Abstract
Factors associated with HIV-related stigma in health care in China
L. Li1, Z.Y. Wu2, S. Wu1, M. Jia3
Background:
We examined how individual and institutional factors in healthcare settings affected discrimination toward persons with HIV/AIDS.
Methods:
A representative sample of 1101 Chinese service providers was recruited, including doctors, nurses, and lab technicians. Multiple regression models were used to describe associations among identified variables, the relationships with HIV-related personal prejudicial attitudes, and perceived institutional support and discrimination at work.
Results:
Multivariate analyses revealed that service providers’ general view of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their perceived levels of support from their institutions regarding protection procedures were both important predictors for discrimination intent. Perceptions of institutional support varied according to age, gender, ethnicity, and training background.
Conclusions:
A better understanding of HIV-related discrimination in healthcare settings requires consideration of both individual and institutional factors.
