    Introducción: los estudios sobre el estigma internalizado en personas con consumo exclusivo de cocaína son escasos. Objetivo: explorar los factores relacionados con el estigma internalizado en personas con uso exclusivo o preferente de cocaína en Colombia. Método: Estudio transversal con adultos diagnosticados con trastorno por consumo de cocaína. Se aplicó la escala Estigma Internalizado de Enfermedad Mental adaptada para usuarios de sustancias psicoactivas, el cuestionario AWARE 3.0 para evaluar el riesgo de recaída, la escala para la severidad de la dependencia y el cuestionario PHQ-9 para síntomas depresivos. Se realizó análisis descriptivo y correlacional. Resultados: Participaron 102 adultos entre 18 y 58 años (M=29,9; DE=9,9). Se encontró una correlación directa entre el estigma internalizado y el riesgo de recaída (rs=0,55; p<0,001), los síntomas depresivos clínicamente significativos (rs=0,45; p<0,001) y la severidad de la dependencia (rp= 0,38; p<0,000). Conclusión: el estigma internalizado entre los usuarios de cocaína se correlaciona con el riesgo de recaída, síntomas depresivos y severidad de la dependencia.

    Introduction: Studies on internalized stigma in people with exclusive cocaine use are scarce. Objective: This study aimed to explore factors related to internalized stigma in people with exclusive or preferred cocaine use in Colombia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of adults diagnosed with cocaine use disorder. The Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness scale adapted for psychoactive substance users, AWARE 3.0 questionnaire to assess the risk of relapse, SDS scale for the severity of dependence, and PHQ-9 questionnaire for depressive symptoms were applied. Descriptive and correlational analysis was performed. Results: It participated in 102 adults between 18 and 58 years (M=29.9, SD=9.9). A direct correlation was found between internalized stigma and the risk of relapse (rs=0.55, p<0.001), clinically significant depressive symptoms (rs=0.45, p<0.001), and severity of dependence (rp=0.38, p<0.001). Conclusion: Internalized stigma among cocaine users is related with the risk of relapse, depressive symptoms, and severity of dependence.
