A community-based participatory research study was conducted using focus groups with 39 women living with AIDS (WLA) in the rural setting of Andhra Pradesh, India. In addition, three nurses, two physicians, and five reproductive health accredited social health activists (ASHAs) took part in focus groups. The WLA offered insight into the benefits of HIV-trained ASHAs including emotional support, assistance with travel to health care providers and antiretroviral therapy medication adherence. Health care providers also identified benefits of using HIV-trained ASHAs and suggested modalities for how to train these individuals. These findings will contribute to the design of a future program of care involving HIV-trained ASHAs.
在印度安得拉邦农村地区，对39名感染艾滋病的女性开展了一项基于社区的参与式研究，采用了焦点小组访谈法。此外，三名护士、两名医生和五名经认可的生殖健康领域社会健康活动家（ASHAs）参与了焦点小组访谈。感染艾滋病的女性深入探讨了接受过艾滋病培训的ASHAs所带来的益处，包括情感支持、协助前往医疗服务提供者处就医以及坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗用药。医疗服务提供者也明确了使用接受过艾滋病培训的ASHAs的益处，并就如何培训这些人员提出了方式方法。这些研究结果将有助于设计未来一项涉及接受过艾滋病培训的ASHAs的护理项目。
