This study aimed to assess the extent of stigmatization experienced by individuals with plaque psoriasis. Patients in the study filled out both the Polish version of the 6-item Stigmatization Scale and the 33-item Feelings of Stigmatization Questionnaire. Additionally, they responded to a survey crafted by the authors, which included inquiries about their sociodemographic details (such as gender, age, residence, marital status, education, and employment) and specifics about their condition (like the location of psoriatic lesions and the duration since their psoriasis diagnosis).
