Description
Esra Başer Akın and colleagues test, in a 2026 study from Türkiye, whether a scale that measures stigma linked to dialysis works well in Turkish. Dialysis patients often face shame or unfair treatment, which can harm mood, social life, and willingness to keep up treatment. Nurses need a sound local tool to spot that stigma. The study ran at a private dialysis center in Sivas between July and September 2025.
Ninety-two patients filled in the translated scale and a short background form. Experts rated how well the items fit the topic, and the team checked the scale's structure with factor methods. Scores held together strongly on the standard consistency measures. Repeating the test later gave close results, showing stability. The authors conclude the Turkish version measures dialysis-related stigma validly and steadily, giving clinics a practical tool.
