dc.description.abstractAimThis study was designed as descriptive and correlational to determine the effect of self-compassion on the level of stigma in individuals with substance use disorder.Material and MethodThe study was conducted with 97 patients diagnosed with substance use disorder who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of hospital. The data were collected using a Descriptive Information Form, the Self-Compassion Scale Short Form, and the Substance Use Stigma Mechanism Scale. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, mean/standard deviation, median and min-max, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation test, and Simple Linear Regression Analysis were used for statistical analysis of the data.ResultsThere was a weak negative correlation between self-compassion and the enacted stigma and internalized stigma subscales and a very weak negative correlation between self-compassion and the anticipated stigma subscale. Self-compassion and level of stigma were negatively correlated, and the self-compassion scale affected the stigma mechanism scale by 16%. Analysis of the mean scores of the stigma subscale showed that the highest score was observed in enacted stigma subscale and its mean score was 17.10 +/- 6.20.ConclusionsIt is thought findings will provide mental health professionals with goals for coping with stigma, provide an important basis for psychoeducation programs to be developed, and will make significant contributions to the literature on the potential mechanisms that play a role in the relationship between self compassion and stigma.
