Patients with HIV/AIDS are likely to have numerous interactions with health care providers (HCPs) during the course of their disease. Research has shown that satisfaction with one's HCP is related to better medication adherence in patients with HIV/AIDS. Although a patient's attitude toward his or her HCP is important, little has been done to assess how it relates to appointment attendance. The current study assessed how attitudes toward HCPs as well as social support and depression relate to outpatient appointment attendance. Further, this study used a newly developed, psychometrically valid scale to assess specific patient attitudes toward HCPs including those related to disease stigma. Participants were predominantly low-income African American men (N = 109) recruited from a public southern HIV clinic. Analyses indicated that attitudes toward HIV HCPs, social support, and medication status but not depression or satisfaction with social support were associated with appointment attendance.

艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者在患病过程中可能会与医疗保健提供者 (hcp) 发生许多互动。研究表明,对HCP的满意度与HIV/AIDS患者更好的药物依从性有关。尽管患者对HCP的态度很重要,但几乎没有采取任何措施来评估其与预约出勤的关系。当前的研究评估了对hcp以及社会支持和抑郁的态度与门诊预约出勤之间的关系。此外,这项研究使用了新开发的,心理测量有效的量表来评估患者对hcp的特定态度,包括与疾病污名有关的态度。参与者主要是从南方公立HIV诊所招募的低收入非裔美国人 (N = 109)。分析表明,对HIV hcp的态度,社会支持和药物状况,但对抑郁或对社会支持的满意度与预约出勤有关。
