This study presents a step-by-step Russian adaptation of the Questionnaire for doctors and nurses views on people living with HIV/AIDS and Comprehensive Health Staff Questionnaire (for sentinel surveillance) for Russian-speaking audience of medical professionals. Based on the analysis of foreign and domestic studies, it is concluded that no specialized questionnaires on the stigmatization of people living with HIV (PLHIV) for health professionals are available. A sample of 250 medical workers of different levels (doctors and nurses) of Eastern Siberia is used for the step-by-step adaptation of questionnaires indicating the procedures for the compliance with the content validity, criteria validity, reliability, and reproducibility. Overall, the findings of this study indicate that the level of reliability of the Russian language version of the Questionnaire for doctors and nurses views on people living with HIV/ AIDS is sufficient: Cronbachs alpha for this questionnaire was 0.72, and that of the Comprehensive Health Staff Questionnaire (for sentinel surveillance) was 0,77. At the same time, the high criteria validity of both questionnaires was established based on the correlation of the obtained questionnaire results. Therefore, these questionnaires can be used to evaluate the level of stigmatization of PLHIV among health professionals.

BACKGROUND: The stigma of people living with HIV (PLHIV) remains an urgent problem of modern science. Meanwhile, it can be stated that there is a lack of methods used to study stigmatization. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the stigmatization of PLHIV among healthcare workers of the obstetric and gynecological service. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 232 doctors and nurses of the obstetric and gynecological service and was conducted from April to November 2018. We adapted the Questionnaire for Doctors and Nurses Views on People Living with HIV/AIDS and the Comprehensive Health Staff Questionnaire (for sentinel surveillance) for this study. RESULTS: We have studied the current level of awareness of healthcare workers of the obstetric and gynecological service regarding the ways of HIV transmission and methods of treatment. The contradictory attitudes of medical workers towards PLHIV were considered. On the one hand, medical professionals believe that, regardless of their status, the patient deserves qualified assistance. On the other hand, they find it difficult to assess the moral aspect of HIV infection. Dependences of the level of awareness and the peculiarities of attitudes towards PLHIV on sociodemographic characteristics were established. CONCLUSIONS: This article analyzes the results of the pilot study of stigmatization of PLHIV among healthcare workers of the obstetric and gynecological service. We compared our own results with the data obtained by domestic and foreign authors and discussed the similarities and differences in the conclusions. The limitations of this pilot study were analyzed, with the probable ways of further work proposed and outlined.
