Abstract

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has become a major health challenge in recent decades. Poor health knowledge can lead to the faster transmission of HIV in the community. This study aimed to investigate the association of social capital and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) health literacy with AIDS risk perception in Iranian adolescents. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 354 high school students of Kermanshah city, the west part of Iran, selected by multi-stage sampling method. Respondents filled out social capital, HIV/AIDS health literacy, and AIDS risk perception questionnaires. Data were analyzed by SPSS-18 using Pearson correlation, regression, ANOVA, and independent t-tests. Results: The mean age of respondents was 17.02 ± 0.84 years. The results of independent t-test showed that girls had more scores in family social capital (p = 0.009) and school social capital domains (p = 0.001).There were a moderate and significant correlations between AIDS health literacy with family social capital (r = 0.178; p = 0.001) and AIDS risk perception (r = 0.317; p = 0.009). Also, regression analysis showed that 12.1% of variations in AIDS risk perception were explained by several variables of the study. Conclusions: Considering the relationship between AIDS health literacy and social capital with AIDS risk perception, it can be concluded that the increased power of visual and written analysis and understanding of adolescents, along with cohesion, respect, trust, and mutual understanding in the family, can be a protective factor against HIV disease.

社会资本、艾滋病健康素养与青少年艾滋病风险认知的关系
近几十年来,人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染已成为一个重大的健康挑战。卫生知识贫乏可能导致艾滋病毒在社区中传播得更快。本研究旨在探讨社会资本、获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)健康素养与伊朗青少年艾滋病风险认知的关系。材料与方法:采用多阶段抽样方法,选取伊朗西部克尔曼沙赫市354名高中生进行横断面研究。受访者填写了社会资本、艾滋病毒/艾滋病健康素养和艾滋病风险认知问卷。数据采用SPSS-18分析,采用Pearson相关、回归、方差分析和独立t检验。结果:被调查者的平均年龄为17.02±0.84岁。独立t检验结果显示,女孩在家庭社会资本(p = 0.009)和学校社会资本(p = 0.001)领域得分较高。艾滋病健康素养与家庭社会资本存在中度显著相关(r = 0.178;p = 0.001)和艾滋病风险认知(r = 0.317;P = 0.009)。此外,回归分析显示,12.1%的艾滋病风险认知变化可以由研究中的几个变量解释。结论:考虑到艾滋病健康素养和社会资本与艾滋病风险认知之间的关系,可以得出结论,增加青少年的视觉和书面分析和理解能力,以及家庭中的凝聚力,尊重,信任和相互理解,可以成为预防艾滋病的保护因素。HIV / AIDS Rev 2021;20, 1: 52-58 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5114/hivar.2021.105112
