n = 54) and substance use disorder (n = 55) exhibited significantly higher internalized stigma scores compared to those with bipolar affective disorder (n = 58) (p = 0.003 and p = 0.004, respectively). There was no significant difference in stigma levels between patients with substance use disorder and those with schizophrenia (p = 1.000). Among patients with substance use disorder, female participants had significantly higher internalized stigma scores than their male counterparts (p = 0.034). Notably, the level of internalized stigma in patients with substance use disorder was comparable to that observed in schizophrenia. Conclusion: Assessing internalized stigma in patients with substance use disorder is crucial for improving functionality, treatment adherence, and the management of comorbid conditions such as depressive disorders.
