The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illnesses Scale (ISMI) was developed by Boyd-Ritsher et al. (2003), and adapted into Turkish by Ersoy and Varan (2007). Then, by Dikeç et al. (2019) based on ISMI, the scale items were adapted to the parents of individuals with mental illness, and Turkish validity reliability was established. The scale consists of 29 items. The scale includes "alienation (item: 1,5,8,16,17,21)", "confirmation of stereotypes (item: 26,10,18,19,23,29)", "perceived discrimination (item: 3.15)". ,22,25,28)", "social withdrawal (item: 4,9,11,12,13,20)", "resistance to stigma (item: 7,14,24,26,27)" It has five subscales. The items in the scale are answered as "strongly disagree" (1 point), "disagree" (2 points), "agree" (3 points), "strongly agree" (4 points). The scale total score ranges from 29 to 116 and there is no scale cutoff score.
