Previous research suggests that people living with HIV (PLWH) sometimes internalize HIV-related stigma existing in the community and experience feelings of inferiority and shame due to their HIV status, which can have negative consequences for treatment adherence. PLWH's interpersonal concerns about how their HIV status may affect the security of their existing relationships may help explain how internalized stigma affects adherence behaviors. In a cross-sectional study conducted between March 2013 and January 2015 in Birmingham, AL, 180 PLWH recruited from an outpatient HIV clinic completed previously validated measures of internalized stigma, attachment styles, and concern about being seen while taking HIV medication. Participants also self-reported their HIV medication adherence. Higher levels of HIV-related internalized stigma, attachment-related anxiety (i.e., fear of abandonment by relationship partners), and concerns about being seen by others while taking HIV medication were all associated with worse medication adherence. The effect of HIV-related internalized stigma on medication adherence was mediated by attachment-related anxiety and by concerns about being seen by others while taking HIV medication. Given that medication adherence is vitally important for PLWH to achieve long-term positive health outcomes, understanding interpersonal factors affecting medication adherence is crucial. Interventions aimed at improving HIV treatment adherence should address interpersonal factors as well as intrapersonal factors.
先前的研究表明,感染艾滋病毒的人(PLWH)有时会将社区中存在的与艾滋病毒相关的污名内化,并因自身的艾滋病毒感染状况而产生自卑和羞耻感,这可能对治疗依从性产生负面影响。PLWH对其艾滋病毒感染状况可能如何影响现有关系安全性的人际担忧,可能有助于解释内化污名如何影响依从行为。在2013年3月至2015年1月于阿拉巴马州伯明翰市进行的一项横断面研究中,从一家门诊艾滋病毒诊所招募的180名PLWH完成了先前经过验证的内化污名、依恋风格以及对服用艾滋病毒药物时被他人看到的担忧的测量。参与者还自我报告了他们的艾滋病毒药物依从性。更高水平的与艾滋病毒相关的内化污名、与依恋相关的焦虑(即害怕被关系伴侣抛弃)以及对服用艾滋病毒药物时被他人看到的担忧,均与更差的药物依从性相关。与艾滋病毒相关的内化污名对药物依从性的影响是由与依恋相关的焦虑以及对服用艾滋病毒药物时被他人看到的担忧介导的。鉴于药物依从性对于PLWH实现长期良好健康结果至关重要,了解影响药物依从性的人际因素至关重要。旨在提高艾滋病毒治疗依从性的干预措施应同时解决人际因素和个人内在因素。
