摘要
目的了解医务人员对男男性接触者 (MSM) 群体认识, 促进该人群性病、艾滋病防治服务工作的改善。方法通过访谈定性了解医务人员对MSM群体的了解程度和对服务工作开展的知识、能力需求。结果通过对访谈结果的分析发现医务人员对MSM人群的认识不足, 甚至根本不了解群体的存在, 因此, 对群体的实际需求也不了解。医务人员中存在着对人群的偏见和恐惧。医务人员的职责是促使他们愿意开展该人群性病、艾滋病防治工作的动因。结论加强医务人员和 MSM人群的交流, 促进医务人员的认识提高, 是改善该人群性病、艾滋病防治服务的基础。
Objective To identify the knowledge about the men who have sex with men (MSM) among health workers and make the recommendations on improve health services in STD/AIDS for them. Methods Health workers were interviewed in order to know their acquaintance of MSM and the knowledge concerning their abilities to carry out services. Results It was found in 2004 that health workers were lacking the knowledge of the MSM, even quite ignorant of the existence of this population; therefore, they know little about the need of MSM. There were discrimination against MSM and fear of them among health workers. It was associated with the fact that they would not like to perform STD/HIV/AIDS prevention and care for MSM. Conclusion The findings demonstrate that health workers should improve knowledge of MSM and enhance the communication with them to establish the basis of improvement for STD/HIV/AIDS control and prevention.
