Abstract

Abstract Aim The uptake of the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services is predictive of HIV transmission; however, many barriers limit pregnant women living with HIV from this uptake. This study, therefore, aimed to explore some barriers to PMTCT services uptake among pregnant women living with HIV. Methods A qualitative interview design was employed with pregnant women living with HIV, their husbands or relatives, and service providers in two Nigerian health facilities. Thirty-five participants were individually interviewed until data saturation occurred, and the data were thematically analyzed. Results Five barriers to PMTCT services uptake were found - “fear of stigmatization,” “poor support from family,” “conflict between attending to social role demands and PMTCT programs,” “financial and time cost to health facilities,” and “poor service provider-patient interaction.” Conclusion These data contribute to informing targeted interventions that strengthen the uptake of PMTCT services among HIV-positive pregnant women.
感染艾滋病毒的孕妇接受预防母婴传播服务的障碍:一项定性研究
摘要目的预防母婴传播艾滋病毒(PMTCT)服务的采用可预测艾滋病毒传播;然而,许多障碍限制了感染艾滋病毒的孕妇服用这种药物。因此,本研究旨在探讨感染艾滋病毒的孕妇接受预防母婴传播服务的一些障碍。方法采用质性访谈设计,对尼日利亚两家卫生机构的艾滋病毒感染孕妇、其丈夫或亲属以及服务提供者进行调查。对35名参与者进行单独访谈,直到数据饱和,并对数据进行主题分析。结果发现了预防母婴传播服务接受的五大障碍:“害怕污名化”、“家庭支持不足”、“关注社会角色需求与预防母婴传播项目之间的冲突”、“卫生机构的财务和时间成本”以及“服务提供者与患者的互动不足”。结论这些数据有助于为有针对性的干预措施提供信息,加强艾滋病毒阳性孕妇对预防母婴传播服务的接受。
