Based on these results, nurses with counseling and trainer roles should be aware of the psychological issues faced by infertile individuals and psychiatric counseling should become a part of the diagnostic process for infertility treatment.

Purpose The purpose of the present study is to conduct the Turkish validity and reliability study of the Infertility Stigma Scale (ISS). Design and methods This methodological study was conducted in an infertility polyclinic in Turkey. The sample consisted of 178 infertile women. Findings The validity of the four‐factor structure of the scale and the appropriateness of its fit indices were confirmed. The analyses of internal consistency indicated that the total score correlations of items were sufficient; test‐retest, r = 0.948;P < 0.001; Cronbach's α = 0.93. Practice implications ISS could be used as a useful assessment instrument in investigating the stigma concerning infertility and making efficient related interventions.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of mindfulness-based psychoeducation on internalized stigma in patients with schizophrenia. The patients were recruited from the community mental health centers. This quasiexperimental study was conducted using pretests and posttests with a control group. The participants were 69 patients with schizophrenia; 34 were part of the experimental group and 35 were part of the control group. The patients in the experimental group participated 2 days a week for 6 weeks in a total of 12 sessions which were given in the form of face-to-face group training. The difference between the scale mean posttest scores of the patients in the experimental and control groups was found to be statistically significant ( p < .05). In the intragroup comparisons, a significant difference was found between the stigma mean scores in the experimental group ( p < .05). It was concluded that mindfulness-based psychoeducation was effective in reducing stigma in patients with schizophrenia.
