Introduction: Diabetes stigma puts patients under the pressure and affects their lives. Considering the importance of stigma in the life and its effect on behavior and social interaction of patients with diabetes, the present study was conducted to determine the stigma in female adults with type I diabetes.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 110 adult girls with type 1 diabetes referred to the Iranian Diabetes Association. The participants were within the age range of 14-18 years, who were selected through convenience sampling technique. The data collection tools included the demographic information questionnaire, stigma perception questionnaire associated with type I diabetes, and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 22) using one way-ANOVA, independed t-test, and Pearson correlation.
Results: The findings of the study showed that the mean score of stigma perception in the subjects was 92.41(41). The mean score of self-steems in the subjects was 22.98(7.9). There was a negative correlation between the stigma and self-esteem (P=0.012, r=-0.754).
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results of the current study and the effect of diabetes mellitus type I on the lives of patients, health care providers should plan to reduce the stigma realted to the patients with diabetes mellitus.
