DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Puerto Rico is a US territory with an alarming number of HIV/AIDS cases. There are more than 32,000 reported cases in the Island. In this scenario, nurses are in an advantageous position to provide education and treatment to people with HIV/AIDS (PWHA). In Puerto Rico there are more than 26,000 professionals nurses, representing one of the largest numbers of health professionals in the Island. However, NIH funded research suggests that manifestation of HIV/AIDS stigma among health professionals continues to be a significant barrier to effective prevention and service delivery. Furthermore, recent publications have documented how religion can foster the process of stigmatization among health professionals. Religion in Puerto Rico is a highly valued socio-cultural phenomenon. Thus, it is crucial to understand the manifestations of HIV/AIDS stigma among nurses embedded in highly religious context. This will be the first study in Puerto Rico to address the role of religion on HIV/AIDS stigma manifestation among professional nurses. The proposed study has three aims: (1) Explore the perceived role of personal religious beliefs on health services delivery behaviors among professional nurses in Puerto Rico. (2) Document manifestations of HIV/AIDS stigma among professional nurses in Puerto Rico. (3) Examine the role of professional nurses' religious personal beliefs in the manifestation of stigmatizing narratives towards PWHA. In order to achieve the aim 1, the PI will conduct in-depth interviews with professionals' nurses (N=40). The sample will be subdivided through two main criteria: 1) religious identification and 2) gender. Therefore, the final sample will be composed of female nurses that self-identify as religious (n=10), female nurses that do not self-identify as religious (n=10), male nurses that self-identify as religious (n=10), and male nurses that do not self-identify as religious (n=10). The proposed design will allow us to achieve our specific aims while documenting potential variability in the reported narratives due to personal religious beliefs, religious involvement, and direct service experience with PWHA. We have been unable to find published studies that explore how religious beliefs among Puerto Rican professional nurses can foster manifestations of HIV/AIDS stigma. These concerns drive this research proposal.

描述(由申请者提供)：波多黎各是美国领土，艾滋病毒/艾滋病病例数量惊人。该岛有超过3.2万例报告病例。在这种情况下，护士在为艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者(PWHA)提供教育和治疗方面处于有利地位。波多黎各有26000多名专业护士，是该岛人数最多的保健专业人员之一。然而，国立卫生研究院资助的研究表明，卫生专业人员中艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名的表现仍然是有效预防和提供服务的重大障碍。此外，最近的出版物记录了宗教如何在卫生专业人员中助长污名化的过程。波多黎各的宗教是一种高度重视的社会文化现象。因此，了解在高度宗教背景下的护士中艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名的表现是至关重要的。这将是波多黎各关于宗教在职业护士中艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名表现中的作用的第一项研究。本研究有三个目的：(1)探讨波多黎各职业护士个人宗教信仰对健康服务提供行为的认知作用。(2)记录波多黎各专业护士中艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名的表现。(3)考察专业护士的宗教个人信仰在对PWHA的污名化叙述表现中的作用。为达致目标1，专员公署将深入约谈专业护士(N=40名)。样本将通过两个主要标准进行细分：1)宗教认同和2)性别。因此，最终的样本将由自认为信教的女护士(n=10)和不自认为信教的女护士组成 (n=10)，自认为信教的男护士(n=10)，不信教的男护士(n=10)。拟议的设计将使我们能够实现我们的特定目标，同时记录由于个人宗教信仰、宗教参与和与PWHA的直接服务经验而在报道的叙述中可能存在的差异。我们一直找不到已发表的研究，探讨波多黎各职业护士的宗教信仰如何助长艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名的表现。这些担忧推动了这项研究计划。
