dc.description.abstractObjective: The purpose of this study was to assess anxiety, depression, loneliness, and stigmatization in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: A descriptive and cross sectional study was conducted with 208 out-patients in a state hospital due to PT. A patient identification form, Tuberculosis Patients Stigma Scale (TPSS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) and University California of Los Angeles (UCLA) Loneliness Scale were used as data gathering forms. Arithmetic averages, standart deviation (SD), pergentage, and correlation were used in statistical analysis. Results: The prevalence of anxiety (26.0%), depression (60.5%), and loneliness (49.0%) was observed to be among patients with PT. It was found that patients with PT suffered from stigmatization (47.6%). Conclusion: In conclusion, patients with PT experience high level of depression, moderate-high level of loneliness, mild level of anxiety, and moderate level of stigmatization.
