As India progresses towards TB elimination five years ahead of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Community-based perceptions of tuberculosis stigma become particularly relevant in the context of TB elimination efforts. This study aims to assess the cross-cultural reliability of 'Community Perspectives Van Rie TB Stigma Scale' which can been used for screening and rapid evaluation of prevalent stigma themes in community.
A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in North India among 400 TB survivors to assess the cross-cultural reliability of 'Community Perspective Van Rie TB stigma Scale'. Cronbach Alpha and McDonald's Omega were used for reliability analysis.
Cronbach ɑ value for the Van Rie TB Stigma Scale was 0.826 and McDonald's ω is 0.832 indicative of good reliability of the TB Stigma Scale.
The study is one the first studies to assess the cross-cultural reliability of Community Perspective of Van Rie TB Stigma Score in India. The reliability analysis indicates that the 'Community Perspectives Van Rie TB Stigma Scale' can be used in the Indian settings for screening of TB associated stigma.
随着印度在可持续发展目标（SDG）之前提前五年迈向结核病消除目标，基于社区的结核病耻辱感观念在结核病消除工作中变得尤为重要。本研究旨在评估可用于筛查和快速评估社区中普遍存在的耻辱主题的“社区视角范里结核病耻辱量表”的跨文化可靠性。
在印度北部进行了一项基于社区的横断面研究，共有 400 名结核病幸存者参与，以评估“社区视角范里结核病耻辱量表”的跨文化可靠性。采用克朗巴赫 α 和麦克唐纳 ω 进行可靠性分析。
范里结核病耻辱量表的克朗巴赫 α 值为 0.826，麦克唐纳 ω 值为 0.832，表明结核病耻辱量表具有良好的可靠性。
这项研究是评估印度社区视角范里结核病耻辱感评分的跨文化可靠性的首批研究之一。可靠性分析表明，“社区视角范里结核病耻辱量表”可用于印度的结核病相关耻辱筛查。
