“…[26] Methods in the item response theory With the IRT, it is possible to identify on a graph the ratio for answering questions of individuals with different skill levels, and also to determine the item difficulty and discrimination values. [28][29][30] One-parameter logistic model and Rasch model The one-parametered logistic (1 PL) model and the Rasch model are IRT models. They represent the simplest of the IRT models.…”

In this study, similar results were obtained by classical and latent methods. IRT can be considered perfect at a mathematical level, and if its assumptions are satisfied, it can easily perform assessments and measurements for most types of complex problems. Classical theory is easy to understand and to apply, while IRT is, on the contrary, sometimes rather difficult to understand and to implement.

Biopsychosocial approach to understanding predictors of depressive symptoms among men who have sex with men living with HIV in Selangor, Malaysia: A mixed methods study protocol

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder reported among patients living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), resulting from the intricate combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Biopsychosocial factors can significantly impact the psychological well-being of men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV through social stigma, access and compliance to care, economic insecurity, relationship difficulties, and risky behavior. Compared to MSM without HIV, MSM living with HIV were more likely to be depressed. Despite specific vulnerabilities and health needs, MSM living with HIV remain understudied and underserved in Malaysia owing to legal, ethical, and social challenges. Objective This is merely a published protocol, not the findings of a future study. This study aims to determine and explain the predictors of depressive symptoms among MSM living with HIV. Specifically, this study wants to determine the association between depressive symptoms among MSM living with HIV and biological, psychosocial, and social factors. Finally, the mixed methods will answer to what extent the qualitative results confirm the quantitative results of the predictors of depressive symptoms among MSM living with HIV. Methods The study has ethical approval from the Medical Research Ethics Committee (MREC) of the Ministry of Health (MOH) NMRR ID-21-02210-MIT. This study will apply an explanatory sequential mixed methods study design. It comprised two distinct phases: quantitative and qualitative study design for answering the research questions and hypothesis. This study will randomly recruit 941 MSM living with HIV in the quantitative phase, and at least 20 MSM living with HIV purposively will be selected in the qualitative phase. The study will be conducted in ten public Primary Care Clinics in Selangor, Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire will gather the MSM’s background and social, psychological, and biological factors that could be associated with depressive symptoms. For the quantitative study, descriptive analysis and simple logistic regression will be used for data analysis. Then, variables with a P value < 0.25 will be included in multiple logistic regression to measure the predictors of depressive symptoms. In the qualitative data collection, in-depth interviews will be conducted among those with moderate to severe depressive symptoms from the quantitative phase. The thematic analysis will be used for data analysis in the qualitative phase. Integration occurs at study design, method level, and later during interpretation and report writing. Result The quantitative phase was conducted between March 2022 to February 2023, while qualitative data collection is from March 2023 to April 2023, with baseline results anticipated in June 2023. Conclusion In combination, qualitative and quantitative research provides a better understanding of depressive symptoms among MSM living with HIV. The result could guide us to provide a comprehensive mental healthcare program toward Ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

“…A su vez, Li, Liu, Liu, Feng y Cai diseñaron una escala de conducta sexual de riesgo en HSH de Shenzhen en China. En este estudio, se incluyeron las relaciones sexuales con parejas regulares y trabajadoras sexuales; sin embargo, la escala solamente medía las relaciones sexuales orales y anales, no se consideró el sexo vaginal, a pesar de que podrían tener sexo con mujeres 9 . Otros autores como Newcomb, Ryan, Garofalo y Mustanski remarcan que no sólo es necesario conocer los tipos de relaciones sexuales (orales, anales y vaginales), sino también los diferentes tipos de parejas sexuales (estable, casuales y trabajadores/as sexuales) en los HSH 10 .…”

Validación de un inventario de conductas sexuales en hombres que tienen sexo con hombresValidation of an inventory of sexual behaviors in men who have sex with men Validação de um inventário de comportamentos sexuais em homens que fazem sexo com homens RESUMEN Objetivo: determinar la validez del cuestionario de conductas sexuales en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH). Método: se realizó una investigación instrumental con un diseño ex post-facto transversal. Se usó un muestreo dirigido por entrevistados para reclutar a 133 HSH mexicanos. Resultados: los ocho ítems de frecuencia de relaciones sexuales definieron dos escalas independientes: sexo con mujeres (α ordinal = .926) y sexo con hombres (α ordinal = .898). Ambos modelos unidimensionales mostraron ajustes aceptables. La escala de sexo desprotegido tuvo una estructura de tres factores con ajuste
