OBJECTIVE
To evaluate HIV/AIDS training for traditional healers (THs) in far western Nepal.
METHODS
We collected data using a structured questionnaire and assessed THs' knowledge of HIV transmission, misconceptions and preventive measures immediately prior to the initial training conducted from June to December 1999, and then 9-12 months after the training in 2000. We also conducted six focus group discussions (FGD) and assessed THs' performances after the training. We interviewed 12 key informants about their perceptions towards the trained THs.
RESULTS
THs significantly improved their knowledge of HIV transmission, misconceptions and preventive measures after the training. The FGD and key informant interview results showed that the trained THs provided culturally acceptable HIV/AIDS education to the local people, distributed condoms and played a role in reducing the HIV/AIDS-related stigma.
CONCLUSIONS
THs have a potential to work as key players in HIV/AIDS programmes in Nepal.
目的
评估尼泊尔远西部传统治疗师的艾滋病毒/艾滋病培训情况。
方法
我们使用结构化问卷收集数据，并在1999年6月至12月进行初始培训之前，以及2000年培训后的9至12个月，评估传统治疗师对艾滋病毒传播、误解和预防措施的了解情况。我们还进行了六次焦点小组讨论，并在培训后评估传统治疗师的表现。我们采访了12名关键信息提供者，了解他们对接受培训的传统治疗师的看法。
结果
培训后，传统治疗师对艾滋病毒传播、误解和预防措施的了解有了显著提高。焦点小组讨论和关键信息提供者访谈结果表明，接受培训的传统治疗师为当地民众提供了符合文化习惯的艾滋病毒/艾滋病教育，分发了避孕套，并在减少与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的耻辱感方面发挥了作用。
结论
在尼泊尔的艾滋病毒/艾滋病项目中，传统治疗师有潜力成为关键角色。
