Abstract

Although there has been progress in AIDS stigma research, there are no multi-item AIDS stigma scales that have been shown reliable and valid in Africa. The current research reports the development of the nine-item AIDS-Related Stigma Scale. Research conducted in five South African communities (N = 2306) found the scale internally consistent, alpha = 0.75 and time stable over 3 months, r = 0.67. The scale was also reliable in three different languages (English, Xhosa, and Afrikaans). Correlations showed that the AIDS-Related Stigma Scale was moderately inversely correlated with years of education and AIDS knowledge. In addition, individuals who stated that HIV positive persons should conceal their HIV status had higher AIDS-Related Stigma Scale scores. Also supporting the scale's construct validity, individuals who refused to report whether they had been tested for HIV scored higher on the AIDS-Related Stigma Scale.

摘要

尽管在艾滋病污名研究方面已取得进展，但在非洲尚无已证明可靠且有效的多项目艾滋病污名量表。当前研究报告了九项目艾滋病相关污名量表的编制情况。在南非五个社区开展的研究（N = 2306）发现该量表具有内部一致性，α系数为0.75，且在3个月内具有时间稳定性，r = 0.67。该量表在三种不同语言（英语、科萨语和南非荷兰语）中也具有可靠性。相关性分析表明，艾滋病相关污名量表与受教育年限和艾滋病知识呈中度负相关。此外，那些表示艾滋病毒呈阳性者应隐瞒其艾滋病毒感染状况的个体，其艾滋病相关污名量表得分更高。同样支持该量表的结构效度的是，那些拒绝报告自己是否接受过艾滋病毒检测的个体，在艾滋病相关污名量表上得分更高。
