Filter by:Background: Sex workers and sexual minorities (SWSM) often encounter barriers when accessing healthcare services due to social stigma and discrimination. In Hong Kong, stigma and prejudice exist among nurses and nursing students toward SWSM. Aims: This education initiative aims to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and clinical competence of nursing students in caring for SWSM. Methods: This pilot study will employ a one-group pre-and post-test design. Convenience sampling will be used to recruit 52 nursing students from the clinical phase of the Bachelor of Nursing program at the School of Nursing and Health Studies of Hong Kong Metropolitan University, as well as nursing students from other local universities. The intervention will consist of a four-session one-day workshop based on social cognitive theory and interpersonal contact theory. The workshop will cover various topics, including terminologies, human rights, stigma and discrimination in healthcare settings, contact with SWSM, and skills building. The primary outcome measure will include participants' attitudes toward SWSM. Secondary outcome measures included their knowledge and clinical competence. These outcome measurements will be assessed at baseline (T0) and after the intervention (T1) and three months follow up (T2). Additionally, focus group discussions will be carried out to explore participants' experiences of the intervention. Discussion: Findings from this study could contribute to the existing knowledge on stigma surrounding SWSM in Hong Kong and its impact on healthcare. The intervention is expected to increase the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of nursing students in providing care for SWSM. By promoting non-judgmental and equitable care, the research aims to contribute to the overall well-being and health outcomes of SWSM. These results will inform future nursing education curricula and clinical practice, facilitating the development of more inclusive and patient-centered care for marginalized populations in Hong Kong and beyond.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of an online format of the group-based intervention "Honest Open Proud-College" among Canadian post-secondary students.
The goal of study is to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy-based psychoeducation on the level of stigmatization applied to relatives of schizophrenia patients. Type of study: This study was planned as a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with an observation and control group. Participants: The population of the study consisted of the relatives of schizophrenia patients who were registered and actively attending the Community Mental Health Center in a state hospital in Ankara. Intervention: Before the psychoeducation process started, personal information form and scales were applied to the relatives of the patients in the experimental and control groups. An ACT-based psychoeducation program consisting of 8 sessions was applied to the experimental group. each session lasted approximately 90 minutes. The control group did not receive any intervention. After the psychoeducation, the scales were reapplied to the experimental and control groups. In addition, the experimental group was asked to fill out the psychoeducation evaluation form. The scales were reapplied to the experimental group after the 1-month follow-up study and evaluated.
Major depressive and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and are a leading cause of disability. Black adults have a high burden of depression and anxiety. This study aims to assess a self- administered video-based intervention to reduce mental illness stigma and medical mistrust among Black adults with moderate to severe depression or anxiety.
This study was designed to examine the effects of peer education-supported psychosocial skills training on stigma perceptions, social functionality and insight levels of chronic psychiatric patients followed up in a community mental health center. The research was planned as a mixed method study conducted in a randomized controlled experimental study design and a qualitative study design. With the findings obtained, it is aimed to increase the social functionality of the patients, to increase the level of insight and to reduce the perception of stigma, and to close an important gap in the literature, thanks to peer education-supported psychosocial skills training.
The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of a whole-school approach that addresses non-suicidal self-injury and targets adolescents, parents and teachers. Whether training and interventions can influence NSSI will be examined. Furthermore, investigations will be conducted to examine whether this whole-school approach can reduce symptoms of mental health problems in adolescents, reduce stigma och increase help-seeking and perception of social support. Using a clustered waitlist control design, six lower secondary schools were randomized to either intervention or waitlist during four months (control groups were then given the intervention). Measures of NSSI, suicidality, mental well-being, stigma, attitudes, help-seeking and perceived social support were administered at baseline, after the intervention and at 6, 12 and 18-months follow-up. Two hundred and sixty-seven adolescents in seventh and eight grade participated in the study (135 active group and 132 control group). The interventions were delivered during four months. For adolescents, interventions were delivered in the class room and consisted of five sessions of the Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) program and one additional session focusing specifically on knowledge, stigma and attitudes toward NSSI (KRAS). Parents were offered an online psychoeducation on NSSI, as were all school staff during this time period. School health care personnel, nurses, psychologist and counsellors and other school staff, such as teachers' aids, support staff and mentors took part in a 2-day workshop on NSSI and suicidality.
Alcohol and other drug use is common among people living with HIV in South Africa and is associated with worse engagement in HIV care. There is evidence that healthcare workers in this setting, including community health workers who play a central role in re-engaging patients back into HIV care, exhibit stigmatizing behaviors towards HIV patients who use substances. In general, healthcare worker stigma towards alcohol and other drug use is associated with poorer treatment of patients who use substances, and in this setting, healthcare worker stigma towards alcohol and other drug use has been associated with worse patient engagement in HIV care. In the United States, peer recovery coaches (PRCs), who are trained individuals with lived substance use recovery experience, have helped patients who use substances engage in healthcare. Theoretically, integrating a PRC onto a healthcare team also increases healthcare worker contact with a person with substance use experience, which may be associated with lower stigma. Yet, a PRC model has not yet been tested in South African HIV care. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop and pilot a PRC model integrated into community-based primary care teams providing HIV services in South Africa. The study aims to compare a healthcare team with a PRC to a team without a PRC. The investigators will primarily assess the implementation of this PRC model and rates of patient re-engagement in care.
The scope of this study is to engage Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funded organizations in the South/East US to co-develop context-responsive programs to reduce structural racism and discrimination (SRD) against Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) living with HIV (PLH) and BIPOC healthcare workers. Six RWHAP clinics will be selected to participate and be assigned to one of three sequences (two clinics per cluster). All members will complete participate in interactive trainings to raise awareness of and reduce SRD, from the clinic policy level, to attitudes, to the clinic environment. All clinic members and select patients will complete self-administered surveys every 6 months over 18 months.
