Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo of self-stigma in diabetic patients and analyze its correlation with self-compassion.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, from December 2020 to January 2021, totally 240 diabetic patients admitted at the Department of Endocrinology in two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the general information questionnaire, Self-Stigma Scale (SSS) , and Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) . Hierarchical regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between self-stigma and self-compassion in diabetic patients. A total of 240 questionnaires were issued, and 225 valid questionnaires were recovered. The effective response rate was 93.75% (225/240) .Results:The total SSS score of the 225 diabetic patients was (56.47±16.72) , and the average score of all items was (2.01±0.60) ; the total SCS score was (86.46±12.79) , and the average score of all items was (3.33±0.49) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total SSS score of diabetic patients was negatively correlated with the total SCS score ( P < 0.01) . Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that self-compassion was an influencing factor of self-stigma in diabetic patients ( P< 0.01) , which could independently explain 13.1% of self-stigma (Δ R2=0.131, P<0.001) . Conclusions:Self-stigma of diabetic patients is at a moderate level, and self-compassion is an influencing factor of self-stigma of diabetic patients. Nursing staff can reduce patients ' self-stigma by improving their self-compassion.
