[Abstract] Objective To discuss the status and influencing factors of stigma of depression patients. Methods A total of 100 patients with depression from July 2018 to July 2020 were selected as the research objects. The "Depression Stigma Scale (DSS)" was used to assess the status of patients stigma. The differences in DSS scores of patients with different clinical data such as gender, age, and residence were investigated. The influencing factors of stigma of patients with depression was investigated using multiple linear regression analysis. Results A total of 92 valid questionnaires were returned from 100 patients, with a recovery rate of 92.00%. DSS score (42.12±6.91) points. There were statistically significant differences in the DSS scores of patients with different ages, places of residence, level of social support, number of acute attacks, course of disease, discrimination experience, education level, and living conditions (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in different genders and employment status (P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that living conditions, education level, number of acute attacks, duration of illness, discrimination experience, and place of residence are the influencing factors of stigma of depression patients. Conclusion Patients with depression have a moderate level of stigma, which is affected by factors such as residence, education level, and number of acute attacks. Clinical interventions should be taken to reduce the level of stigma in patients.
