Abstract

Objective. Interventions that effectively address HIV-related stigma are urgently needed to improve outcomes for adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV). We piloted a series of 4 short narrative films depicting Kenyan ALHIV's lived experiences of stigma and discrimination with 57 ALHIV and 50 adult caregivers of ALHIV in western Kenya. Methods. Participants completed either pre- and post-viewing questionnaires, including an HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination scale, or participated in post-viewing focus group discussions. Three-month follow-up visits were conducted. Results. Caregivers endorsed significantly greater disagreement with stigmatizing statements on the scale at 3-month follow-up, whereas adolescents had no significant differences in scores. Participants reported they believed the films would have a positive impact on their communities and had led to changes in their own attitudes, beliefs and/or behavior. Conclusion. The HIV Stigma Films may show promise as an intervention to reduce stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs about HIV-infection, especially among caregivers of ALHIV.

在肯尼亚西部使用叙事电影消除与艾滋病相关的污名化:对感染艾滋病毒的青少年及其护理人员的探索性试点研究。
目的。为改善青少年艾滋病病毒感染者(ALHIV)的治疗效果,迫切需要有效解决与艾滋病相关的污名化问题的干预措施。我们在肯尼亚西部对 57 名 ALHIV 和 50 名 ALHIV 的成年照顾者试用了 4 部描述肯尼亚 ALHIV 遭受污名化和歧视的生活经历的叙事短片。方法。参与者填写了观影前和观影后的调查问卷,包括与艾滋病相关的羞辱和歧视量表,或参加了观影后的焦点小组讨论。进行了为期三个月的随访。结果显示在三个月的随访中,护理人员对量表中污名化陈述的不同意程度明显更高,而青少年的得分则没有明显差异。参与者表示,他们相信电影会对他们的社区产生积极影响,并促使他们改变自己的态度、信念和/或行为。结论艾滋病耻辱化电影作为一种干预措施,可能会减少人们对艾滋病感染的耻辱化态度和观念,尤其是在 ALHIV 的照顾者中。
