“…The affective process indicates that perceived discrimination can influence SOCD through mental health symptoms. When middle-age and older PLWH perceive discrimination that stems from HIV infection and/or ageism, they may think they are different, unworthy, and inferior; these feelings can lead to negative mental health symptoms (Sowell, 2018). Influenced by biased attention and information processing, PLWH may avoid positive information when they experience mental health symptoms (Winer & Salem, 2016).…”

“…More than half of all PLWH experience discrimination due to HIV-related prejudices, including perceptions about endangering other people and perceptions of the disease as being fatal (Rueda et al, 2016; Sowell, 2018). In addition, middle-age and older PLWH are likely to experience prejudice and discrimination based on age (i.e., ageism), due to the misperception that HIV only affects young people, especially young gay and bisexual men (DeMarco et al, 2017).…”

Perceived discrimination is associated with symptoms of cognitive dysfunction (SOCD) among middle-age and older persons living with HIV (PLWH). We aimed to explore how the association between perceived discrimination and SOCD was mediated by mental health symptoms and social isolation. The sample included 321 PLWH, ages 45 years and older, for a multicenter cross-sectional study. Structural equation modeling showed an acceptable model fit and a significant total indirect effect between perceived discrimination and SOCD. All three indirect effect pathways were significant, suggesting that perceived discrimination could influence SOCD through mental health symptoms, through social isolation, or through mental health symptoms and then social isolation. Our study demonstrates that perceived discrimination is a concern for the management of cognitive function among middle-age and older PLWH. Both mental health symptoms and social isolation are critical elements in the design and evaluation of interventions for promoting cognitive health.

“…Assim, o preconceito ainda não aconteceu, mas é algo conhecido pelo jovem. Sabe-se dos avanços do tratamento para o HIV, porém as crenças e atitudes que resultam em preconceito ainda são desafios, podendo ter consequências psicológicas e físicas para os jovens e suas famílias (27).…”

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objetivo: compreender as vivências de jovens quanto ao uso da terapia antirretroviral para o HIV.Método: trata-se de uma investigação fenomenológica, fundamentada no referencial teórico-filosófico-metodológico de Martin Heidegger. Foram desenvolvidas entrevistas com dez jovens (16 a 23 anos), em serviço de referência na Região Sul do Brasil.Resultados: as unidades de significados foram: 1. Medo de contar o diagnóstico e de morrer, justificado nas experiências familiares ou sociais; 2. Tomar os remédios é complicado, mas tem que tomar para ficar bem e cuidar do outro e para isso, buscam estratégias; e, de modo contraditório, 3. Tomar os medicamentos é algo normal, tornando a vida diferente. A hermenêutica desvela o modo de ser-com, nas relações que estabelecem com as pessoas que confiam. Apresentaram temor devido à possibilidade do preconceito e da morte. No modo da ambiguidade, expressam que tomar os medicamentos é complicado e também normal, tornando a vida diferente. E, no falatório em que todas as informações parecem ter sido compreendidas, quando na verdade não foram, então os jovens repetem aquilo que escutam dos profissionais e continuam curiosos.Conclusões: concluímos que é necessário um cuidado que fortaleça as estratégias e a rede de apoio para manter o tratamento.

“…Critical theories and critical race theories in nursing involve examining power relationships between individuals and social structures (K. Crenshaw et al, 1995;Morrow & Brown, 1994). Grounded in sociology, critical theories have existed for decades, but recently various forms of them have come into mainstream discourse among proponents and detractors (McWhorter, 2021;Murray, 2019;Pluckrose & Lindsay, 2020;Sowell, 2019). Due to the focus on power dynamics between individuals and social structures, critical theory is a fitting framework to study the approaches used in nursing to address health inequity.…”

A Critical Discourse Analysis of AACN’s Tool Kit of Resources for Cultural Competent Education for Baccalaureate Nurses

American institutions of nursing education have integrated cultural competence as a pillar approach to addressing health disparities. The theoretical frameworks, priorities, and solutions that national organizations pursue and endorse have far-reaching implications. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is one such organization. The purpose of this project was to critically analyze the AACN’s Tool Kit of Resources for Cultural Competent Education for Baccalaureate Nurses to excavate dynamics related to language, power, and inequality. Findings of this critical discourse analysis indicate: (1) the centrality of the AACN’s assumed authority and lack of relationality with readers, (2) nursing insularity and narrow theorization of culture and power, and (3) the harm of whiteness and colonialism as pedagogy. Accountability and repair include transparency, taking note of resources and viewpoints available and endorsed on organization websites, and updating (or refuting) outdated and harmful approaches.
