Few studies have examined the independent effects of different manifestations of HIV stigma experiences on health outcomes among youth living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries. We examined the association of internalized, enacted, and perceived HIV stigmas with medication adherence, self-esteem, depression, and barriers to adherence. Young people living with HIV aged 18-21 years ( = 120) were purposively sampled from two health facilities in Eastern Province, Zambia, and completed self-report measures. Results indicated heterogeneous associations. Internalized HIV stigma was positively associated with depression and negatively associated with adherence, adherence motivation, behavioral adherence skills, and self-esteem. Perceived stigma was negatively associated with self-esteem. No significant association was observed between enacted stigma and health outcomes. The complexity of HIV stigma requires a precise explication of the associations among different HIV stigma experiences and outcomes, which can inform the development of stigma reduction interventions targeting one or more stigma experiences.
很少有研究考察在低收入和中等收入国家中,感染艾滋病毒的青少年所经历的不同形式的艾滋病毒污名化对健康结果的独立影响。我们研究了内化污名、遭受的污名和感知到的艾滋病毒污名与药物依从性、自尊、抑郁以及依从性障碍之间的关联。从赞比亚东部省的两个医疗机构中,有目的地抽取了18至21岁的120名感染艾滋病毒的年轻人,并让他们完成了自我报告测量。结果显示出不同的关联。内化的艾滋病毒污名与抑郁呈正相关,与依从性、依从动机、行为依从技能和自尊呈负相关。感知到的污名与自尊呈负相关。在遭受的污名与健康结果之间未观察到显著关联。艾滋病毒污名的复杂性需要对不同的艾滋病毒污名经历与结果之间的关联进行精确阐释,这可为针对一种或多种污名经历的减少污名干预措施的制定提供信息。
