“…The HIV Felt Stigma Scale (HFSS; Jimenez et al, 2010) was developed for use with Spanish-speaking populations, particularly Puerto Ricans. The self-administered, 17-item scale measures perceived stigma among PLWHIV using a 4-point Likert scale.…”

The present study involves a psychometric evaluation of the Substance Abuse Self-Stigma Scale (SASSS), a 40-item dimensional measure of internalized or self-stigma developed by Jason Luoma and collaborators, among Latinos with substance use disorders (SUDs). The present study’s specific aim is to assess the psychometric properties (factor structure and reliability) of the translated and culturally adapted SASSS instrument in a cross-sectional study of individuals (n = 412) with SUDs with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from correctional facilities and community treatment programs. A confirmatory factor analysis evidenced the four-factor structure of SASSS. Results showed significant correlations with HIV felt stigma among those participants with co-occurring SUD and HIV (n = 119), internalized shame, stigma-related interpersonal rejection due to substance abuse, symptoms of depression, substance use within the last 30 days, psychological flexibility, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, supporting good convergent validity. The measure showed a strong factor structure and adequate reliability estimates supporting its applicability to Latinos with SUDs from community and criminal justice settings. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for studies of stigma impact and intervention.

“…Their instrument, The HIV Stigma Scale, is a 40-item instrument that yields a total HIV-related stigma score and subscores in four domains-personalized stigma, disclosure concerns, negative self-image, and concern with public attitudes toward PLWH. This instrument has been translated into numerous languages, includes a shortened version (Bunn et al, 2007) and has been adapted to specific populations, including Asians living in the United States (Kamitani et al, 2018), Spanish-speaking urban PLWH in Peru (Franke et al, 2010) and Puerto Rico (Jimenez et al, 2010), and youth (Wright et al, 2007); Table 3 provides an overview of these instruments. Over the years, numerous other instruments have been developed to measure internalized stigma (Hernansaiz-Garrido & Alonso-Tapia, 2017; Kalichman et al, 2009;Sayles et al, 2008;Van Rie et al, 2008;Visser et al, 2008); Table 4 provides an overview of these instruments.…”

Stigma is a fundamental cause of health inequities. As such, stigma is a major barrier to HIV prevention, care, and treatment. This review will examine the concept of stigma, explicating the mechanisms of action of HIV-related stigma while also examining intersectional stigma and structural stigma. Instruments to measure HIV-related stigma and its mechanisms of action, as well as stigma enacted and experienced by HIV health care providers, will also be reviewed. This article will conclude with a review of stigma interventions, gaps in the literature, and priorities for future HIV, intersectional, and structural stigma research.

“…Por otro lado, en Puerto Rico se realizó un estudio con una población de 249 personas (59 % hombres) a los cuales se aplicó la Escala de Estigma Sentido para Personas con VIH (HIV Felt Stigma Scale, 2010). De la población encuestada el 80 % tenía algún grado de estigma sentido, de los cuales 40 % representó niveles moderados y severos de estigma sentido (Jiménez et al, 2010).…”

ResumenObjetivo: Reconocer los significados colectivos y subjetivos que un grupo de personas con VIH tiene respecto a vivir con la enfermedad.Método: Cualitativo explicativo con diseño narrativo. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de tres grupos de discusión conformados por 16 personas con VIH, hombres y mujeres entre los 22 y los 49 años de edad, que viven en la ciudad de Cali.Resultados: Los significados de los participantes giran en torno al vivir el VIH, en relación con el estigma sentido, el estigma real, el estigma percibido y el autoestigma. La experiencia del estigma se relaciona directamente con la percepción que los participantes tienen de sí mismos y la construcción de su autoimagen y autoconcepto se transforma dependiendo de la forma en que se asume la enfermedad; finalmente, las estrategias de afrontamiento que se utilizan se basan en el cuidado de la imagen, en evitar el malestar emocional y sentirse apoyados por alguna persona cercana a ellos.Conclusiones: Los hallazgos de la presente investigación permiten evidenciar que el VIH es producto de diversas situaciones en cadena, en donde las representaciones sociales construidas alrededor de la enfermedad constituyen un factor central en el afrontamiento y en la forma de vivirlo colectivamente, realizar una intervención desde temáticas como la memoria colectiva, la identidad colectiva y la reconstrucción de la identidad podría permitir resignificar y potencializar la imagen que las personas con VIH tienen de sí mismas y del grupo social al que pertenecen. Palabras Claves:Estigma sentido, VIH, Autoimagen, Identidad colectiva Abstract Objective: This paper aims to recognize what a group of people with HIV have regarding living with this disease and based on collective and subjective meanings. Method:The data collected corresponds to three discussion groups of 16 people with HIV, men and women from Cali, between 22 and 49 years sampled, through a Qualitative explanatory and following a narrative design Results: As a result, everything related to collective meanings of the participants revolve around living with this disease (HIV), as follows: Felt stigma, real stigma, perceived stigma and self-stigma; in addition, the experience of stigma is directly related to the participants perception of themselves and the construction of their self-image and self-concept, transformed depending on how do these individuals assume the disease; finally, coping strategies used are based on caring for the image, avoiding emotional distress and feeling supported by someone close to them. Conclusion:This research findings make possible to show that HIV is the result of various situations associated, where social representations built around the disease are a central factor in coping with and how to live with it collectively. Themes such as collective memory, collective identity and the reconstruction of identity could make possible to reframe and enhance the image that people with HIV have of themselves and the social group to which they belong to as well.
