To explore the impact of collaborative intervention by village doctors and village cadres on the knowledge, attitudes, and testing behaviors regarding HIV/AIDS among middle-aged and elderly high-risk populations in rural areas.
Using purposive sampling, 64 middle-aged and elderly individuals with high-risk characteristics for HIV/AIDS in M Village, Luzhou City, were selected as study subjects. A self-controlled before-and-after study design was adopted, and a collaborative intervention model involving village doctors and village cadres was implemented. The subjects underwent a 3-week (once a week, totaling 3 sessions) intensive educational intervention followed by a 4-week maintenance intervention. At five time points, including baseline (T0), after one intervention (T1), after two interventions (T2), after three interventions (T3), and after the maintenance phase (T4), the following indicators were assessed: HIV/AIDS knowledge awareness rate, discriminatory attitudes, condom use self-efficacy, HIV self-testing willingness, and testing behaviors.
After the intervention, the study subjects showed improvements in their awareness of HIV/AIDS knowledge, discriminatory attitudes, self-efficacy in condom use, willingness for HIV self-testing, and testing behaviors (all P<0.05). The intervention demonstrated cumulative effects, with all indicators in T3 reaching optimal levels and remaining stable in T4 (P<0.05).
Collaborative intervention by village doctors and village cadres can effectively enhance the knowledge level of HIV/AIDS, self-efficacy of condom use,reduce discriminatory attitudes towards HIV/AIDS, and promote testing behaviors among middle-aged and elderly high-risk populations in rural areas.
