Abstract

This study was planned to determine the factors affecting the stigmatising tendencies of university students studying in health-related departments towards alcohol and substance use. This research was carried out with the participation of 212 students who were willing to participate in the study between 22.04.2021 and 29.04.2021 at the Health Services Vocational School and Faculty of Health Sciences. The data in the study were collected by using a questionnaire consisting of 38 questions about the sociodemographic characteristics of the students and alcohol substance use, the Yedam Alcohol Dependence Stigmatisation Scale and the Yedam Drug Dependence Stigmatisation Scale. Percentage calculation, Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, t-test, analysis of variance, Tukey’s test and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient were used to evaluate the data. It was observed that the scores of Yedam Alcohol Dependence Stigmatisation Scale and Yedam Substance Dependence Stigmatisation Scale differed according to some characteristics of the students
