感染艾滋病毒的跨性别妇女在获得医疗保健方面面临重大障碍,最好通过以社区为中心的干预措施来解决,这些干预措施全面关注她们与艾滋病毒有关的、与性别有关的和其他重要的需求。社区健康大使(CHA)干预措施(旨在让社区和社区领导人参与健康促进的教育和培训计划)可能是一个有效的选择,尽管有关这一弱势群体的自然帮助网络的信息太有限,无法为实施这一方法提供信息。本研究运用社会网络分析法描述了跨性别女性艾滋病病毒感染者的自然求助网络,她们对艾滋病相关、性别相关和辅助资源的求助模式,以及潜在网络大使的特征。2019年2月至8月,美国感染艾滋病毒的跨性别女性(N = 231)参与了一项30分钟的在线调查,要求她们描述自己的自然帮助网络(N = 1054)。平均而言,参与者被嵌入由4-5人组成的自然帮助网络中。他们更倾向于向非正式网络成员寻求帮助,而不是正式的服务提供者(p < .01),以及向选定的家庭和伴侣/配偶(p < .05)寻求帮助。年长的网络成员(p < .01),其他跨性别女性(p < .05),以及那些经常与他们面对面接触的人(p < .01)(相对于社交技术)被确定为艾滋病毒,性别相关的潜在网络大使,以及其他重要问题。这些研究结果表明,有机会开发CHA干预措施,利用现有的帮助网络和潜在的网络大使,以促进公平获得艾滋病毒,性别肯定,以及这个医疗服务不足的群体中的其他重要资源。
Transgender women living with HIV face significant barriers to healthcare that may be best addressed through community-centered interventions holistically focused on their HIV-related, gender-related, and other important needs. Community health ambassador (CHA) interventions (education and training programs designed to engage communities and community leaders in health promotion) may be an effective option, though information about the natural helping networks of this vulnerable population is too limited to inform the implementation of this approach. This study uses social network analysis to describe the natural helping networks of transgender women living with HIV, their help-seeking patterns for HIV-related, gender-related, and ancillary resources, and the characteristics of potential network ambassadors. From February to August 2019, transgender women living with HIV in the US (N = 231) participated a 30-min online survey asking them to describe their natural helping networks (N = 1054). On average, participants were embedded within natural helping networks consisting of 4–5 people. They were more likely to seek help from informal network members vs. formal service providers (p < .01), and from chosen family and partners/spouses (p < .05) above other social connections. Older network members (p < .01), other transgender women (p < .05), and those with whom they regularly engaged face-to-face (p < .01) (vs. social technology) were identified as potential network ambassadors for HIV-, gender-related, and other important issues. These findings suggest an opportunity to develop CHA interventions that leverage existing help networks and potential network ambassadors to promote equitable access to HIV, gender-affirming, and other crucial resources among this medically underserved group.
