This study aimed to assess the level of HIV treatment knowledge, empathy, and HIV stigma of pharmacy students and pharmacists working with patients as well as potential factors associated with stigma. This survey included 250 hospital pharmacists within 33 provinces and 1013 final-year pharmacy students from Java, the most populated island in Indonesia. The data were collected via Qualtrics® and distributed by WhatsApp. The mean age of the participants was (Mean ± SD) 24.68 ± 5.30 years, and 80.0% were female. The mean knowledge score of students and pharmacists were 14.14 ± 2.01 and 15.39 ± 1.87, respectively, out of the maximum score of 21. The mean empathy score of students and pharmacists was 72.06 ± 5.39 and 77.40 ± 1.35, respectively out of the maximum score of 105. The mean stigma score of students and pharmacists was 21.02 ± 4.65 and 20.66 ± 4.41, respectively, out of a maximum score of 48. Regression analysis showed that knowledge, empathy, and willingness to counsel patients were negatively associated with stigma. Working with patients was positively associated with stigma. A multi-level intervention including education may reduce stigma and strengthen the role of pharmacists in caring for patients.
本研究旨在评估医学生和与患者一起工作的药剂师的 HIV 治疗知识、同理心和 HIV 耻辱感水平，以及与耻辱感相关的潜在因素。这项调查包括 33 个省的 250 名医院药剂师和来自印度尼西亚人口最多的爪哇岛的 1013 名药学专业应届毕业生。数据通过 Qualtrics®收集并通过 WhatsApp 分发。参与者的平均年龄为（Mean ± SD）24.68 ± 5.30 岁，80.0%为女性。学生和药剂师的平均知识得分为 14.14 ± 2.01 和 15.39 ± 1.87，满分为 21 分。学生和药剂师的平均同理心得分为 72.06 ± 5.39 和 77.40 ± 1.35，满分为 105 分。学生和药剂师的平均耻辱感得分为 21.02 ± 4.65 和 20.66 ± 4.41，满分为 48 分。回归分析表明，知识、同理心和愿意为患者提供咨询与耻辱感呈负相关。与患者一起工作与耻辱感呈正相关。包括教育在内的多层次干预措施可能会降低耻辱感，并加强药剂师在照顾患者方面的作用。
