Abstract

In South African communities, both faith leaders and health care workers play a vital role in supporting the health of community members and people living with HIV in particular. This study describes HIV stigma when faith leaders and health care workers engaged in discourse. The study used a descriptive qualitative inquiry design. Data were gathered between 2015 and 2016 in the areas of Masiphumelele and Gugulethu in Cape Town, South Africa. Three themes emerged: (1) participants identified influences that can increase HIV stigma; (2) participants shared the challenges that they face to reduce HIV stigma; and (3) participants suggested solutions to reduce HIV stigma. Themes discussed include ground-level problems and practical solutions to address HIV stigma in faith communities. Collaboration between faith leaders and health care workers are vital resources in the fight against HIV stigma. Future research and interventions should aim to promote organised collaboration between faith communities and health care structures.

“我不知道你是否翻遍了圣经,找到了关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病的参考文献。我的意思是,不会有一个,对吧?”:通过信仰领袖和医护人员之间的对话,解决艾滋病毒污名化问题。
在南非社区,信仰领袖和卫生保健工作者在支持社区成员,特别是艾滋病毒感染者的健康方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这项研究描述了当信仰领袖和卫生保健工作者参与讨论时对艾滋病毒的污名化。本研究采用描述性的定性调查设计。数据是在2015年至2016年间在南非开普敦的Masiphumelele和Gugulethu地区收集的。出现了三个主题:(1)参与者确定了可能增加艾滋病毒耻辱感的影响;(2) 与会者分享了他们在减少艾滋病毒污名化方面面临的挑战;以及(3)与会者提出了减少艾滋病毒污名化的解决方案。讨论的主题包括基层问题和解决信仰社区中艾滋病毒污名化问题的实际解决方案。信仰领袖和卫生保健工作者之间的合作是消除艾滋病毒污名化的重要资源。未来的研究和干预措施应旨在促进信仰社区和医疗保健结构之间的有组织的合作。
