Abstract

AIM: The study was carried out to determine the effect of stigma on acceptance of illness and hopelessness in tuberculosis patients. METHODS: The study was carried out in descriptive and cross-sectional type. The study included 125 tuberculosis patients who received inpatient treatment at a public hospital. The data were obtained by using patient identification form, Tuberculosis Stigma Scale, Acceptance of Illness Scale, and Beck Hopelessness Scale. RESULTS: It was determined that the stigma and disease acceptance perceived by tuberculosis patients were moderate and hopelessness was low. There is a moderate negative relationship between stigma and acceptance of illness level of patients (p <0.05). It was determined that there was a weak positive relationship between the stigma and the hopelessness level of the patients (p <0.05). It was found that 30% of the change in patients’ acceptance of illness level and 12% of the change in hopelessness level were explained by stigma (p <0.05). CONCLUSION: It has been determined that stigma is an important determinant in the level of acceptance of illness and hopelessness in tuberculosis patients. Health professionals should inform patients, patient relatives and the community about the ways of transmission and treatment of tuberculosis both through corporate training and through social media.

Özet

AMAÇ: Araştırma tüberküloz hastalarında damgalamanın hastalığı kabul ve umutsuzluk düzeyine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. YÖNTEM: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte yürütülen araştırmaya, bir kamu hastanesinde yatarak tedavi gören 125 tüberküloz hastası dahil edilmiştir. Veriler hasta tanılama formu, Tüberküloz Damgalama Ölçeği, Hastalığı Kabul Ölçeği ve Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. BULGULAR: Tüberküloz hastalarının algıladıkları damgalamanın ve hastalığı kabulün orta düzeyde olduğu, umutsuzluğun düşük düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hastaların damgalama ile hastalığı kabul düzeyi arasında negatif yönde orta düzeyde (p<0,05); damgalama ile umutsuzluk düzeyi arasında pozitif yönde zayıf düzeyde ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Hastaların hastalığı kabul düzeyindeki değişimin %30’unu ve umutsuzluk düzeyindeki değişimin %12’sinin damgalama tarafından açıklandığı saptanmıştır (p<0,05). SONUÇ: Tüberküloz hastalarında damgalamanın hastalığı kabul ve umutsuzluk düzeyinde önemli belirleyici olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sağlık profesyonellerinin, tüberküloz hakkında bulaşma yolları ve tedavisi ile ilgili hastaları, hasta yakınlarını ve toplumu gerek kurumsal eğitimlerle gerekse sosyal medya aracılığı ile bilgilendirmesi gerekmektedir.
