Abstract
Objectives: The purposes of this study were to assess the internalized stigma and to examine the correlation between factors and the internalized stigma.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were gathered from 90 eligible persons in the rehabilitation wards of Thanyarak Khonkaen Hospital between May 22nd and September 30th, 2023. This study utilized personal questionnaires and the Internalized Stigma of Substance Abuse Scale as data collection instruments. Descriptive statistics were used, and multiple regression analyses were performed to examine correlations.
Results: The majority of the participants were male, aged between 20 and 29 years, with rehabilitation durations ranging from 21 to 30 days. The frequency of amphetamine use was 3 to 4 days per week. The quantity of amphetamine use was fewer than 5 pills. Half of persons with amphetamine dependence in rehabilitation wards exhibited mild levels of internalized stiga. Analysis of the correlations between factors and internalized stigma revealed that the quantity of amphetamine use significantly correlates with internalized stigma (P-value = 0.031).
Conclusion: Persons with amphetamine dependence in rehabilitation wards exhibited mild levels of internalized stigma. There was correlation between the quantity of amphetamine use and the level of internalized stigma . It is recommended that therapeutic interventions should be developed to reduce internalized stigma among amphetamine-dependent persons undergoing rehabilitation.
