Living With Hiv

Introduction: Valid and reliable instruments are crucial for measuring perceived social support among people living with HIV (PLHIV). We aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the English version of the 19-item Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) adapted for PLHIV in Myanmar.Methods: Based on a standard cross-cultural procedure, we adapted the MOS-SSS and formed a Myanmar version of the scale (MOS-SSS-M), and then tested its validity and reliability. A sample of 250 eligible PLHIV was collected from a closed Facebook group that included more than 10,000 Myanmars, most of whom were PLHIV.Results: The MOS-SSS-M achieved a Cronbach’s α of 0.82–0.95. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an acceptable fit index for the four-factor structure. Construct validity was demonstrated by significant association with self-reported HIV stigma and stress levels, and further confirmed by the findings of Rasch analysis.Conclusion: The MOS-SSS-M with a four-factor structure can be used to measure the level and categories of perceived social support among PLHIV in Myanmar.

Objetivo Describir el apoyo social percibido por adultos con enfermedad diabética que asisten a instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud del primer nivel de atención en la ciudad de Cúcuta. Metodología Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, exploratorio y transversal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 346 pacientes con diabetes tipo 2 que asistían a consulta o control y a quienes se les aplicó el cuestionario Medical outcomes study- social support survey (MOS-SSS), que permite conocer la red familiar y extra familiar y medir las cuatro dimensiones del apoyo social. Resultados El 71,09% de los pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 poseía un tamaño de red media, conformado entre 2 y 5 personas. Los participantes percibieron un alto apoyo de tipo emocional en un 65,6%, instrumental (78,3%), afectivo (75.2%) e interacción social positiva (65,2%). Conclusión El 75,5% de los pacientes consideraron como alto el apoyo social recibido en sus diversos componentes. Estos tipos de apoyo permiten fortalecer la relación del paciente, su familia o cuidadores y los profesionales de la salud, ofreciendo espacios para mejorar y f tar acciones de cuidado, información y educación sobre la enfermedad y su manejo.
