This study aims to systematically review the conceptual connotation, measurement tools, influencing factors, and intervention strategies for stigma in burn patients, analyze the limitations of existing research, and provide directions for clinical practice and future studies. A computerized search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and SinoMed for relevant studies on stigma in burn patients. The search period spanned from the establishment of each database to July 1, 2025. The included literature was summarized and analyzed. A total of 960 articles were retrieved, with 31 ultimately included. Commonly used measurement tools include the Perceived Stigma Questionnaire (PSQ), Social Comfort Questionnaire (SCQ), and Social Impact Scale (SIS). Influencing factors involve individual characteristics, disease-related factors, psychological factors, and insufficient social support. Intervention strategies encompass multidimensional approaches based on theories such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and multidisciplinary rehabilitation care. Current research on stigma in burn patients has limitations in the localization of measurement tools, exploration of mechanisms, and optimization of intervention programs. Future efforts should focus on the development of burn-specific scales, longitudinal causal studies, and high-quality evidence-based interventions to refine theoretical frameworks and guide clinical practice.
