Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the HIV/AIDS patients HIV stigma in Shenzhen, and to explore the correlations between self-report symptoms and the patients HIV stigma, thus provide the clue for HIV stigma intervention. Methods353 HIV/AIDS patients were randomly sampled from 5 districts and a fixed point treatment hospital in Shenzhen, Berger-HIV stigma scale, SCL-90 and social support scale were used in HIV/AIDS patients for psychological measurement, self-made questionnaire were investigated for the purpose of general demographic information and the features of the HIV/AIDS disease. ResultsThe average total score of Berge stigma is 109.41 ±16.55 in HIV/AIDS patients of Shenzhen, stronger correlations were found in the two dimension (concerns public attitude and negative self image) in Berger stigma scale with three factors of SCL-90 (psychosis, paranoia, interpersonal sensitive) (R>0.400, P= 0.000). Multiple linear regression model showed that social support ( =-0.260), type of disease (HIV or AIDS) ( =-0.111) and the degree of education (=0.111) effected with HIV stigma scores holding statistical significance (P<0.05). ConclusionThe dimensions HIV stigma (concern of public attitude, negative self image) can activate the expression of a series of internal negative emotion and cognition (e.g., doubt, vigilance and other psychotic symptoms and paranoid), negative emotion and cognition expression may lead to negative behaviors (interpersonal relationship sensitive, negative image management). The results suggest that positive emotion and cognition mode and social support may be effective intervention measures to patients with HIV stigma.
