Psychometric properties of an 18-item HIV felt stigma questionnaire were evaluated utilizing data collected from a diverse ethnic and socioeconomic group of 370 people living with HIV/AIDS and receiving HIV/AIDS-related health services at an HIV clinic in Kenya. Factor analyses revealed a four factor solution (public attitudes, ostracize, discrimination, personal life disrupted) based on the Scree plot with explained variance of 44% that had Eigen values greater than 1.00. The retained felt stigma items revealed a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.828, while the four factors had coefficient alphas ranging from 0.675 to 0.799. The adapted retained questionnaire was deemed a practical guide for measuring felt stigma in a Kenyan cultural context to necessitate provision of the most effective HIV-related mental health services to individuals living with HIV in Kenya.
利用从肯尼亚一家艾滋病病毒诊所接受艾滋病病毒/艾滋病相关卫生服务的 370 名不同种族和社会经济群体的患者收集的数据，评估了一个 18 项艾滋病毒耻辱感问卷的心理计量学特性。基于碎石图的因子分析显示，有 4 个因子（公众态度、排斥、歧视、个人生活混乱）的解决方案，解释方差为 44%，特征值大于 1.00。保留的耻辱感项目显示克朗巴赫的α系数为 0.828，而 4 个因子的系数α值范围在 0.675 到 0.799 之间。适应后的保留问卷被认为是在肯尼亚文化背景下衡量耻辱感的实用指南，有必要为肯尼亚的艾滋病毒感染者提供最有效的与艾滋病毒相关的心理健康服务。
