quality of life improvement Social Stigma and antiretroviral treatment adherence implications for long term hiv aids care
Aids Care-psychological and Socio-medical Aspects of Aids\ hiv, 2018Co-Authors: Bach Xuan Tran, Mercedes Fleming, Huyen Phuc Do, Long Hoang Nguyen, Carl A LatkinAbstract:By 2020, the Vietnamese government has committed to having 90% of patients receiving ART as well as 90% of those on ART having successful viral suppression. Factors that influence adherence to ART among patients are essential to allowing the adequate care. This study was conducted across 8 outpatient clinics in Hanoi and Nam Dinh province and included 1133 patients living with HIV. Socioeconomic factors such as marital status, education, employment as well as health-related quality of life improvements were investigated as potentially being associated with adherence rates of ART patients. Through multivariate logistic regression analysis with self-reported ART adherence and VAS scores, this study was able to identify marital status and employment as two factors associated with positive adherence scores. Similarly, health problems, Stigmatization, and duration on ART were associated negatively with ART adherence. Knowing that these factors may be linked to adherence rates, they can be preemptively ...

i call it the blame and shame disease a qualitative study about perceptions of Social Stigma surrounding type 2 diabetes
BMJ Open, 2013Co-Authors: Jessica L Browne, Kylie Mosely, Jane Speight, Adriana D VenturaAbstract:Objectives: While health-related Stigma has been the subject of considerable research in other conditions (obesity and HIV/AIDS), it has not received substantial attention in diabetes. The aim of the current study was to explore the Social experiences of Australian adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with a particular focus on the perception and experience of diabetes-related Stigma. Design: A qualitative study using semistructured interviews, which were audio recorded, transcribed and subject to thematic analysis. Setting: This study was conducted in non-clinical settings in metropolitan and regional areas in the Australian state of Victoria. Participants were recruited primarily through the state consumer organisation representing people with diabetes. Participants: All adults aged ≥18 years with T2DM living in Victoria were eligible to take part. Twenty-five adults with T2DM participated (12 women; median age 61 years; median diabetes duration 5 years). Results: A total of 21 (84%) participants indicated that they believed T2DM was Stigmatised, or reported evidence of Stigmatisation. Specific themes about the experience of Stigma were feeling blamed by others for causing their own condition, being subject to negative stereotyping, being discriminated against or having restricted opportunities in life. Other themes focused on sources of Stigma, which included the media, healthcare professionals, friends, family and colleagues. Themes relating to the consequences of this Stigma were also evident, including participants’ unwillingness to disclose their condition to others and psychological distress. Participants believed that people with type 1 diabetes do not experience similar Stigmatisation. Conclusions: Our study found evidence of people with T2DM experiencing and perceiving diabetesrelated Social Stigma. Further research is needed to explore ways to measure and minimise diabetes-related Stigma at the individual and societal levels, and also to explore perceptions and experiences of Stigma in people with type 1 diabetes.

Social Stigma in diabetes a framework to understand a growing problem for an increasing epidemic
The Patient: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research, 2013Co-Authors: Jasmin Schabert, Jessica L Browne, Kylie Mosely, Jane SpeightAbstract:A comprehensive understanding of the Social and psychological impact of diabetes mellitus is important for informing policy and practice. One potentially significant, yet under-researched, issue is the Social Stigma surrounding diabetes. This narrative review draws on literature about health-related Stigma in diabetes and other chronic conditions in order to develop a framework for understanding diabetes-related Stigma. Our review of the literature found that people who do not have diabetes assume that diabetes is not a Stigmatized condition. In contrast, people with diabetes report that Stigma is a significant concern to them, experienced across many life domains, e.g., in the workplace, in relationships. The experience of diabetes-related Stigma has a significant negative impact on many aspects of psychological well-being and may also result in sub-optimal clinical outcomes for people with diabetes. We propose a framework that highlights the causes (attitudes of blame, feelings of fear and disgust, and the felt need to enforce Social norms and avoid disease), experiences (being judged, rejected, and discriminated against), and consequences (e.g., distress, poorer psychological well-being, and sub-optimal self-care) of diabetes-related Stigma and also identifies potential mitigating strategies to reduce diabetes-related Stigma and/or enhance coping and resilience amongst people with diabetes. The systematic investigation of the experiences, causes, and consequences of diabetes-related Stigma is an urgent research priority.

experiences of Social Stigma and implications for healthcare among a diverse population of hiv positive adults
Journal of Urban Health-bulletin of The New York Academy of Medicine, 2007Co-Authors: Jennifer N Sayles, Gery W Ryan, Junell S Silver, Catherine A Sarkisian, William E CunninghamAbstract:Stigma profoundly affects the lives of people with HIV/AIDS. Fear of being identified as having HIV or AIDS may discourage a person from getting tested, from accessing medical services and medications, and from disclosing their HIV status to family and friends. In the present study, we use focus groups to identify the most salient domains of Stigma and the coping strategies that may be common to a group of diverse, low-income women and men living with HIV in Los Angeles, CA (n=48). We also explore the impact of Stigma on health and healthcare among HIV positive persons in our sample. Results indicate that the most salient domains of Stigma include: blame and stereotypes of HIV, fear of contagion, disclosure of a Stigmatized role, and renegotiating Social contracts. We use the analysis to develop a framework where Stigma is viewed as a Social process composed of the struggle for both internal change (self-acceptance) and reintegration into the community. We discuss implications of HIV-related Stigma for the mental and physical health of HIV-positive women and men and suggestions for possible interventions to address Stigma in the healthcare setting.
