Felt or perceived learner needs are what the individuals or the group have identified as what they want to learn, and these needs are determined by their knowledge, attitudes, experience and where they work (what the students think they want to learn).
Felt stigma was assessed by three-item stigma scale which is validated at Zambia and comprised of dichotomous questions in which a positive response is indicative of felt or perceived stigma with an overall possible score ranging from 0 (no felt stigma) to 3 (maximally felt stigma) [ 20].
Felt stigma may be thought of as encompassing elements of both perceived and self stigma.
Affective valence and perceived activation were measured with the Feeling Scale and the Felt Arousal Scale, respectively.
We found that proprioceptive input (that is, the subject's "felt position") had a significant influence on mental rotation whereas the visually perceived posture of the hand did not.
Scales measuring perceived TB stigma, experienced/felt TB stigma, and perceived AIDS stigma were administered to patients with TB.
The perceived or 'felt' security is a non-standardised scale adapted from Schofields' framework of a sense of belonging and felt security [[ 26]; also see Table S1; additional file 1].
Three separate multivariable linear regressions were performed among patients with TB (perceived and experience/felt stigma) and community members (community stigma) to determine which factors were associated with higher mean TB stigma scores.
On the TB stigma scales, 14 (2.9%) and 20 (4.2%) patients were excluded from the perceived stigma and experienced/felt stigma scale analyses, respectively, due to missing item responses.
Few factors had consistent MDs in stigma scores for both the perceived TB stigma and experienced/felt TB stigma scales.. Older age (0.66; 0.22, 1.11 per 10 year increase) and Muslim religion (-1.37; 95% CI: -2.32, -0.42) were both associated with perceived TB stigma, while being female (-0.80; 95% CI: -1.67, 0.07) was only associated with experienced/felt TB stigma.
