结核病污名被认为是一个模糊的概念，因为它不容易评估。本文的目的是审查评估结核病污名的方法学途径。我们回顾了已发表的研究和灰色文献。我们还介绍了结核病污名的定性和定量评估的主要特点，这是在尼加拉瓜的一个具体项目中完成的。作为一个整体，我们说明了各种结核病的耻辱的领域，后果，决定因素和使用的方法;一些功能出现的频率比其他的研究。然而，审查的结果表明，结核病污名评估的经验相对缺乏，主要是在看结核病患者的后果和使用定量方法和量表。需要在不同情况下进行更多的评估研究，以便在组织对结核病患者的护理时将污名问题视为一个优先事项。
Tuberculosis (TB) stigma is considered a vague concept, because it is not easily assessed. The purpose of this article is to review methodological approaches for assessing TB stigma. We reviewed the published studies and the gray literature. We also present the main features of a qualitative and quantitative assessment of TB stigma, which has been done in one specific project in Nicaragua. As a whole, we illustrate the variety of TB stigma in terms of domains, consequences, determinants and methods used; some features emerge more frequently than others from the studies. However, results of the review show a relative scarcity of the TB stigma assessment experiences, mainly in looking at the consequences for the TB patient and in the use of quantitative methods and scales. Additional assessment studies in diverse contexts are needed so that stigma will be considered a priority in the organization of care for people affected by tuberculosis.
