Patients with HIV/AIDS are likely to have numerous interactions with health care providers (HCPs) during the course of their disease. Research has shown that satisfaction with one's HCP is related to better medication adherence in patients with HIV/AIDS. Although a patient's attitude toward his or her HCP is important, little has been done to assess how it relates to appointment attendance. The current study assessed how attitudes toward HCPs as well as social support and depression relate to outpatient appointment attendance. Further, this study used a newly developed, psychometrically valid scale to assess specific patient attitudes toward HCPs including those related to disease stigma. Participants were predominantly low-income African American men (N = 109) recruited from a public southern HIV clinic. Analyses indicated that attitudes toward HIV HCPs, social support, and medication status but not depression or satisfaction with social support were associated with appointment attendance.
感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的患者在患病过程中可能会与医疗服务提供者（HCPs）进行多次接触。研究表明，艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者对其医疗服务提供者的满意度与更好的药物依从性相关。虽然患者对其医疗服务提供者的态度很重要，但在评估这种态度与预约就诊率之间的关系方面做得很少。当前的研究评估了对医疗服务提供者的态度以及社会支持和抑郁与门诊预约就诊率之间的关系。此外，本研究使用了一种新开发的、心理测量有效的量表来评估患者对医疗服务提供者的特定态度，包括与疾病耻辱感相关的态度。参与者主要是从南方一家公共艾滋病毒诊所招募的低收入非裔美国男性（N = 109）。分析表明，对艾滋病毒医疗服务提供者的态度、社会支持和用药状况与预约就诊率相关，但抑郁或对社会支持的满意度则不然。
