Abstract

The provision of HIV prevention programs targeting key populations, particularly men who have sex with men (MSM), has been expanding rapidly. HIV self-testing (HIVST) has emerged as an accessible and convenient method for individuals to determine their HIV status independently. However, its utilization remains suboptimal, one potential barrier is the fear of stigma related to sexual behavior experienced by MSM. This study aimed to examine the association between sexual behavior stigma and willingness to undertake HIV self-testing among MSM. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted using a non-probability (accidental) sampling technique. The study included 83 MSM participants affiliated with non-profit organization in Padang City. Data collection was carried out from February to May 2025.Two instruments were employed: The Sexual Behavior Stigma (SBS) Scale to assess sexual behavior stigma and a structured questionnaire to measure willingness to perform HIV self-testing. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. The results showed that the mean score of sexual behavior stigma was 4.15, while the mean score for willingness to undertake HIV self-testing was 0.458, indicating that 45.8% of respondents expressed willingness to perform HIVST. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between sexual behavior stigma and willingness to undertake HIV self-testing (p = 0.000; r = 0.486; r² = 0.236). These findings suggest that higher levels of sexual behavior stigma are associated with lower willingness to perform HIV self-testing. Sexual behavior stigma will lower the success of achieving HIV eradication. It is crucial to reactivate stigma elimination programs to create a safe and supportive environment for MSM as key populations, enabling them to protect themselves from the risk of HIV transmission.

Abstract

Depression can cause severe suffering among the elderly, with serious consequences such as suicide and even death. Depression in older people can be influenced by many factors, particularly physical health conditions and psychological challenges. Among the psychological aspects, self-compassion, which means as a kind and gentle attitude towards yourself when experiencing difficult times, can affect symptoms of depression in the elderly. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-compassion and depression in the elderly in the working area of public health centers (Puskesmas) in Padang. This study uses a non-probability sampling technique using a purposive sampling technique. The sample of this study was involved 176 elderly participants who visited the Lubuk Buaya Health Center, Padang City. Data collection adopted the Self-compassion Scale (SCS) questionnaire and depressive symptoms Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D). Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that the average value on the SCS questionnaire was 78.56, Min 60 and Max 99 and the average value of depressive symptoms was 30.13 with a Min value of 20 and Max 42. The results of the statistical test showed that there was a moderate or fairly strong relationship between self-compassion and depressive symptoms in the elderly with a p-value of 0.000 (P <0.005), the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) value obtained was -0.413 with the direction of the relationship between the two variables being negative (-). These findings indicate that self-compassion can be recommended as a method that contributes to the emotional well-being and reduce depression among older adults.
