Polish adaptation of the Self-Stigma of Stuttering Scale: Scale development and analysis
The study findings align with previous assessments and adaptations, suggesting the 4S can reliably be used in the Polish context. As the field of speech and language therapy in Poland is increasingly more concerned with the internal feelings and emotions of people who stutter rather than solely focusing on treatment of physical speech disruption, an assessment of self-stigma is an important addition to the speech-language pathologists' toolkit.
