This study aimed at identifying the level of HIV-related discriminatory attitudes and related factors in a purposively-selected sample of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Bangladesh. In total, 526 HCWs from a number of hospitals and healthcare centres were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. A moderate level of discriminatory attitudes was observed. The factors associated with a high level of such attitudes among the HCWs were: high level of irrational fear about HIV and AIDS; working in teaching hospital rather than in non-teaching hospital and diagnostic centres; low level of education; and being male. The results indicate that programmes to reduce irrational fear about transmission of HIV are urgently needed.
本研究旨在确定在孟加拉国通过目的抽样选取的医护人员样本中与艾滋病毒相关的歧视态度水平及相关因素。总共使用结构化问卷对来自多家医院和医疗中心的526名医护人员进行了访谈。观察到存在中等程度的歧视态度。医护人员中与这种高度歧视态度相关的因素有:对艾滋病毒和艾滋病的非理性恐惧程度高;在教学医院而非非教学医院和诊断中心工作;教育水平低;以及为男性。结果表明,迫切需要开展减少对艾滋病毒传播的非理性恐惧的项目。
