摘要
COVID-19 大流行加剧了与 HIV 相关的差异,并可能干扰了提供关键 HIV 相关服务的组织的服务提供,尤其是在美国深南地区,该地区受 HIV 的影响尤为严重。为了评估 COVID-19 对整个南部深处为艾滋病毒感染者和/或性与性别少数群体提供服务的组织的影响,我们开发了一项在线调查,并于 2021 年 1 月至 6 月期间分发,内容涉及服务中断、组织变化和需求,以及员工和客户的影响和需求。各组织报告了当前组织层面的财务和结构问题、员工面临的困难(包括心理健康挑战和缺乏技术熟练程度),以及客户面临的更大挑战(包括心理健康问题、药物使用和住房不稳定性等)。各组织在应对客户和员工日益加剧的心理健康挑战时需要得到支持,在解决与大流行病相关的经济差距时也需要得到财政支持。
The COVID-19 Pandemic: Impact on Southern HIV Service Organizations, Staff, and Clients.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated HIV-related disparities and has likely disrupted service provision by organizations providing critical HIV-related services, especially in the U.S. Deep South, an area disproportionately affected by HIV. To assess the impact of COVID-19 on organizations providing services for people living with HIV and/or sexual and gender minorities throughout the Deep South, an online survey was developed and disseminated from January to June 2021 regarding service disruption, organizational changes and needs, and staff and client impact and needs. Organizations reported ongoing organization-level financial and structural complications, staff difficulties including mental health challenges and lack of technology proficiency, and exacerbated challenges for clients including increased mental health concerns, substance use, and housing instability, among others. Organizations will need to be supported as they navigate the exacerbated mental health challenges of clients and staff as well as financially supported as they address economic disparities related to the pandemic.
