The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the extent to which demographic characteristics, stigma, and social support impact the self-management abilities of individuals with bipolar disorder in remission. Participants (N = 114) completed a demographic questionnaire, Self-Stigma Scale-Short Form, Social Support Rating Scale, and Self-Management Scale for Patients With Bipolar Disor-der. Mean scores were 60.65 (SD = 10.42) for self-management, 35.76 (SD = 7.14) for social support, and 21.38 (SD = 5.06) for stigma. In the univariate analysis, age educational level, method of payment for care, illness duration, and number of hospitalizations demonstrated significant associations with self-management (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between self-manage-ment and social support (r = 0.574, p < 0.01) and negative correlations between self-management and stigma (r = -0.489, p < 0.01) and stigma and social support (r= -0.476, p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis included number of hospitalizations (B = -3.818), social support (B = 0.436), literacy (B = 2.132), and stigma (B = -0.397). Individuals in remission from bipolar disorder exhibit moderate levels of self-management. Follow-up interventions should prioritize enhancing social support and addressing stigma to promote improved self-management and overall well-being.
