背景：来自南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔的120名教育工作者接受了艾滋病毒/艾滋病培训。方法：在2次干预前后对教育工作者进行自填式问卷调查。衡量标准包括人口统计学特征、教师对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的知识、处理艾滋病毒/艾滋病情况的自我效能以及对艾滋病毒相关问题的态度（污名化和其他）。第一个干预措施是一个光盘，第二个干预措施涉及教育工作者接受为期两天的关于艾滋病毒传播、风险因素和教育工作者应该了解和采取的行动的讲习班。第一步是测试成见问题调查表的内部一致性，并制定和测试该调查表的潜在分量表。第二步需要测试的统计学关联之间的耻辱（作为衡量的耻辱工具及其分量表）和各种人口和艾滋病毒知识相关的variables.RESULTS：整体耻辱规模有一个克朗巴赫α系数为0.66。参加讲习班的教育工作者普遍低于参加光盘干预的教育工作者。在这两种干预措施之后，这两组教育工作者的耻辱感都大大降低。在控制了教育工作者的基本耻辱水平和人口概况后，关于艾滋病毒作为一种疾病的一般知识和关于艾滋病毒传播风险的具体知识的提高与耻辱态度的减少在统计学上显著相关。在两种类型的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染后，教师的耻辱态度水平在统计学上显著降低。艾滋病培训和统计也显着相关的艾滋病毒知识的改善。
BACKGROUND: One hundred and twenty educators from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, underwent HIV/AIDS training. The educators were surveyed about their attitudes toward people with HIV.METHODS: The educators completed self-administered survey questionnaires both before and after 2 interventions. Measures included demographic characteristics, teachers' knowledge about HIV/AIDS, self-efficacy in handling HIV/AIDS situations, and attitudes (stigma and otherwise) toward HIV-related issues. The first intervention was a CD-ROM and the second intervention involved educators receiving a 2-day workshop on HIV transmission, risk factors, and actions that educators should know and undertake. The first step entailed testing the stigma instrument for its internal consistency and developing and testing potential subscales from the instrument. The second step entailed testing for the statistical associations between stigma (as measured by the stigma instrument and its subscales) and various demographic and HIV knowledge-related variables.RESULTS: The overall stigma scale had a Cronbach alpha coefficient of .66. Educators in the workshop generally had lower baseline levels of stigma than those in the CD-ROM intervention. Following both interventions, the stigma levels of both groups of educators were significantly reduced. Improvements in the general knowledge about HIV as a disease and in the specific knowledge about HIV transmission risks were both statistically significantly associated with reductions in stigma attitudes, having controlled for educators' baseline stigma levels and demographic profiles.CONCLUSIONS: The levels of teachers' stigma attitudes were statistically significantly lower after both types of HIV/AIDS training and were also statistically significantly associated with improvements in HIV knowledge.
