本报告介绍了针对马拉维小学教师艾滋病毒相关态度、知识和行为的艾滋病毒预防同伴小组干预措施的实施情况和短期结果。这项干预措施基于社会认知学习模型，于 2000 年在两所设有远程学习课程的教师培训学院进行。参加认证前最后六周培训课程的小学教师自愿参加。小组长是各小组选出的老师，经过培训后，他们协助同伴小组干预。教师们完成了前测和后测问卷。 286名测前测后样本可匹配的见习教师，大部分报告了其艾滋病预防相关知识、态度、自我效能、行为改变和安全套使用意愿的积极变化。然而，在干预后立即进行的后测试中，他们并没有表现出更高水平的感知风险，更希望人们能够改变他们的高风险性行为，或者更同意应该允许艾滋病毒感染者进入公共场所。这项研究证明了在小学教师培训期间进行艾滋病毒预防干预的可行性。此后，马拉维教育部通过非政府组织向 90% 以上的见习教师提供了该计划。
This report describes the implementation and short-term results of a peer group intervention for HIV prevention on the HIV-related attitudes, knowledge and behaviours of primary school teachers in Malawi. The intervention, based on the social-cognitive learning model, took place in 2000 at two teacher training colleges with a distance-learning programme. Primary school teachers attending a final six-week training session before certification volunteered to participate. Group leaders were teachers selected by each group, and after training they facilitated the peer group intervention. The teachers completed a pre-test and post-test questionnaire. The 286 trainee teachers whose pre- and post-test samples could be matched, largely reported positive changes in their HIV-prevention-related knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, behaviour change and condom-use intentions. However, at post-test immediately after the intervention they did not show a higher level of perceived-risk, a greater hope that people could change their high-risk sexual behaviour, or greater agreement that persons infected with HIV should be allowed in public places. This research demonstrates the feasibility of an HIV-prevention intervention for primary school teachers during their training. The Malawi Ministry of Education has since made the programme available to over 90 per cent of all trainee teachers through an NGO.
