Abstract

Abstract: 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.
