    Internalized stigma in physicians with mental illness
    (Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2021) Kılınçel, Mehmet Oğuzhan; Ay, Rukiye
    Objective: Internalized stigma means accepting negative statements and stereotypes about the disorder in people with mental disorders and reflecting on their thoughts and behaviors. High levels of internalized stigma negatively affect the recovery process in mental disorders and reduce functionality. In our study, it is aimed to determine the internal stigmatization levels of physicians with mental disorders and the factors affecting stigmatization levels. Method: The study was conducted between October 1, 2020-November 30, 2020, using an online cross-sectional self-report survey, and included 156 volunteer physicians who completed the survey questions. A "sociodemographic and clinical characteristics evaluation form" and the "Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale" were applied to all participants. Results: It was observed that physicians were most frequently diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (54.5%) and Anxiety Disorder (32.1%). It was observed that 62.8% of physicians used psychopharmacological treatment, 12.8% had attempted suicide, and 8.3% received inpatient treatment. There was no statistical difference between the age, gender, professional experience, and departments of the groups considered as high- and low-internalized stigma. Individuals with Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and Substance Use Disorder were observed to be in the high internal stigma group. In addition, a higher rate of family history of psychiatric illness was observed in the high-internalized stigma group. Discussion: Our study demonstrated that physicians with a mental illness had internalized stigma as in individuals with mental illness. Considering that internalized stigma affects attitudes and behaviors towards these patients, determining these differences will be a guide in struggles to prevent stigma against mental illnesses.

    Psychological Attitudes of Physicians in Seeking Help and Associated Factors
    (Aves, 2023) Goksel, Pelin; Ay, Rukiye; Kilincel, Oguzhan
    Background: Physician suicides have been increasing in recent years, and this shows that the psychological state of physicians is a subject that needs research and intervention. We think that the factors affecting the behavior of physicians to seek medical help due to their psychiatric disorders should be addressed. Therefore, we conducted a study examining the relationship between the anxiety, depression and stress levels of physicians, their attitudes toward seeking psychological help, and the degree of self-stigma related to seeking help.Methods: One hundred sixty-six physicians who accessed online platforms were included in the study, and data were collected using self-report forms. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale, and the Self-Stigma in Seeking Help Scale were used as assessment instruments. Results: A positive correlation was found between negative attitudes toward seeking psychological help and depression, anxiety, and stress, whereas a negative association was found between positive attitudes and depression, anxiety, and stress. A significant association was found between age and depression and anxiety scores.Conclusion: Physicians with high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress are more likely to exhibit negative attitudes toward seeking psychological help, and interventions are needed to improve attitudes toward seeking help.
