Multiple Sclerosis-Reece Stigma Scale (MS-RSS) Turkish Adaptation: Validity and Reliability Study

Öz

Objective: Stigma is a behavior that affects the bio-psycho-social lives of patients with multiple sclerosis, as it does in other chronic diseases, as well as their treatment processes. The aim of this study is to adapt the short and reliable Reece Stigma Scale-Multiple Sclerosis (RSS-MS) into Turkish under the name of Multipile Skleroz-Reece Stigma Sakala (MS-RSS) and to conduct its validity and reliability study. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 416 individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The "Personal Information Form" and the "MS-RSS" translated into Turkish were applied to individuals who agreed to participate in the study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to examine the construct validity of the scale. To calculate the reliability of the scale, internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's Alpha) and item-total correlations were analyzed. Results: It was found that the minimum Chi-square value was statistically significant and the other fit index values were within the desired range. In CFA, the Standardized Regression Coefficients (std. β) were above 0.30, positive and significant. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was 0.844 and item-total correlations ranged between 0.334 and 0.742. Conclusion: In conclusion, the MS-RSS can be used as an effective tool in assessing the perception of stigma among MS patients.
