Internal structure and reliability of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI-29) and Brief Versions (ISMI-10, ISMI-9) among Americans with depression - ProQuest


Description

Stigma and Health2.3 (Aug 2017): 159-174. The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness (ISMI) Scale is designed to measure self-stigma among persons with psychiatric disorders. Research provides varying degrees of evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the original English language version of the ISMI-29 as well as an array of translated and/or modified versions for particular disorders or populations used with samples from around the world. The present paper is the first to use confirmatory factor analysis to investigate the internal structure of the English ISMI-29, ISMI-24 (a version that excludes the Stigma Resistance subscale), and ISMI-10 short-form (ISMI-10) using a sample of 758 community-dwelling adults who identified as depressed.
