Do We Learn To Internalize Stigma From Our Parents? Comparison of Internalized Stigmatization in Adolescents Diagnosed With Adhd and Their Parents
(Mdpi, 2022) Dikeç, Gül; Bilac, Oznur; Kardelen, Cansin; Sapmaz, Sermin Yalin; Hemşirelik Bölümü
This study compared internalized stigmatization levels of adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with those of their parents. The study's data were collected from 107 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and their parents between July 2020 and March 2021. The adolescents were followed up in the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic of a university hospital in western Turkey. The information forms for adolescents and parents, the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale-Adolescent Form (ISMI-AF) and the Parental Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (PISMI), were used to collect the data. There was no statistically significant difference between the total scores of internalized stigma and subscale mean scores of the adolescents and their parents (p > 0.05); only the subscale scores for stereotype endorsement were found to be significantly different (p < 0.05). PISMI scores affected ISMI-AF scores, which can be interpreted as parents' perspectives and attitudes toward stigmatization affecting adolescents. For ADHD, whose frequency is increasing daily, intervention studies should be conducted to reduce adolescents' and parents' internalized stigma and to enhance the educational outcomes of adolescents.

(Wiley, 2022) Dikeç, Gül; Bilac, Oznur; Kardelen, Cansin; Sapmaz, Sermin Yalin; Kandemir, Hasan; Hemşirelik Bölümü
Purpose: The aim of this descriptive study was to determine the factors affecting internalized stigmatization of adolescents with mental disorders. Method: The study data were collected in a university hospital between August 1, 2020 and July 30, 2021 (n = 123), using a Personal information form and the Internalized Stigmatization of Mental Illness-Adolescent Form (ISMI-AF). Results: Gender and the number of hospitalizations were determined to be independent variables with explanatory power in the ISMI-AF, and in the model created with these variables, it was determined that these variables explained 18% of the change in the total points of the ISMI-AF. Conclusions: It could be recommended that psychosocial programs are developed with the aim of decreasing internalized stigmatization and increasing the psychological resilience of adolescents.
