“…In this study, nurses, working in rural setting, may have different views towards patients with HIV/AIDS because significant portion of the public to blame PLWHA for their illness, since the acquisition is perceived to be a result of immoral and voluntary actions, for example in homosexual and promiscuous sex and sharing of infected needles among injection drug users. Such AIDS-related shame was the best predictor of AIDS stigma in Saudi Arabia (Badahdah 2010). The study has inherent limitations.…”

ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Stigma merupakan masalah yang dihadapi orang dengan HIV/AIDS (ODHA). Dampak buruk terjadinya stigma adalah sulitnya memutuskan rantai penularan HIV/AIDS. Stigma dapat terjadi dimana saja, salah satunya didalam pelayanan kesehatan dan pelaku stigma adalah perawat. Perawat merupakan bagian garis depan dalam melakukan perawatan yang seharusnya tidak melakukan sikap negatif seperti stigma. Sikap stigma yang dilakukan oleh perawat disebabkan karena adanya ketakutan dan adanya kesalahan presepsi tetang penularan atau pencegahan HIV/AIDS. Faktor yang menyebabkan hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan. Tujuan Penelitian: Mengetahui hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan stigma perawat terkait ODHA di salah satu rumah sakit swasta di Yogyakarta. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross sectional. Subjek pada penelitian ini adalah perawat yang bekerja di bangsal yang kemungkinan menangani pasien ODHA di salah satu rumah sakit swasta di Yogyakarta dengan jumlah 63 orang. Data diambil dari bulan Desember 2016-Februari 2017. Instrumen yang digunakan pada penelitian ini dengan kuesioner HIV-KQ-18 untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan dan kuesioner SHASS untuk mengukur sikap stigma. Pada kuesioner HIV-KQ-18 dilakukan uji kerterbacaan. Kuesioner SHASS telah dilakukan uji validitas dan uji reliabilitas pada penelitian sebelumnya. Analisis menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman rank. Hasil: Sebanyak 40 (63.5%) responden mempunyai pengetahuan cukup dan sebanyak 50 (79.4%) responden mempunyai stigma tinggi. Tidak terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan stigma perawat terkait ODHA di salah satu RS swasta di Yogyakarta. Kesimpulan: Pengetahuan perawat tentang ODHA masih perlu ditingkatkan. Perlu dilakukan usaha terkait masih tingginya stigma perawat tentang ODHA, misalnya bagi institusi pendidikan dapat menambahkan kurikulum stigma perawat terkait ODHA, melakukan kuliah atau workshop dengan ahli, ODHA, Dinas Kesehatan, dan pelayanan kesehatan, dan pelatihan tentang HIV/AIDS.Kata kunci: ODHA, pengetahuan, stigma perawatKNOWLEDGE WITH NURSE’S STIGMA RELATED PLWHA ABSTRACTBackground: Stigma is a problem faced by people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

“…Epidemiological data on HIV infection in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula and Egypt come mostly from point‐prevalence surveys, mandatory screening, facility‐based surveillance, and surveys of high‐risk groups; there is a paucity of general population surveys of HIV prevalence [17]. This is probably associated with the prevailing stigmatization of HIV infection in these countries [18,19]. The current data indicate that there is no generalized HIV epidemic in these countries; however, epidemic foci may be present among high‐risk populations, such as intravenous drug users and sexual contacts of HIV‐positive patients [17].…”

“…Although the HIV prevalence remains on the lower side in the Arabian Peninsula and Egypt, probably because of the conservative culture and the religious and societal values, there is a need to address the lack of knowledge and stigmatization of this infection. Recent studies have shown that educational intervention targeting young people is an effective approach [18,27]. In addition, there is a need for a surveillance system for data collection and reporting of the HIV prevalence in the general population.…”

Infectious diseases are important causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Epidemiologically, differences in the patterns of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance exist across diverse geographical regions. In this review on infectious diseases in the Arabian Peninsula and Egypt, the epidemiology of tuberculosis, malaria and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections will be addressed. The challenges of the hepatitis C epidemic in Egypt and the epidemiology of this infection across the region will be reviewed. In recent years, we have seen dengue endemicity become established, with major outbreaks in parts of the region. Emerging data also indicate that, across the region, there is an increasing burden of antibiotic resistance, with endemicity in healthcare settings and dissemination into the community. New challenges include the emergence of the Alkhurma haemorrhagic fever virus in Saudi Arabia. The annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia serves as a model for the control of infectious disease in mass gatherings. As most of these countries constantly experience a uniquely dynamic population influx in the form of expatriate workers, tourists, or pilgrims, concerted regional and international collaboration to address these public health concerns in a region that lies at the crossroads for the global spread of infectious pathogens is imperative.
