This study aimed to examine the scales developed and adapted for stigma in Turkey in terms of their suitability for the development and adaptation stages. In this study, 27 studies prepared within the scope of scale development were examined. The sample size of the examined scales varies between 95-1100 people. The majority of the scales have three factors (40.7%) and the number of items varies between 9-53. The Likert type used in the answers to the scales is five in most (51.8%). Content validity was not mentioned in 10 of the scales. Explanatory factor analysis was included in all studies, but confirmatory factor analysis was not mentioned in 4 studies. Test-retest method correlations were found to be above 0.70 in 6 studies. In addition, the parallel testing method was used in 8 studies. Cronbachs alpha coefficient varies between 0.710-0.965 in all scales. Additionally, in some studies, split-half analyses were conducted using Spearman-Brown (13 scales) and Guttman (7 scales) tests as determinants of internal consistency. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient and Bartletts test of sphericity were measured on all scales except one study. As a result, although the scales generally meet some qualifications in terms of validity and reliability, standards need to be increased.
