“…Written informed consent was obtained from the volunteers, and the questionnaire was filled out. The questionnaire was prepared by modification of the questions used for previous infectious diseases [ 6 ], each of which examines a separate sociological and psychological condition, together with sociodemographic information. The questionnaire consisted of 29 questions in total, according to a two-point Likert scale, in which the volunteers stated whether they agreed with the statements or not.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate change in the stigma that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic over time and the factors responsible for the change. Methods Individuals with COVID-19 who presented to Ankara Medicalpark and VM Medicalpark Hospitals' Internal Diseases and Chest Diseases polyclinic between May 2021 and April 2022 were examined. The volunteers were divided into two groups: those who had COVID-19 within the first six months of the pandemic (group 1) and those who had it in the second six months (group 2). The questionnaire assessing stigma consisted of 29 propositions that participants could mark whether they agreed with them or not. Results The median age of the volunteers was 38 years. Eighty-eight (69.3%) had the disease in the first six months of the pandemic and 39 (30.7%) in the second six months. Moreover, 76.1% of the participants in the first group and 94.9% of those in the second group did not agree with the statement "I thought COVID-19 was a punishment for me" (p=0.011). Further, 56.8% of the participants in the first group and 97.4% of those in the second group stated that they did not agree with the statement "Employers may terminate the employment of employees who they find out have contracted COVID-19" (p<0.001). 80.7% of the participants in the first group and 38.5% of those in the second group agreed with the statement "There was social discrimination against people who caught COVID-19" (p<0.001). Conclusions At the beginning of the pandemic, the participants had concerns about losing their status and jobs, but this anxiety decreased over time. Stigma in the first six months of the pandemic was greater than that in the second six months, and discrimination related to stigma decreased with recognition of the disease and the increase in experience.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the levels of perceived stigma and social support and presence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with tuberculosis and to investigate the association of perceived stigma and depression with demographic and disease related factors.Methods: This study included patients older than 18 years of age with tuberculosis. The hospital anxiety depression scale (HADS), stigma of tuberculosis scale (STS), and multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) were applied to the participants. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to define correlates of depression and perceived stigma.Results: A total of 204 patients were included. The risk of anxiety and depression were 25% and 36.8%, respectively. Multivariate binary logistic regression analyses suggested that higher HADS-anxiety scores and lower MSPSS scores were associated with a depressive HADS score and that a lower BMI, higher HADS-anxiety score, and higher HADS-depression score were associated with high levels of perceived stigma.Conclusions: The rates of depression, stigmatization, and anxiety were high in these patients. Anxiety symptoms were positively and social support was inversely associated with depressive symptoms. A lower BMI and higher depression and anxiety scores were independently associated with high levels of perceived stigma.

“…Hence, it is important to measure the stigma tendency to raise public awareness about stigma. Most of the scales studied in Turkey were focused on measuring the stigmatization of mental illnesses, AIDS, and tuberculosis (Ersoy and Varan, 2007; Özpınar et al, 2013; Sezer and Kezer, 2013; Yaman and Güngör, 2013). This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Cancer Stigma Scale (CASS) for the Turkish population made up of individuals without a cancer diagnosis.…”

Objectives This study is aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Cancer Stigma Scale for the Turkish population (CASS-T). Methods The sample of the study consisted of 412 students of a foundation university located in Ankara, Turkey. The reliability of the CASS was evaluated using the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient and item-total score correlations. Exploratory factor analyses were applied to examine the factor structure of the scale and its construct validity. To test the time invariance of the scale, the relationships between the scores obtained from the first and second applications were examined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of CASS-T was 0.83. In the factor analysis, it was confirmed that the scale has a six-dimensional structure in parallel to original version, namely Avoidance, Severity, Responsibility, Policy opposition, Awkwardness, and Discrimination. The ICC values all remained in the range that indicates the reliability of the 0.63–0.71 to be substantial. The contribution of the six factors of the CASS-T scale to the variance is 57.8. Significance in results The Turkish version of the CASS was confirmed to have good reliability and validity for evaluating stigma toward cancer in Turkish society.
