由于监狱和看守所中存在大量艾滋病毒服务缺口，很少有关于惩教工作人员艾滋病毒污名化态度的研究。这种态度可能会损害为有感染艾滋病毒风险或已感染艾滋病毒的囚犯提供的艾滋病毒服务。本研究对美国32个监狱的218名管教人员进行了艾滋病污名化态度调查，（1）概述了工作人员的污名化态度，（2）报告了Earnshaw和Chaudoir的艾滋病污名化框架（HSF）中的心理测量学分析，（3）探讨了不同工作人员类型之间污名化态度的差异。总体而言，惩教和医务人员对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者表示非污名化的态度，但认为其他人存在污名化和歧视。因素分析显示，三个因素的结构捕获两个机制的HSF（偏见，歧视）。工作人员类型或设置的因素得分差异不大。矫正艾滋病毒服务和未来的研究对艾滋病毒的污名态度的影响进行了讨论。
With numerous HIV service gaps in prisons and jails, there has been little research on HIV stigma attitudes among correctional staff. Such attitudes may undermine HIV services for inmates at risk of or infected with HIV. This HIV stigma attitudes survey among 218 correctional staff in 32 US facilities (1) provides an overview of staff’s stigma attitudes, (2) reports psychometric analyses of domains in Earnshaw and Chaudoir’s HIV Stigma Framework (HSF), and (3) explores differences in stigma attitudes among different staff types. Overall, correctional and medical staff expressed non stigmatizing attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS, but perceived that stigma and discrimination exist in others. Factor analyses revealed a three factor structure capturing two mechanisms of the HSF (prejudice, discrimination). Few factor score differences were found by staff type or setting. Implications for correctional HIV services and future research on HIV stigma attitudes are discussed.
