“…We attempted to offer a more comprehensive review by expanding our search to also include retrospective cohort studies. Second, inclusion of comorbidity of PTB from six RCTs [35–40] and one cohort study [48] may alter the review findings because HIV/TB co-infection may modify the impact of nutritional interventions [53]. Third, two RCTs did not meet the basic requirements for quality of clinical trials, particularly blinding, but blinding may be difficult to achieve in nutritional intervention studies with counseling or clinical referrals [40, 41].…”

“…In the absence of other diseases, a 10% increase in the daily energy should be considered; in case of opportunistic infections the increase varies from 30 to 50% of the normal caloric intake [4] . Indeed a weight loss of only 5% can be associated to an increased risk of illness and mortality in HIV/AIDS patients [7] , [42] .…”

“…The simultaneous presence of malnutrition, HIV/AIDS and ART related problems generates a vicious circle in which complications are amplified (including a worse state of malnutrition) and consequent immune-suppression facilitates both opportunistic infections and HIV progression. To maintain the immune status, and therefore to limit the onset of an infectious disease or the progression of HIV infection in HIV subjects, an adequate diet balanced in macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids) [4] and micronutrients is required [5] , [6] , [7] . Within the framework of Food Security (i.e.…”

“…The fact that dietary management is considered as one key pillar in HIV treatment requires the ability of dietitians to transfer knowledge and skills to the patients through nutrition education and counseling [8][9][10]. However, despite the crucial role of dietitians, little is known about their awareness and ability in performing nutrition care for PLHIV as earlier studies were mostly done among other health providers [11][12][13][14].…”

HIV knowledge and stigma among dietetic students in Indonesia: implications for the nutrition education system

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Studies have demonstrated that health care students and practitioners are not immune to stigma towards people living with HIV (PLHIV). This attitude could lead to poor quality of care if it remains uncorrected. However, little is known about dietetic students’ acceptance of PLHIV despite their substantial role in treatment. This study aimed to measure the extent of knowledge and stigma towards PLHIV among dietetic students and to determine the associated factors using the attribution theory. Methods Students from three dietetics schools in Indonesia (n = 516) were recruited to participate in this cross-sectional study. Survey questions covered demographic information, interaction with PLHIV, access to information sources, cultural values, and beliefs as predictor variables. The outcome variables were comprehensive knowledge of HIV, HIV and nutrition-specific knowledge, and attitudes. Analyses with linear regression and the stepwise selection were performed to determine factors related to the outcome. Results The levels of HIV comprehensive knowledge and HIV-nutrition specific knowledge among dietetic students were low, as indicated by the average score of 19.9 ± 0.19 (maximum score = 35) and 8.0 ± 0.11 (maximum score = 15), respectively. The level of negative attitudes towards PLHIV was high, with 99.6% of participants reported having a high stigma score. Types of university affiliation (public or private), beliefs and values, exposure to HIV discourse, access to printed media, and years of study were significantly related to HIV comprehensive knowledge (p < 0.05). Nutrition-specific knowledge was also correlated with university affiliation, beliefs and values, participation in HIV discussion, and years of study (p < 0.05). HIV comprehensive knowledge, university affiliation, discussion participation, and ethnicities were associated with attitudes (p < 0.05). Conclusions Awareness and acceptance of PLHIV must be further improved throughout dietetic training to ensure patients’ quality of care since students represent future dietary care providers. Considering the consistent findings that affiliation to education institution correlates with HIV knowledge and attitude, some examinations concerning the curriculum and teaching conduct might be necessary.
