Abstract

Background: Our study aimed to determine the role of sociodemographic characteristics on self-stigma among young men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted from August-November 2022. Participants were recruited from outpatient clinics at Dr. Sardjito, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The Indonesian version of the Berger HIV Stigma Scale measured self-stigma. The statistical analysis utilized a 95% confidence level and determined significance by p-values <0.05.

Results: 72 young MSM were enrolled and completed questionnaires assessing sociodemographic and self-stigma. The average self-stigma score was 98.97. Education level was significantly associated with severe self-stigma in the bivariate analysis (p < .05). In the multivariate analysis, those with higher levels of education were significantly more likely to experience severe self-stigma (r = 2.938, p < .05). Employment status, family support, and education level were significantly associated with increased concerns in the disclosure, negative self-image, and public attitudes subscales (all p < .05).

Conclusions: The results demonstrate associations between sociodemographic and self-stigma levels among young MSM living with HIV in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Further research regarding the educational level, employment status, and family support that can influence the perception and quality of life of PLHIV may need to be carried out.

印度尼西亚日惹感染艾滋病毒的年轻男男性行为者的社会人口特征对自我污名化的影响：横断面研究。

研究背景我们的研究旨在确定印度尼西亚日惹感染艾滋病毒的年轻男男性行为者（MSM）的社会人口特征对自我污名的影响：这项横断面观察研究于 2022 年 8 月至 11 月进行。研究人员从印度尼西亚日惹市萨吉托医生门诊部招募。印尼版伯杰艾滋病耻辱感量表测量自我耻辱感。统计分析采用 95% 的置信水平，并通过 p 值确定显著性：72 名年轻男男性行为者参加了调查，并填写了评估社会人口学和自我污名的问卷。平均自我污名化得分为 98.97 分。在二元分析中，教育水平与严重的自我污名化有明显的相关性（p < .05）。在多元分析中，受教育程度越高的人越有可能遭受严重的自我污名化（r = 2.938，p < .05）。就业状况、家庭支持和教育水平与披露、负面自我形象和公众态度分量表中的关注度增加有显著相关性（均 p < .05）：研究结果表明，印尼日惹感染艾滋病病毒的年轻男男性行为者的社会人口学和自我污名化水平之间存在关联。有关教育水平、就业状况和家庭支持的进一步研究可能会影响艾滋病毒感染者的认知和生活质量。
