“…Nevertheless, many patients still do not reveal their health condition for fear of discrimination or for having their dental treatment refused (Valle, et al, 2015;Discacciati & Vilaça, 2001;Giuliani, et al, 2005).…”

Introduction: A cross-sectional observational study was performed involving 314 dentists in the city of Teresina, Piaui. Aims: The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the perception of dentists of Teresina, Piaui, in relation to the attitudes of HIV-infected patients. Material and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among dentists of Teresina, Piaui. Positive perception was considered when the answer was “being able” and “not being afraid” to treat HIV-infected patients. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire that was statistically analysed using SPSS software version 20. Results: Most presented positive perception with regard to treating HIV-positive patients. Conclusion: Positive perception can be attributed to the continued education of these professionals.

“…The low internal consistency of the original model may be related to cultural differences. As HIV-related stigma is influenced by social environments, the outcome of certain items may differ across different social environments (Franke et al, 2010;Jeyaseelan et al, 2013;Lindberg et al, 2014;Reinius et al, 2017;Rongkavilit et al, 2010;Valle et al, 2015). For example, the item "I am very careful who I tell that I have HIV" is in the subcategory of disclosure in Wright's HIV stigma scale.…”

“…Evaluating stigma is important to understand its association with self-care, which has led to the development of several psychological scales (Berger, Ferrans, & Lashley, 2001;Holzemer et al, 2007;Kalichman et al, 2009;Kang, Rapkin, Remien, Mellins, & Oh, 2005;Molina & Ramirez-Valles, 2013). The HIV stigma scale developed by Berger et al (2001) has been used in numerous studies to clarify the effects of stigma towards HIV (Carrasco et al, 2018;Rice et al, 2017;Turan et al, 2017;Valle et al, 2015), and consists of 40 items that are grouped into the following four categories: personalized stigma, disclosure concerns, negative self-image and concern with public attitude towards individuals with HIV. Construct and external validity were demonstrated by exploratory factor analysis and correlation coefficients between other measurements (self-esteem scale, depression scale, social support scale and social conflict scale), and the reliability was demonstrated by the alpha coefficient and test-retest correlations.…”

Brief HIV stigma scale for Japanese people living with HIV: validation and restructuring using questionnaire survey data

This study aimed of validating a ten-item HIV stigma scale that was originally developed in the U.S.A. and adapting it for Japanese adults with HIV. To adapt the HIV stigma scale for Japanese adults with HIV, a forward-backward translation method was employed. We assessed its validity and reliability using questionnaire survey data collected from 463 Japanese adults with HIV between August 2017 and February 2018. Although the validity was acceptable, the internal consistency in two subcategories in the Japanese version of the HIV stigma scale was low (ω: 0.63, 0.60). Therefore, we performed exploratory factor analysis, which suggested a different model consisting of two subcategories. Then, we assessed the reliability and validity of the scale. The omega values were between 0.83 and 0.89, the absolute correlations (|r|) to other psychological scales for external validity were between 0.34 and 0.51, and the non-response rates for feasibility were between 0.9 and 1.8. The Japanese version of the HIV stigma scale therefore had sufficient reliability and validity. This questionnaire may help identify individuals that need increased care, which may improve their quality of life.

“…Researchers have developed various scales to measure HIV-related stigma, which differ in complexity and scope. The widely used Berger's stigma scale (Buseh et al, 2008;Franke et al, 2010;Jeyaseelan et al, 2013;Valle et al, 2015) has been validated to measure HIV self-perceived stigma. This scale uses 40 statements in its original version and yields four dimensions from the factor structure: "personalised/enacted stigma, disclosure concerns, negative self-image/ internalised, and concern with public attitudes" thus effectively identifying main stigma mechanisms (Berger et al, 2001).…”

Introduction: HIV-related stigma is detrimental to people living with HIV (PLH), and reducing it is essential for achieving an HIV/AIDS-free generation. Abbreviated stigma scales can improve the feasibility of surveys that broadly explore factors affecting PLH. This study tested the psychometric properties of a Spanish translation of the abbreviated 10-item Berger's HIV stigma scale. Methods: We recruited a sample of 105 PLH regularly attending a specialized clinic in Cali, Colombia. English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English back translation was performed of the Berger's 10-item HIV stigma scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out to assess its validity. Pre- and post-test reliability (15 days) was estimated with the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to confirm a two-factor solution with three poor items removed, resulting in a 7-item HIV Stigma Scale. The resulting 7-item HIV stigma scale had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.73 with an ICC of 0.83 (CI 95%: 0.75–0.89). One factor loaded three items related to negative self-image (internalised stigma), and the other four items were related to personalized (enacted) HIV stigma. Both factors were related to depression and adherence to antiretroviral therapy. Conclusion: The Spanish translation of the 10-item HIV stigma scale did not perform well due to problems in items 4, 5, and 6. Rather, a modified 7-item version had a good fit with a two-factor loading in which both HIV stigma factors correlated significantly with depression and HIV medication adherence.
