The findings revealed that the self-stigma scale for patients with diabetes is a valid and reliable instrument. The Diabetes Self-Stigma Scale was confirmed with 16 items. It consists of four domains: comparative inability, social withdrawal, self-devaluation and apprehensive feeling. The scale developed in this study can measure self-stigma in diabetes patients and can be used as an intervention to reduce self-stigma.
