ABSTRACT
Since its initial detection in the 1980s, AIDS has become a significant global health threat, disproportionately affecting women. Stigma constitutes the substantial barrier to accessing healthcare for women living with HIV (WLWH). This scoping review based on the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework aimed to provide evidence-based guidance for clinical caregivers to develop intervention strategies and assess their effectiveness. From database inception to May 2023, research on stigma interventions for WLWH was searched in databases including Embase (OVID), MEDLINE (OVID), CINAHL (EBSCO), ProQuest, Scopus, WANFANG, VIP, CNKI, and SinoMed. Literature was screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and results were extracted for scoping review. Twelve studies were included featuring information-based, skills-based interventions, and a combination of both, targeting individuals and institutions. Six studies reported significant reduction in stigma. Assessment tools used included the 7-item Questionnaire on Attitudes toward AIDS Victims (AQAV-7), the 40-item HIV Stigma Scale (HSS-40), the 14-item Chronic Illness Stigma Scale (SSCI-14), the 28-item Internalization HIV-Related Stigma Scale (IHSS-28), the 57-item Internalized Stigma Scale (IS-57), and the 6-item Internalized AIDS-Related Stigma Scale (IA-RSS-6). Validation of existing intervention and the development of mechanisms linking interventions to stigma reduction are needed.
