20.500.12556/DiRROS-28676 Poznavanje virusa humane imunske pomanjkljivosti in prepričanja zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi Human immunodeficiency virus knowledge and beliefs of healthcare workers Uvod: V javni percepciji so se skozi čas oblikovale napačne predstave o okužbi z virusom humane imunske pomanjkljivosti (HIV) in sindromom pridobljene imunske pomanjkljivosti (aids). Prepričanje, da je virus HIV vezan na določene skupine ljudi, prispeva k stigmatizaciji in socialnemu izključevanju, kar otežuje vključevanje v družbo in dostop do zdravstvene oskrbe. Namen raziskave je bil preveriti povezanost med znanjem izvajalcev zdravstvene nege o okužbi z virusom HIV in prepričanji, ki jih imajo zdravstveni delavci o okuženih s tem virusom. Metode: Izvedena je bila kvantitativna raziskava. Podatke smo zbrali z vprašalnikom na priložnostnem vzorcu 166 oseb (87,3 % ženskega spola). Notranjo konsistentnost vprašalnika smo potrdili z izračunom Cronbach alfe za podlestvice, nastale na podlagi faktorske analize (0,773 (95% CI [0,705; 0,827]) in 0,746 (95% CI [0,670; 0,807]). Rezultati: Eksplorativna faktorska analiza je pokazala, da se jasno izločita dva faktorja oziroma zaščitniška in obtoževalna prepričanja (51,1 % variance). Zaščitniška prepričanja so bila povezana z znanjem o okužbi (r = –0,439, p < 0,001). Regresijska analiza je pokazala, da sta delovna doba (b = –0,045, t = –3,065, p = 0,002) in zaposlitveni status diplomirane medicinske sestre/zdravstvenika (v primerjavi z bolničarjem negovalcem) (b = 1,080, t = 2,43, p = 0,016) značilna napovedovalca znanja o virusu HIV. Diskusija in zaključek: Z omogočanjem pogostejših izobraževanj o okužbah z virusom HIV bi lahko zmanjšali strah zdravstvenih delavcev in stigmatizacijo pacientov ter izboljšali njihovo oskrbo Introduction: Misconceptions about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have long persisted in the public perception. The belief that HIV only affects certain groups of people contributes to stigmatisation and social exclusion, and hinders social integration and access to health care. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between healthcare providers' knowledge of HIV infection and healthcare professionals' beliefs about people infected with the virus.Methods: A quantitative study was conducted. Data were collected using a questionnaire administered to a convenience sample of 166 individuals (87.3% female). The internal consistency of the questionnaire was confirmed using Cronbach's α for the subscales created on the basis of factor analysis (0.773 (95% CI [0.705; 0.827]) and 0.746 (95% CI [0.670; 0.807]). Results: Exploratory factor analysis identified two distinct factors: protective and accusatory beliefs (51.1% variance). Protective beliefs were associated with knowledge about the infection (r = -0.439, p < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that length of service (b = -0.045, t = -3.065, p = 0.002) and employment status as a registered nurse/healthcare professional (compared to nursing assistant) (b = 1.080, t = 2.43, p = 0.016) were significant predictors of HIV knowledge.Discussion and conclusion: More frequent training on HIV infection could reduce fear and stigmatisation among healthcare professionals and improve the quality of patient care.https://doi.org/10.14528/snr.2026.60.1.3316 izobrazba spolno prenosljive okužbe zdravstveni delavci stigma virus humane imunske pomanjkljivosti education sexually transmitted infections stigma human immunodeficiency virus healthcare workers true false true Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2026-03-27 18:47:02 2026-06-07 09:51:49 2026-06-08 03:45:27 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Soavtorji: Tamara Štemberger Kolnik, Andreja Hrovat Bukovšek, Aleš Jelenc; str. 17-25 št. 1 Letn. 60 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-03-24 616.9 1318-2951 10.14528/snr.2026.60.1.3316 273078275 https://obzornik.zbornica-zveza.si:8443/index.php/ObzorZdravNeg/article/view/3316 1 f752e285-2a04-11f1-8a61-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=42625 https://doi.org/10.14528/snr.2026.60.1.3316 1 f755cf51-2a04-11f1-8a61-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=42626 WEB_obzornik_2026-60-1_Derajic_.pdf WEB_obzornik_2026-60-1_Derajic_.pdf 1 E8ACEC84E0E1A692040F4242E43DD749 210c5839877a7c0c5a3d87268b21cb4916fd994aa6f6f3e1d79f388ae301b3bc 3289bf47-2a06-11f1-8a61-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=42635 Zbornica zdravstvene in babiške nege Slovenije - Zveza strokovnih društev medicinskih sester, babic in zdravstvenih tehnikov Slovenije 0 0 0
