Abstract

Introduction: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) non-adherence has been found increasingly prevalent in Thailand. The Islamic belief system is seldom utilized to support ART adherence. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility of an integrated Islamic-based intervention program to promote ART adherence among Muslim patients with HIV/AIDS and inconsistent ART adherence in southern Thailand.

Method: An action research with a collaboration concept was utilized. In-depth interviews with ten patients and five health care providers were undertaken alongside participant observations. The program approaches were developed, comprising health education to address knowledge gaps and misunderstandings, motivation raising to strengthen patients' resolve during lengthy drug-taking periods, practice-based workshops, including follow-up and phone-call visits.

Results: A qualitative audit demonstrated an ART adherence improvement. Stakeholders' satisfaction was expressed with the program components and activities.

Discussion: Involving with Islamic doctrines could well support HIV-care services and increase patients' motivation in their lifelong ART adherence.

综合伊斯兰教义促进泰国南部穆斯林患者抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性：行动研究。

引言：抗逆转录病毒治疗（ART）不依从性在泰国越来越普遍。很少利用伊斯兰信仰体系来支持坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗。本研究旨在制定和评估一项基于伊斯兰教的综合干预计划的可行性，以促进泰国南部穆斯林艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗和不一致的抗逆转录病毒治疗。方法：采用以协作为理念的行动研究方法。与10名患者和5名保健提供者进行了深入访谈，并进行了参与者观察。制定了方案办法，包括解决知识差距和误解的健康教育、提高动机以加强患者在漫长服药期间的决心、以实践为基础的讲习班，包括后续随访和电话访问。结果：定性审计显示ART依从性改善。涉众对项目组成部分和活动表示满意。讨论：参与伊斯兰教义可以很好地支持艾滋病毒护理服务，并增加患者终身坚持抗逆转录病毒治疗的动力。
