Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the maturity level of stigma as a concept in nursing and its relationship to care provided for patients with cancer. Methods: The four principles of Morse and his colleagues were used to evaluate the maturity level of the stigma concept: epistemological, logical, pragmaticl, and linguistic. Analysis was conducted with the literature published between 2006 and 2016. Results: The findings of this study suggest that the concept of stigma in nursing is immature, defined inconsistently, and measured with different instruments. How stigma is defined can influence nurses in their assessment of patients with cancer and identification of their needs. Conclusion: Although extensive studies have been conducted in the field of mental illness, it is only recently that the effect of stigma on treatment of cancer patients has attracted attention. Thus, substantial work yet needs to be done to understand the breadth and scope of stigma impacting on individuals with cancer.
本研究旨在评估护理领域中作为一个概念的污名化的成熟度水平及其与为癌症患者提供的护理之间的关系。方法：采用莫尔斯及其同事的四项原则来评估污名化概念的成熟度水平：认识论的、逻辑的、实用主义的和语言的。对2006年至2016年发表的文献进行了分析。结果：本研究结果表明，护理领域中的污名化概念不成熟，定义不一致，且用不同的工具进行测量。污名化的定义方式会影响护士对癌症患者的评估及其需求的识别。结论：尽管在精神疾病领域已经进行了广泛的研究，但直到最近，污名化对癌症患者治疗的影响才引起关注。因此，在理解影响癌症患者的污名化的广度和范围方面，仍有大量工作要做。
