摘要

在全球范围内,艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行病继续对受影响的社会产生巨大影响。尽管开展了若干促进健康的干预措施,但艾滋病毒/艾滋病仍然是中低收入国家的一个主要死亡原因。在工作场所,这一流行病造成了生产力下降、人员流动率增加、生产成本增加、高度耻辱等。对艾滋病毒的污名化是这一流行病继续破坏世界各地若干社会的主要原因之一。艾滋病毒污名在包括工作场所在内的不同环境中构成了预防艾滋病毒的障碍。与大型企业不同,小型企业在防治艾滋病毒/艾滋病的斗争中受到的关注较少。本研究的目的是探讨雇主和雇员如何在工作场所克服与艾滋病毒相关的耻辱的挑战。本研究采用定性个案研究设计。数据收集自卡巴莱三个小型企业的18名参与者。调查结果显示,小型企业员工对HIV检测、身份披露、员工离职、自杀念头、八卦等存在恐惧心理。实施有效的国家艾滋病毒工作场所政策可能使小型企业能够克服工作场所与艾滋病毒有关的耻辱的挑战。

Exploring HIV-Related Stigma and Discrimination at the Workplace in Southwestern Uganda: Challenges and Solutions
Globally, the HIV/AIDS pandemic continues to have an enormous impact on affected societies. Despite several health promotion interventions being carried out, HIV/AIDS remains a major cause of deaths in low and middle income countries. At the workplace, the pandemic has brought about reduction in productivity, increased staff turnover, increased production costs, high levels of stigma, etc. HIV stigma is one of the main reasons why the pandemic has continued to devastate a number of societies around the world. HIV stigma presents barriers to HIV prevention in different settings including the workplace. Unlike large enterprises, small-scale enterprises have received less attention in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This study’s purpose was to explore how employers and employees can overcome challenges of HIV-related stigma at the workplace. This study employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected from eighteen participants in three small-scale enterprises in Kabale. Findings indicate that small-scale enterprises are faced with the fear of HIV testing, status disclosure, staff turnover, suicidal thoughts, gossip, etc. Implementing operative national HIV workplace policies may enable small-scale enterprises to overcome challenges of HIV-related stigma at the workplace.
