Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) adversely affects psychological and physical well-being, so that
months after a person is considered cured of the disease, it is still possible to find changes in
health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The objective was to summarize the scientific evidence
in order to identify the types of HRQoL measurement instruments that are available for
individuals cured of PTB. This study is a scoping review developed using the JBI Collaboration
methodology and reported following the PRISMA-ScR. Studies carried out with participants
cured of PTB aged ≥18 years, who assessed HRQoL regardless of the measurement instrument
used, carried out in any geographic, socioeconomic and clinical context, published and
unpublished, without time or language restriction were considered. The search strategy
considered published and unpublished studies through the information sources CINAHL,
EMBASE, LILACS (via VHL), MEDLINE (via PubMed), PEDro, SciELO, Scopus, Web of
Science, Cybertesis, NDLTD and Google Scholar. Studies were selected on the Rayyan
platform by two independent reviewers. Data were extracted using a data extraction form
prepared by the reviewers themselves. Twelve studies were selected from 1644 records initially
found, with a total of 2307 participants and age range from 25 to 70 years. In conclusion, the
most used HRQoL measurement instrument was the Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire
(SGRQ), with the percentage of HRQoL change after PTB between 18 and 86%.
