Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS ER0x2ayX. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background : We examined Chinese health professionals'attitudes towards patients with AIDS vs patients with hepatitis B. Methods : A representative sample of 1101 Chinese health professionals was used. Prejudicial attitudes and willingness to interact were measured based on two case vignettes. Results : Statistical analyses revealed that health professionals had negative biases against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients and reported much less willingness to interact with AIDS patients than hepatitis B patients. Perceived risk of infection at work was also negatively associated with willingness to interact with patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS, but relationships varied by profession. Conclusions : This study underscores the importance of developing and implementing stigma reduction interventions in health care settings to address attitudinal biases and discrimination in clinical practice. |
